Challenge Failed... even though I did it right!

    I tried the Rambo mission on USA coop and I made it to the end safe room, and challenge completed. I won xp and points, and the next map loads.

    I decide... "heeey, if I can do it that time, why not try it again?" Challenge accepted. Left the saferoom and YAY, I made it to the end safe room, and everyone gets in, door closes, round ends, but the server doesn't state whether I won or lost. The next map loads. Once the next map is here, CHALLENGE LOST. D:

    How did I lose it though? I was never incapped at all. I decided to try the challenge again. Did it successfully, got to the end saferoom, people get in, door closes, round ends... once again, the server states nothing about be successfully doing it. Next map loads and CHALLENGE LOST again. D:

    I don't understand why this happens.

    This is a common bug on the coop servers. The challenges will usually work for the first maps of some campaigns, and then not for an of the others, even if you've fulfilled the requirements. Not sure exactly what causes it either, but it's been around for a while. Affected challenges i've found are: Rambo mission, Honor mission, and Safe fire so far.

    Same. They are good cautious challenges, but it just sucks when it doesn't award you for doing it right. DX

    I would just advise not doing rambo, or other challenges, on the Coop servers until this has been sorted out.

    I don't think Safe Fire ever worked on COOP, I tried it a few times with some others one day, it wouldn't even work once. I believe the admins are aware of this, just gotta hope they have the time to take a look into it.

    Well, I hope they get fixed. I also find that even attempting to do witch hunt, someone will always mess you over and kill a witch or two, making you fail it.

    I know, I have no idea how it tracks you when you try for them.

    i think challenges that dont work well should be disabled until fixed or at least have a warning on their descriptions.. i lost honor code and a few rambo missions even though i completed it before i was told they were buggy

    I attempted safe fire before and it worked on three consecutive maps for the Parish. I haven't tried it on the parish again and any other attempts failed when they shouldn't have. I agree with Dr.Zomboss or what to do with malfunctioning challenges.

    agree, would be very helpful as now when your level 100 and above, accumulating exp is more important and losing exp despite doing it right is frustrating.. lol, why didn't i think of that.. its the most simple solution for now.. disabling it..
