PlayStation Ginger Island Achievement Bugged 1.6

[heyitsNoct]

Not sure if this is just a console issue or not but I’m playing on PS5 and cannot get this achievement to unlock with the new update. I’m on my main save file in year 10 and already have the island unlocked. I’ve tried going to the bottom of the dangerous mines in the valley, I’ve completed Qi’s quest for it, tried going back the day after completing it and still nothing. Now, when I first updated my game and went to Ginger Island it did give me the Dangerous Mines achievement instead so I’m thinking they’re switched but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to trigger the other one.

So, think of the trophy trigger like raising a flag. Once it goes up the pole, it keeps flying and there's no longer a way to take it down.

You raised the flag for "A Distant Shore" when it was erroneously swapped with "Danger in the Deep", and even though you got the Dangerous Mines trophy, the Ginger Island flag is going to stay raised because as far as the game knows you've already done it in that playthrough.

Meaning if you return to the mines, as you did, all you're doing is raising the Danger in the Deep flag, which as far as the game is concerned, you already have the trophy and it can't trigger twice.

That's as much sense as I can make of the situation, anyway. It sucks for those in your situation who will have to do another playthrough if they want to trigger the trophy properly. That's part of why I stopped playing the game in December. It's too damn buggy to mess around with right now. And that's why I'm so vocal about the issues plaguing it-- I want to see it fixed up and stabilized ASAP

Ah that was something I was afraid of but thank you for clarifying! Currently working on my second file (the forbidden joja route) to get the island unlocked. Hopefully in the future there’s a patch but I know CA is probably busy working on the new game.

I agree! It's so infuriating as I love the game to death. However, the bugs are killing the experience for me. As I chip away at 100 percent and onto the platinum trophy I'm feeling more angst than excitement in fear that something might bug and ruin that experience for me. I don't like when a game wastes my time especially if the time spent is thrown away due to a technical error. Anywho, here's my contribution to your post and hopefully pushing this up the ladder and into the bucket of top priorities

Odd. I haven't had any problems with achievements on ps5. But I did start the save quite recently, so it has been 1.6 from the start. Maybe that matters, and saves started on e.g. 1.5 are more likely to get bugged out?

Is it possible to recheck achievements for the game on ps5? Like command, like they can do on pc?
