[ANSWERED] Xbox One - "Storm Chaser" Achievement won't unlock.

Hi there,

I have been having trouble with unlocking this Achievement since the game launched. The recent content update didn’t fix it so I’d like to report it here.

Achievement Details:

  • “Storm Chaser” (10 Gamerscore)
  • Complete a race in every Rain Weather Scenario

In Free Play, I have created and finished races using every weather scenario (around 18 in total), but the Achievement has not unlocked.

According to TrueAchievements: if a player starts the game after October 3, they will automatically unlock this after completing the “initial experience” of the 3 opening races at the start of the Forza Driver’s Cup (which are not repeatable). This is clearly not the intended way for this Achievement to work.

If an Ultimate Edition owner played the game before October 3 and did not unlock this Achievement, they cannot unlock it now without deleting their save file. This issue is affecting multiple players.

Please investigate this and see that it works as intended in a future update, thank you.

Regards,
-PJ

Thanks. I tend to Achievement Hunt in Forza games and would rather not delete my save file to try and get this one.

Hey PJ, both this storm chaser and the night racing ach. were unlocked during single player campaign races for me.

I know the night races says “in multiplayer” however I was stuck at 33% competition. Since they updated the VIP payouts I started playing the campaign again and after a few championships both of these ach. popped very close together, a few races apart.

In other words, I was not progressing these while in multiplayer, only in single player campaign races.

good luck!

I tried for Storm Chaser last night in Single Player Free Play, unfortunately no success.

I already have all of the Multiplayer Achievements (except for World Traveler) as I race in Hoppers almost daily.

yep, still havent gotten it no mattter the update. Great to hear eyes are still on it!

Still waiting for this fix as well; but nice to see that they are at least working on it.

I’ve been told by Support that this may be an Xbox Live sync issue as they have checked my profile and confirmed I have hit the objectives in-game.

I’m currently going through this and figured that others who are stuck may want to try it too: Xbox Support

Another update.

Just out of curiosity I tried the online/offline method that was described on TrueAchievements (Posted by OctagonQontrol on 22 Oct at 12:02): Comments on the guide for Storm Chaser in Forza Motorsport 7 by DARK X STEVE

This worked for me and I have the Achievement unlocked now.

NOTE: This method only works if you have the physical disc. If you bought the digital download, the game won’t start unless you’re online. I just tried it.

if you have an xbone set the console as your home console if you want to use digital games offline…this also applies to DLC as well
this applies to xbox one games not just forza

NOTE: This method only works if you have the physical disc. If you bought the digital download, the game won’t start unless you’re online. I just tried it.

try reading the above posts instead of reposting the same thing…PJ did it with digital

and to use digital games and DLC offline with an Xbone you MUST have the console set to HOME
or more to the point it must set to HOME for the gamertag that OWNS the game

Thanks! I don’t know why my comment got posted twice. I did not see the mention of the HOME console anywhere, so I appreciate you pointing that out! I’ll try that next.

[EDIT]: I did the above on my HOME XBox, and the moment I restarted the game at the end, the achievement popped. I didn’t even have to wait for the cloud data to sync.

Glad you got it

Coped directly from my “Achievements” tab on my xbox profile. Check my % completion…

Storm Chaser—10
Completed a race in every Rain Weather Scenario
77.54% of gamers unlocked this
You
-153602 %

UNRELATED: Also claims i’m 100% done with completing a race with every Porsche in the game at 100%, but it’s still locked. I’m nowhere near doing this achievement, as i’ve kept track of what cars i’ve used and such Def. glitched stuff everywhere.

Bumping this back up to the top trying to get an answer. Trying the Xbox Live Sync issue that was addressed above DOES NOT work for me in getting this achievement as again I should have it by now being a VIP Ultimate Edition owner, playing early, completing the intro races and racing both in multiplayer consistently and singleplayer nearly through the entire campaign.

Just wondering if this is still being worked on for a future patch and update.

The method I quoted worked for me with the digital version of the game.

Well; i finally caved and tried the above posted message and WAS able to get the achievement. It never popped on my screen, but confirmed through my increased gamerscore, and online through my profile on xbox.com

Still not happy about having to do those steps since this is a bug for the VIP early access Ultimate Edition owners…but at this point i’m just glad i have it.

Im not messing around with my save games… Also have the digital download. Is this still an open issue that will be resolved correctly?
