For those blueberries and kinderguardians who just joined us, back in the beginning of year 1 2 if one character has the completed the "find all region chests" and "complete all lost sectors" triumph but not a different one, and then you switch items between the two using something like DIM, you'll get the triumph announcement on the character you havent completed those triumphs on to pop up.
Its an annoying bug that had been fixed but has come back
External link →/u/EdgarVerona I know this was an API issue that was eventually fixed game side. Know of anything that might have changed to negate the fix?
Indeed! We are investigating!
I'm genuinely curious and don't mean this as rude, but how does something like this happen if it was fixed once already? Can you just use the same fix as before or do you have to come up a different solution?
Folks are still investigating the current situation so I can't say authoritatively what's happening this time around, but I'll try to give an update (if allowed) when we find the source of what's happening this time!
He gave an explanation on why it happens the last time they fixed it. Had to do with a flag for all lost sectors & chests being an account variable but checked on a character level (or vice versa...I can't remember exactly). API calls from apps would toggle the flag and thus trigger the triumph notification.
Indeed! Last time around, it was because Triumphs are meant to be account-wide, but some of them were accidentally set up to be character specific: and there's certain times at which Triumphs (and other) data is updated, accessing the API is one of those times. In the game you don't notice because these events don't fire when you log into a new character, but if you're actively playing the game we load information about your inactive characters - and that might toggle a state that, under certain conditions, makes the game think you just earned the Triumph. I'm not certain if that's the situation now, or if it's something new. There was definitely a rework of how Triumphs are put together with the introduction of those new "interval" Triumphs: so it may have regressed this issue in the process of those changes, or something else entirely may have happened. If allowed to do so, I'll try to talk on the subject once it's resolved!
If it does have to do with account vs. character state, the workaround should be the same as the last time this occurred - earn the Triumph with all of your characters, and it should go away.
I created a new character a bit before shadowkeep, I'm only getting these notifications on that character, not the other 2 much older characters.
Ah, thank you for the report! I appreciate that - I'll forward that info along. Other folks experiencing this, are you finding similarly? That it's new characters having the issue rather than your pre-Shadowkeep characters?
Dude, these explanations are awesome. I love when you comment on threads here because it's always super enlightening into how the game works behind the scenes. Thanks for taking the time to communicate with us and giving such great detail!
No problem, glad to be able to talk when I can!
And thank you all of you who gave info!
