    Attachments STILL locked after Update

    Some of my attachments still locked after the new patch.

    My maganizes and compensators still locked for all type of weapons.

    I've already completed the game and collected all the itens. But the patch doens't work.

    Someone else still with this problem?

    So, will there be an announcement for Health Update #2 soon or...

    Was the health update that bad for PC as well?

    Mike, if someone was about to download the game from Steam (actually it finished downloading) and not care for anything else but single play, would all these bugs and glitches brought by the previous update, kill the main game or not... fine time I took to pull the pin

    I rather not install it if the patch didn't fix much for the main game.

    Seems to have only fixed the suppressors issue.

    GMT, here's my take on the situation - a character created prior to TU15 (dropped in late July that added the Ghost mode feature) has this problem of locked attachments.

    I created two characters post TU15, and as a single-player only gamer, they are working fine.

    What got fixed is the problem of the system not recognizing your saved game files and instead starting you off with only a new campaign. AS of today I've not had one case of that problem re-surfacing. Also fixed (minor) was a sniper rifle included with Fallen Ghost DLC that never got unlocked. It's now available in the main game, as are the other items/weapons that are part of FG.

    DrUNkenj5Gs comment dealt with a different issue from that of those who had a character with unlocked attachments prior to TU15, then locked afterwards.

    So it's my opinion, a character created today won't have the attachments becoming locked issue.

    If Ubisoft doesn't fix the attachment issue, I assume my only option would be to delete my first, main character - if I want access to those attachments. So far, to be honest, for the main character, they are not missed. That's not the case for the other two characters, since I'm using different tactics and weapons.

    So the bottom line, for the main game, with a newly created character, I believe it's fine, as a single-player option. Especially since the startup bug seems to have been corrected.

    Thank you, the question was more general than specific to the OP issue but I guess I should have opened a new thread LOL... I am guessing the health update didn't botched the main game so that's good.

    None of my 3 save data and Ghost Mode progress have this issue. As usual in any games, safe to say at least 80% of player reported stuff never happens to me. So either my games, my machines, or how I handle both is just genius or something.

    But anyway I think the easiest solution for Ubi to do is that to make all attachments instantly unlocked when a player loads up their 100% Mission Progress character data.

    I think the problem is the save game.
    For example:

    Developers solved that bug / glitch with this new patch. But I was playing for months without the attachments and saving the game every day. This made my progress bugged as well.

    Interesting idea that the problem might remain because of the save game files for any pre-TU15 character.
    I've still got some pre-TU15 save game files on the PC. Wonder if I re-loaded one if that might clear this issue for that character. However not sure of overall impact as those files are from early in very first play though.

    I'm sorry this bug is still present. The team is actively working on this, per our Known Issues thread:

    Weapon Attachments Appearing as Locked
    Players have reported that some weapon attachments appear as locked.
    STATUS: Re-Opened
    DEV NOTE: We have heard back from our community that while the fix we implemented in the latest update worked for a group of players, it did not address the issue for all players.

    Due to the complexity of the issue, it is difficult for our team to reproduce it and isolate a solution that works for every player. If you experience this bug, please submit your save files to the Ubisoft Support team if you are able. We understand your frustration and apologize for any inconvenience while our team continues to investigate the bug.
