What In The World?

Yeah Sh0wt1m3 .... I tried the ph date & time trick last night as I was going to do a solution as such. I couldn't get it to work either. I was happy to see you had touched on this simply because I was thinking maybe it was my ph for some reason. I figured I'd just pace myself while doing the dlc title update

Plus one from me from getting the info from ur last note

^Thanks

Thanks for the this. I'm pacing myself as well by only completing 10 puzzles each day. Of course, I'm sure we'll eventually find out if just launching the app is the only requirement or not.

I completed every puzzle on day 1, I'll launch the app each day for the next 4 days and will report back with whether or not that is all that is required to get the achievement. If I don't unlock it, I'll just have to reinstall and do all the puzzles over the course of 5 days, which is no big deal.

Changing the language did nothing in my game, it still shows as completed.

Haha, did not know that. Then all that's left is hope that just launching the game counts as played, or reset your game. Or uninstall and install again.

Well I sent them an email asking:
do you have to solve a puzzle or just boot up the game (what happens if you solve everything?)
is it a calendar day or is it a 24 hour block? when is the changeover?
do you have to be online for it to register?


and in response i got:
hi, you have to open the game 5 consecutive days

Thanks for the info makemeacoffee!

Yup, tried all the date methods I knew of and nothing. Thanks for clarifying Coffee!

Well, I think I opened it for 5 consecutive days since the last update and no achievement. Anybody can also confirm this? If you think of a 24-hour block, I should wait till tomorrow.

Im going to open it every ~8 hours from now on, always while online, wait for my gamerpic to load and then open a picture...


but i suspect this is simply glitched. gametroopers have developed a reputation for broken achievements

@AP E JC the update was released on September 7th, today is September 9th. How the hell can you have opened it for 5 days. It's just 3 days ( 7, 8 and 9). I guess you have to wait for 2 more days.

It still could be unobtainable/glitched though.

^Just realised I was wrong there, it was released on the 5th, though no one earned an achievement before the 7th. Still I suggest to wait 2 days.

^ I agree, but I'm probably being overly optimistic. I'm sure the game wasn't able to track this achievement until it went "live" on the 7th anyway.

According to TA the Title Update was released on Monday Sept 7th so no one should have this achievement till Friday Sept 11th. So in 2 days someone should have it if they opened it up everyday since the 7th. We will see

The achievements were not live/added on xbox.com till Monday so no-one can say this is glitched yet.

I really think this is glitched, the tracking must have began the first day of the patch September 5th. Unless, it is something server side and they triggered it just on the 7th. We will see in two days.

I wouldn't worry about it until the weekend hits.

AP E JC - The patch was released on Sept 7th according to TA so someone will have the achievement in 2 days on Sept 11th. Where does it say the patch came out on Sept 5th cause it didn't? When the achievements for the update we're released to Xbox.com is when tracking began

I unlocked all other achievements for this title update on the 6th, so technically this should have been 5 days today. Maybe later today or tomorrow it will pop. If not, definitely glitched.

I did the trick with changing timezones, and the game worked just fine. This achievement didnt unlock today, while its day five.

2 or 3 persons popped it today

Thanks for that great update. With respect, I kinda felt like others were jumping the gun by stating it was glitched. Who could blame them though? We're talking about Game Troopers here. LOL!

Could depend on what they consider a "day", whether it's tracked by date or every 24-hour span (a full day's rotation).

It would have likely started tracking when the game was updated, as all other achievements in the update could be unlocked, but they weren't live on xbox.com yet. Today would be day 5 since the update on September 5th, which make sense as to some people unlocking it now.

Well, I have played since Patch Day one and no achievement. Could someone state if it is needed to "really" play the game?

You do not need to play the game. For the last several days, I logged in, viewed a card I had completed, and closed the game. Today the achievement popped when it brought up the level listing.

@Geoff, Thanks for the info, this definetely glitched on me then. I will try on a different phone.

