    For some reason, probably the fact my internet's been breaking a lot this week, due to the great folks at BT (sarcasm), my achievments stopped updating. I haven't been getting achievements for story progress, after act 1. I'm currently up to 'http://deckers.die,' and haven't unlocked the achievement for either that or 'Ho Boat.' This is understandably annoying me, cause I'm enjoying the game so much that I would like to get the full 1000, but I really don't want to suck the fun out by starting again, and doing thirty hours of work again. Has anyone else had a similar problem, or have any advice on how to coax the game to acknowledge that I've completed what I have? Because I've only been keeping one save. And this has left me very pissed off.

    I'm having that same problem and the last achievement/trophy I had was the completing of all the Guardian Angel challenges but, like you, I completed the game and really don't want to put the work into getting them again without a good reason for it.

    I've been having the same problem too. Clearing the cache on the hard drive seems to have cleared it up for me, however I did restart the campaign to be on the safe side (I had only clocked up a couple of hours anyway.)

    I didn't get the Achievement for completing Act 2 for no real reason.

    Guess I'm replaying the game.

    I had achievements pop retroactively on me. Two of the achievements related to doing a number of open world stuff. (Bo-duke-en & haters gon hate) its not like i was keeping track for those achievements, but they did pop way after i had actually completed them.

    It was a real problem I had when first starting the game. I finished the first Act and having watched the TNT I knew there were achievements tied into that specific mission, by that point I had a grand total of 20 points!

    @Tylea002: I don't know if you're still running up against the problem but its probably caused by Live signing out whilst you're in game, if that happens dashboard and restart the game. Yeah its an annoying workaround to an awful problem but it does remedy the situation. The same things were happening to me and it fixed them, I didn't get any achievements retroactively though (at least mission based) so if you have missed those you might have to replay certain sections of the game.

    Or just play offline whilst playing this, that's if co-op isn't a factor for you.

    I know that after the recent patch there's a few of the challenges tied to the one achievement (finishing all the challenges) that's no longer updating the progress done on it. I've tried all sorts of things to get the meter up on the car torpedo & even gotten it to over 300% with nitro but it's frozen somewhere halfway. Just a heads up for others to make sure that the challenges are updating in the saints book.

    Edit-after the patch around the last few days (dec 13), this isn't a problem now so glad they fixed it even though starting over to get the 50 taunts for the challenge a bit easier as the other save game I have for SR3 has most of the city conquered so harder to find the gang members plus curious to play the game with a character using male voice3.

    I had this happen to me, it seemed to be related to being connected to Live. For instance, I did all the Genki activities and got nothing, but the next time I started the game up connected it gave me that achievement. I also missed a few story missions I finished offline.

    I think it has something to do with being online.

    The problem occurs when a session starts online and then xbox live service is interrupted. This happened to me several times last week. By clearing the cache, I was able to get one of the achievements which was completed to unlock, but then I had to repeat about 45 minutes from a previous save to get a story mission achievement and fully upgrading a stronghold achievement to unlock. I believe that Volition (or a representative) has commented in the SR forums that they are aware of the problem and that a fix is forthcoming.

    The problem I am having right now is getting the taunts to work. I have found that if they are out of combat then it works. Everyone on the forums and sites say that you can taunt and compliment your own gang but that has not worked once for me so far.

    Yep, I had a total of 6 achievements not pop for me, I know I shouldn't care, but it's inexcusable.
