Xbox 1 original. Rally Adventure DLC issue.
A few days ago (guessing 07/10/23) I finally chose to complete the Achievement “Follow My Lead” . Easy enough, or should have been. Did it, saw the in game message and got the dialogue. Waited for the Xbox, phone, and PC to chime their usual chorus of Achievement Completed ! And waited. Waited some more. Nothing. Looked. No Achievement. Did the usual cursing, muttered oaths, restarted game… nothing. Restarted Xbox, restarted game… nothing. Waited. Repeated. Nothing. Gave up.
Today (07/13/23), out of curiosity about the reported Server issue I fired up the Xbox, all was normal here, then realized I should connect to Horizon Life and as soon as I was online in the game out of the blue “Achievement Completed !” chimed from the Xbox, then the phone and the PC. It only happened AFTER I had loaded into Horizon Life. Not while in Horizon Solo (which was where I was playing when I originally completed the achievement). Now the achievement lists today (7/13/23) as the date of completion when it was in fact days earlier.
As a small test I then completed “I Ain’t Gonna Change” while in Horizon Life and the expected in game completion popped with the dialogue and shortly after the chorus of Achievement Completed from all the devices confirmed.
So, it seems, some Achievements (DLC only ? Rally Adventure only ? “Follow My Lead” only ?) will complete and pop in game if playing in Horizon Solo BUT will not pop in reality until you switch to Horizon Life (or do it entirely in Horizon Life).
Well done…
Hope this might help someone else having issues with similar. Unless I’m the only one, lucky me… but I doubt it. It just doesn’t have that random flavour to it. It’s too obviously tied to forcing play in Horizon Life or simply badly coded to not communicate achievement completion when playing in Horizon Solo.
Ball is in your court devs…