Just to add. I finally was able to unlock it today at night, so there must be summer kind of 24 hour window or block

@Geoff, did you happen to open the app at the same time each day? Just curious since reading AP E JC's comment

Not working for me based on calendar days and British Summer Time

British time too and not working/unlocking for both me and my Fiancée.

It did not unlock for me either :(

So maybe tonight it will unlock for me then since I tend to play around midnight.

Am in the UK and have played every day just after midnight as I work nights. Nothing popped yet. Am going to try every couple of hours to see what happens

it shouldn't be calendar date as i've played 5 consecutive day since 7 Sep but not yet unlocked. I've double check i won the unlock lv 6 at 7 Sep 12:52pm at my timezone (GMT+8), now it's 9:26am here so i'll wait to open again at 1pm to see if it pop!

British Time here - This is my 5th day and nothing unlocked. will keep opening the periodicly over the next few hours/days to see if it budges...

Yeah I'm the same on my 5th day and got nothing

I waited until after midnight EST, which should have been the 5th day. Nothing popped. I am going to try it again in the morning...

Not popped for me either I will try this evening

Same noise on my end. Going to bed, will give it another go in the morning.

Just thought has anyone played logged into facebook?

I don't think I've connected to Facebook since reinstalling the game when I heard there were new achievements.

It's also not popped for me either.

Not popped for me. I started the game on Sat 5th on my Lumia 925 but quickly realised that the achievements weren't syncing. I downloaded a fresh install onto a Lumia 820 on Monday and have played a card everyday since. I've not been logged into facebook. I'll keep logging in each day to see what happens... if anything.

Yup, not popping for me either. I've been logging in at the same time every day at the same time and everything. Disappointing.

No achievement here either. I've tried opening the app multiple times per day. My only hope is that I played later today so it's not been four full days (96 hours) since the first time I played post-update and so according to the game I might not be on the magical "day 5" yet...

Popped for me today by just opening the app and pressing Play. Did play on previous days though. Could be a timezone issue where the game counts in UTC or something?

Same for me, Maxen13. If it has to be literally 5 days from the time I started the streak, then I guess tonight around 10pm will be when I get it. I was the second person to complete the rest of the update and yet I'm not even gonna make it into the top 100 for this achievement at this rate. Makes no sense whatsoever.

Didn't unlock for me. Played once every day. Will play every 8 hours from now on

Did not pop for me today. It may be on a 24 hour block or based on another timezone. I went back to check as I have pacing my self on completing the cards. I beat the majority of Level 6 the first day and left 4 of the cards unfinished and then opened the game and completed 1 per day. First achievement on 7th popped at 3;30pm EST (but had started playing about an hour prior to that), on the 8th achievement was popped at 1:30pm, 9th no achievement but played at 1:30pm, on the 10th achievement popped at 1:30pm, the 11th (today) I opened the game and played it just now at 7:40am, popped the rest of the achievements as I completed the last card, but no 5 consecutive days achievement. I will log back in later today at 1:30pm and then again tomorrow if it doesn't pop.

Still nothing here for me either. Tried after midnight EST (5th day). Tried again just now. Nothing. Last night 18 people had finished. As I write this, it's up to 26. It's unlocking, just not when we want it to...

No achievement for me either today. Will try later as it is morning and I didn't start this until the afternoon on Monday.

Not synced for me. The in-game achievement list shows it as unlocked though. Annoying xD haha

My reference point is that I tweeted about this at about 3.30pm (which is right now) on the day of its release, so I'm now opening the app every ten minutes in the hope of getting an achievement... It should now, technically, have been 96 hours since first playing this...

I've played at 6pm every day since Mon when I get in from work and no ach for me. Usual gametroopers buggy crap

I played at 12am or shortly after every day since the 7th, just unlocked the 11th at 2:15pm. So 5 days but the time is off.

Achievement unlocked now.
Close the game and open it again multiple time.
I have recived my first Chievo of this update exactly 5 days ago at 19.30 of My timezone. Good luck guys

I just got the achievement, but I only played on the release day of the dlc. On that day I did the date change trick playing 5 different dates on the same day. That didn't work, but now it has unlocked itself without even opening the game since then. I only played on one day dunno what happened.

