Patias: I can confirm that the
Noob achievement is not working on
Shock Troopers. The problem with this achievement doesn't just exist on GOG, the Steam version has the same problem.
It is worth mentioning that the fact that GOG points out that this achievement was achieved by 0.1% of users of the game can be justified by two reasons:
A) Visual bug (less likely);
B) Use of illicit cheating programs.
In the Steam version the logic is the same.
I just finished
SHOCK TROOPERS and the achievement
Noob works, however the description is either too vague or the trigger is implemented in a faulty way (I'm pretty sure it's the latter). There's been some discussion in the Steam thread about how to obtain this one, here's what worked for me:
- Play normal difficulty, Jackal, Lonly Wolf, Jungle route
- Die at least 40 times with Jackal on the first level, I let normal enemy soldiers kill me
- Switch to Loki and finish the run (I changed the route to Valley midway)
I think the achievement either needs you to die on the very first level of a route 40 times, or maybe it has to be with Jackal. It doesn't match the description in any case ("Complete the game dying more than 40 times").
