neok182 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Few things this could be. First: Dashboard, and go back into the game. sometimes they simply don't unlock. Secondly: if your profile is NOT on the same storage device as your beta save, they won't unlock. Simply move your profile and beta save to the same storage device and they'll unlock fine. even if it's like this, they may unlock after dashboarding, for me they did not. And if neither of those fixed it, and you have a beta save, then somethings wrong and you should head to the official forums for help. from what i've gathered, these are the two main ways people are fixing it, including myself earlier.

M1keX Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 My beta unlocks were fine but i cant unlock the chrome retro lancer even tho i have all the dom achievements in gears 1 :s anyone else having this problem ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olthof75 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Everything else unlocked fine except the Dom achievement from Gears 1 for the chrome skin. I am glad I am not the only one having this problem, but I hope someone knows why it isn't unlocking. Is this something that will be fixed with an update? I have the achievement, so it should have scanned it just like all the rest... any insight would be much appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimusPrime76 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Did any of you play the game before the official release day?? Naughty boys if you did. It was reported on the official gears website that a title update will be available to download on release day and that this update will scan your achievements and give you the required unlocks. Anyone who played gears before the title update would have a problem and not receive some or all of the unlocks based on existing gears achievements from previous games.

olthof75 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Went to the midnight release here in NY....It must be a glitch that they haven't fixed yet. I would like to have the skin, but if thats all I lose, I can live with it..... Just curious why it has happened and if anyone knows how to fix it or if Epic is aware.

Purple Hooter Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have tried every posted method so far, and I still have not received my beta unlocks. Everything else unlocked fine, besides my beta unlockables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddyCarl Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Is there no hope for us that lost our Beta saves? I played the Beta and unlocked everything except for the week 4 weapon skin. Unfortunately my Hard Drive decided to die not long after and I had to get a new one. Can I not access my stats anywhere or am I just screwed in terms of Beta stuff now?

BL0W1NG BUBBL3S Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I'm in a similar pickle to that of eddycarl - I don't have the save data from the beta so I guess I'm screwed!

This happened to me too like two days after the beta ended. I wished they would have saved the info on one of their servers. Boooooooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CONKER1182 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 If the beta unlocks dont unlock when you press start on the title screen for the first time then go back to the title screen and press start again and the beta unlocks should come up. This worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IXISHADOW Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I can confirm that if you deleted your Gears 3 beta from your hard drive the beta unlocks wont budge. I tried re-downloading the beta and it didn't work. Unless Epic can do something about it a lot of us are screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonflakes99 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 When I loaded up my gears I didn't unlock the beta unlocks or the medal for it even though my save was on my new gears xbox I played campaign and went to the menu and all my beta unlocks were there. Hope this helps someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Lord Sigma Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I ran into this same problem. Another method that works is to delete your profile (not your profile's saves) off of your Xbox and to recover it from Xbox Live. For some reason, my profile was displayed as having no gamerscore, avatar, gamerpic, or profile information, so I had to use that method to fix it up. To everybody that deleted the beta, to be fair, Epic did warn everybody not to delete their beta data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genetic Carnage Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Mine popped correctly after I quit to the main menu and pressed start again. Thanks for the help 360a! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful Dodger Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 My beta unlocks didn't work but that's because i now have a new Xbox So do i just need a Usb Dongle, and trans the data from my old Xbox to new one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who played gears before the title update would have a problem and not receive some or all of the unlocks based on existing gears achievements from previous games. How are they ''Naughty boys'' when the game gets sent to them early and even epic gives them a congrats message on the title screen for getting it early ? Also i got mine at midnight so its nothing to do with not having the update (all beta stuff unlocked first time). Hopefully a fix will be out soon but tbh i'm ok if not as i'm rocking the pink retro lancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I had a similar problem with my beta unlocks too, only because my beta save was on my old console. So what i did to fix it was, recover my GT back to my old console then load up the game which then unlocked all my beta skins on that console. Then i recovered my GT back to my new console, and hey presto there they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