Meanwhile ive been opening it more or less every time I've touched my phone and don't have it. Gametroopers strike again.

I have opened it everyday since Monday and unlocked my first achievement at 15:39. I didn't get it today when I closed and reopened at 15:55. I'll just have to keep opening it every few hours when I can.

I opened the game first at something like 10am 5 days ago but the achievement didn't pop until I opened again at around 8pm so keep trying to open the game all day

Add me to the list of people who have opened and completed a puzzle for 5 days without receiving the achievement.

I have the email of game troopers support so am going to drop them a message

I emailed them earlier about this, will post any response

Tried playing it earlier at 1:30pm and nothing. Been loading the game every couple of hours now. I knew an achievement like this on this type of game was gonna be complete BS.

Finally unlocked for me. First achievement of the update was on the 6th at around 10:30 PM Pacific. Final achievement of update was about 4:15 PM today. Technically that's 6 different days, but there may be other factors involved with the tracking we are not aware of. Just keep trying everyone, it will pop at some point today for you.

It's just deleted my progress for level 6, and locked level 3,4,5 (but still says 55/55 complete for level 1-5). the game and this achievement are so glitchy its tragic. what has happened with any progress i may or may not have had with this achievement? who knows.

fucking gametroopers

Same thing happened to me MakeMeACoffee.

Yeah, my level 6 progress is showing 3/3. WTF?

Finally unlocked this in game and it hasn't synchronized to my profile. Great

On to day 6 after midnight EST and still no achievement...

No achievement either. I played the game twice (did not know when the "day" ends in game and did not want to take a risk) a day for 6 continuously days now, but no achievement. No way in hell I am going to delete it again as there appeared a button "soon". I expect more DLC to come. Will try it on my other phone day, probably a waste of another 5 days...

Mine just unlocked for me at 11:15 tonight. I checked the game over 15 times today at different hours. I know my first achievement was earned on the 7th at 11:29 in the morning, so I don't think time of day has anything to do with it.

I just unlocked mine at 8am British summer time (GMT +1). I checked the wold clocks and Vancouver was at midnight seeing i started at 12.00 on the 7th it makes scene it unlocks then.

Just unlocked at the sixth day. I start my first achievement at 12:xxpm 7 Sep and unlock finally at 5:00pm 12 Sep

6th day unlock for me too, about 3 hours before my start time. Buggy but not glitched for everyone hopefully!

Wont unlock for me no matter what I do or how many times I load It up! I swear every single potentially glitchy WP achievement happens to me. Pissed off with WP games right now so bad

glitched for me as well, starting the five days again, with opening the game every couple of hours. Game Troopers you SUCK

Do not break your streak, keep trying. Mine eventually unlocked on the 6th day after starting up the game on different times.

On day number 6 now and still nothing has popped... Will continue keep opening the game every few hours over the next couple of days. Wish it had a in-game tracker or something.

It finally popped for me on the 6th day. It was around 112 hours between the first achs and the last. Glad this game is finished anyway

It would be great if we knew HOW it was counting "days".

It was "4 days 8 hours 58 minutes" for me :)

i got mine on the 6th day instead.

Just got it on mine, despite already opening it up earlier today. Strange.

Had Cortana set me a reminder to play every day at 7:30am. I opened the game, solved a puzzle, and closed it. This is Day 5 of that (unlocked everything else Monday afternoon, played Tuesday - Saturday morning), still not unlocked. Glitched.

Works for me with no problems loggged in AFTER 24hrs pas after 5 konsequetiv days chevo is mine :D

Have been loading up the game every few hours since what should have been the 5th day. Then went to sleep. Loaded the game up after waking up and the achievement popped ingame at the main title screen before even hitting play at 10:46am. It then took about 5 minutes for it to synch up to my profile. So it unlocked on the 6th day, not the 5th.

started the title update on Monday at 9:29 am. its now Saturday, but no achievement :'(

Mine finally unlocked today on Day 6. It unlocked on the menu screen without me pressing anything. Hearing that achievement pop noise was satisfying...

