Achievements not unlocking

    A bit of a long shot given how old this game is, but has anyone had issues with achievements not unlocking? This has been a game I go back to every few years and am trying to post here for some help. For me, the Casanova achievement where you get 10 sweethearts. I’ve done it countless times on different saves, cleared cache, gotten 20. It seems like it just won’t pop for me. In the game, there’s rewards and I get one for having 10 sweethearts, but no achievement like the game thinks it’s already been unlocked. Is there a way to totally clear that?

    Also, to make sure I’m doing this right if anyone reads this. I talk to a person, get their friend bar up to max, then flirt until I can play the game, win, and it says sweetheart. I’ve gotten to max attraction but that doesn’t do the trick either.


    Thanks for any advice!

    Hey!

    I have the same problem with the Casanova achievement. Like you said, I tried everything but it just wouldn't unlock on the multiple tries I attempted it. Looking at the comments in the solution, it would appear we're not the only ones.

    I just need this and 'Lunar Lunatic' for the completion of this game but tbh, I'm not even attempting that unless a fix is found for 'Casanova'. I'm not putting myself through what looks like a tough achievement if I can't get the completion due to something which should be so easy to unlock.

    One other thing, I tried to get the 'Casanova' achievement on multiple Xbox 360's but I was hoping that if the game became backwards compatible, maybe it would fix any issues. I've heard of games having buggy achievements on the 360 but they somehow work on Xbox One. Anyway, if you've not already voted for the game to join BC then vote here:-

    Sorry I couldn't be of any real help, just wanted to let you know that there are other people in the same boat. toast

    Years later....but I contacted the devs and they basically told me there's nothing they can do. No idea how to force it to reset EVERYTHING.

    I see... I was wondering why I only had 2% completion when I've almost beaten the whole game. That's disappointing but at least it was fun for nostalgia purposes. Thanks for confirming this.

    Anyone else have any ideas. Giving this game another try, cleaned up a few other achievements. Casanova still won't unlock even though I've gotten the in game trophy for 50! sweethearts. I even tried playing the matchmake mode with a guest and made them sweethearts with 10 people... this is ridiculous

    Hi again. I’m the guy with the White Knuckle Ace achievement bugged. I’m currently importing a PAL Xbox 360 that I’m going to try and run my NTSC copy of Thrillville on to earn my broken achievement. Thrillville has not been region tested from what I can tell so I’m not sure if it will even run on my PAL system but if it does I can try to unlock my broken achievement. If not I could try importing a PAL copy of the game. I’m not sure if changing system and region could “clear the cache” but it could allow for a second chance at the achievement. I pretty sure the achievements are tied to your Xbox account and not the system itself so it will most likely stay broken for me and for you but it is worth a try. Otherwise, the game might someday become backwards compatible and that could also be a fix for the achievements.

    Hopefully that works. I suggested it to get backwords compatible so many times when you could vote for games. I'm hoping it's somehow tied to the console, as I have a few that I sent in for repair so I might be able to try it on them. I also did try it on another profile and it unlocked instantly, so I know I am at least doing the requirements correct.

    Just a quick update to what I had mentioned earlier in this thread. My PAL Xbox arrived today and it turns out that my NTSC copy of Thrillville works just fine on it meaning the game is region free. I’m thinking I’ll try and meet my requirements for my glitched “White Knuckle Ace” achievement and see if the change in console does anything.

    Have you ever tried meeting the Casanova requirements on a brand new save of the game with your main profile on a different system?

    I haven't used a new system, but both of my 360's that I own have died so I'm on the lookout for a cheap 360. I'm in the middle of buying a house, so I don't need to be spending 100$+ to get one on ebay, so I've been checking Goodwill/other places like that. I saw one in Goodwill a few weeks before mine died for 20$, so I know they get them every once in awhile

    Well I ended up getting a new 360 off ebay as mine died. No luck. Used a new hardrive, downloaded profile, nothing. Even tried it on a new account and it wouldn't unlock. My guess is that the game sees it as unlocked already on my profile, but it isn't. You have any luck?

    Same problem. I did get it to unlock on another profile though but I had already described that in my forum post. It’s strange that you were not able to unlock it even on a second account.

    Whoops! Mistyped. I unlocked it on an alt account, but not this account. I was hoping the different xbox would unlock it. I wish there was a way to like flush your account. I think Thrillville sees my profile already having the achievement unlocked, so it has to be showing as unlocked somewhere in my profile, but the achievement unlocking and adding gamerscore just didn't trigger. Weird stuff

    I just tried getting “White Knuckle ace” on the Xbox one and it looks like it’s still broken. Even though I started with a brand new save and unlocked all of the pieces again. I’d like to know if this is the case for everyone else’s broken achievements

    Was hoping for good news on this. I don't have my Xbox 1 at the moment but will try it once I get it back in a few days

    After trying this so many times, this finally unlocked trying on backwards compatibility for me (series x & disc version if that matters). I didn't do anything different except went to manage game before starting and made sure I had no save file at all then started a new game. Unlocked as soon as I had 10 sweethearts.

    My guess is this will now work on any Xbox One console as long as you don't have anything saved from a previous console. I had tried on several 360 consoles over the years.

    I was sceptical about trying this again but thought I'd give it one last try now the game was recently made backwards compatible and so pleased I did. Now to try & get that last achievement!

    I’m glad it worked for you. I had tried fresh just like you had but I wasn’t so lucky. I might be willing to try again at some point but it is very unfortunate. Congratulations