Just looked at my Completion Times page after completing this. And from the looks of it, from the time I popped the first achievement in the Title Update to when I popped the last achievement (this achievement) it was 4 days 19 hours 44 minutes. So i'm guessing that it is not going by actual calendar days, but by 24 hour blocks from when you first load the game up to start the 5 consecutive days. though it doesn't explain why I didn't unlock the achievement 19 hours ago when it would have entered into the "5th day".

So its probably just glitchy.

Just got mine. near end of day 6.

Nearing the end of day 5 on the British time zone and it's not working. I'm hoping it'll work on day 6 or I'll be pissed...

Someone should ban GameTroopers from releasing games until they get their shit together..

I believe the ach description is wrong I believe its 6 days. I started it Mon 7th Sept at 6pm, played at same time on tue, wed, thur and Fri and no ach. Loaded game up once an hour from 8am on sat 12 th Sept and it unlocked at 6.15pm. Pretty much all the other achs have a 6 on them so I believe its 6 days and the in game description is WRONG. Plus gametroopers suck ass

Everyone! Come and join my new leaderboard: "I Hate GameTroopers"

Unlocked on the 6th day.

Just to confirm, my achievement unlocked on the 6th day. I didn't view any completed puzzles at all. I loaded up the game and the achievement unlocked the moment I viewed my achievement list.

Mine also unlocked on Day 6. I opened the game and 'played' by choosing one letter at least at various times of the day. It popped at about 4 in the afternoon EDT.

Unlocked in 6th day without a problem.

Dont understand the hatred for gametroopers, they are the only ones giving us new windows phone games which no one else seems to be doing these days...
Let them off with achievement programming guys its not as easy as it looks that's why some achievements take longer than usual to work right and in thus pop.

OT: My achievement popped on the 7th day.

Got it on day 6.

unlocked after 6.5 days. I hope there is never an achievement like this ever again.

Day 7 of playing (day 6 of playing at about 7:45am every day), and it popped.

I don't think it is buggy. I have played other games that don't count it as "days in a row" until the second day. So it actually takes 6 days of play to count as "5 in a row". And 6 days seems to be the consensus among these comments. It was 6 days for me also.

2 hours to 7th day. Still not unlocking. It glitch for me.

Popped for me today.
Just had to log in then it popped ??

Finally got it just a few minutes ago. What is strange, it is technically 8th day here since I started DLC.

Thankfully it unlocked on the 5th day, right around the time when I started the DLC five days ago.

Mine popped exactly 6 days after first starting the Title Update. Started it Sept 9th @ 10:43 Am popped 6 days later Sept 14th @ 12:22 Am. Glad it popped for me

If you start on Sep 9th, and it unlocked on Sep 14th, it's actually five days, not six. 10:43am on Sep 9th to 10:43am on Sep 10th is considered one day.

Still not unlocked for me, started the game on 7th Sep (BST).

Me neither, played numerous times every day since DLC launched

neeker75 - Sept 9th should of counted as 1 day cause that's when I launched it so it should of popped on the 13th not the 14th. So it was 6 days when it popped for me. Anyway glad to be done with this game till they release Level 7 and hope they achievement doesn't come back

No, that's not how a day is counted. 1-2-3-4-5-6 - count the "-" in between the numbers. Those denotes the actual number of days that elapsed, which is probably how the game (and our common world) counts "five consecutive days".

Still doesn't explain why it doesn't unlock for some though.

Now that we know gametroopers can't count, has anyone done the "date trick" and just done it to like day 6,7 or 8?

for new arrivals that may be worth a punt

Finally unlocked for me. Started the game and unlocked the first achievement on 07 September 15 at 10:12 (GMT+1) and unlocked this at 15 September 15 at 10:47 (GMT+1). Opened the game multiple times each day and played a card/tile.

@wimp, u say u dont think its buggy, but yet it takes 6 days instead of 5...thats pretty buggy to me

8 days, still no dice. wtf gametroopers? when are you going to learn?

9.5 days later still not unlocking

It might count a day like the netflix app achievement does. You need to log in after a full day (24 hours) has passed. For example if you login 9/16 at 16:00, you need to login 9/17 at 16:01. If you login at 9/17 15:59 then it won't count as a second day.

I did it like this and the achievement popped after 5 days (if you are counting time like this).

I've been launching it twice a day just to be sure, once when I get home from work and once before bed. I hope that I have done it all ok, reports seem like its just another dodgey achievement from gametroopers...

Played 2 days every 6-8 hours.

Missed a day.

Popped after 3 days loading it up every 6-8 hours.


Seems pretty generous. Or maybe I didn't miss a day?

it buggy for me as 12 days later it nothing unlocking. Im going put away until update.

got mine on day 5. just loaded it up every 4-6 hours and it popped on my 3rd loadup today

Got it on the 7th day. Started on Monday morning and it popped Sunday morning.

It has been about 10 days for me and this still hasn't popped. Considering re-install.

over a week, and nothing

Uninstalled 6 days ago. Still nada. Feck

Fucking stupid not unlocking

Do you need to have played the Level 6 on the first day?

11 consecutive days. Still no achievement

My experience with this achievement: went for 9 days and it didn't pop, I then deleted the app, rebooted the phone, re-downloaded and played a level a day.
Started this on Monday and it popped today, I also made sure to not turn the phone off within this time! This might be important as the game has bugged after I rebooted the phone previously

Interesting... gonna try this!

Mine just unlocked on the 10th day

Oh fuck me, game restarted my phone

Gonna keep trying

Oh finally this piece of shit unlocked... now to wait it stick on Xbox

Did you do the same as me or just stick it out without reinstalling?

I just popped today. I reinstalled some how it pop on 4th day. Instead 5th day.

I'm on my 8th day now with no luck. If you uninstall you will lose everything correct?

Yes

I noticed an update available on my phone today for this game (10/14). Once I installed it and opened the game this popped right away. I am now noticing it's not showing up on TA yet even though it says my scan is complete.

Logged in and back out of XBL in my phone and achievement synced up now.

Thanks Hamfam, I did the update and it unlocked too :)

finally! took me weeks

finally, i did the updateand then after 5 days it unlocked today

I've unlocked an achievement on each of the last 5 days and no play for 5 days achievement. That's with the update also

I'm on about two weeks now with nothing. BAH!

This will just not unlock for me. I've tried on 2 different devices too. Piece of crap ....

Popped on fifth day no issue. Game had been freshly installed due to previous deletion and re installation for title update achievements.

15th day now and still not unlocked . I play on the most recent version...

Doesn't unlock for me either and not sure if I'm on the most recent version or not because I have not been asked to update yet. But I've been playing every day since the 5th with no luck.

It hasn't unlocked after 7 days, I saw someone logged out of XBL on their phone and it popped. Anyone know how to do that, I haven't been able to figure it out

I started the game on the 23rd (look at my timestamps) and just unlocked this, I believe I logged in 5-6 times over these 5 days. I guess I'm just lucky.

Anyone having issues with this? its unlocked on the phone for me but the xbox app and here says its still locked?

Phone date correct?

@LimboPlatinum Apparently phone syncing is down.

Ah right has it been for a while? whens it back up?

Achievement worked for me. It is not based on hours, it is based on number of days (meaning that I started the game at 10am, and popped this achievement on the 5th day at 5am). You do not need to only play level 6 for this. I completely closed the game after each day.

popped for me on the day 5 after complete the whole game on the first day so you dont need to play anygame just have level 6 unlocked :)

In fact I beat level 6 a long time ago, but since then I've deleted the game and reinstalled it, so the save was "brand new".

And after 3 days or so it unlocked x)

I've played for like 10 days straight and it still never popped. I never started level 6 yet. I thought it might be that! Thanks!

I reinstalled the game with the new update, the cheevo unlocked after playing for 6-7 days in a row and opening level 2. I had completed all the other cheevos previously and deleted the game. so I had no save data when I reinstalled
