Overview
Included is a fix for the unlockable weapons glitch & stuck rank glitch in Chivalry Medieval Warfare
Introduction
Hello folks
As many of you are aware, there is an incredibly game-breaking glitch that causes kills to not count toward unlocking weapons or ranking up. Searching online leads to pretty much the same answer: There is no fix and the dev’s are “looking into it”, whatever that means… probably nothing considering they are making hand over foot with the new DLC and steam sales.
I poked deeper and i’ve found a solution that works toward fixing your unlocks ingame.
WARNING: It is unreliable. One time I did it and suddenly had vanguard veteran unlocked along with random unlocks. The second time I did it it started me out fresh with 0 registered kills on everything. Still going strong on that second reset.
UPDATE 12/16/2013:
So i’ve permanently fixed my weapon unlock bug using this strategy:
1. Delete the files
2. Start Chivalry through Steam
3. Exit Chivalry
2. Turn OFF steam cloud sharing in steam options
a. Click on steam tab (upper left corner)
b. Click settings
c. Click Cloud –> Uncheck allow steam cloud synchronization
3. Navigate to your UDKstats.ini file in these locations:
a. C:/User/ my docs/ my games/ chivalry medieval warefare/ config
b. C:program files/Steam/ Steam apps/ Common/ Chivalry Medieval warefare/ Config
4. Change the “False” to “false” in BOTH FILES –> There should be 2 in each file
This has permanently fixed the weapon unlock bug for me, but rank still resets. Sometimes it seems as if it only saves 1 – 5 kills for the first game you play on a new server, but after the first game it will accurately save all kills towards unlocks.
If your game crashes to desktop or freezes, it will not count the kills from that match toward any unlocks. Not sure how to fix this problem yet.
Steps:
Navigate to your Chivalry folder in: C:UsersGrizzDocumentsMy Games
Find your chivalry medieval warfare folder.
Then delete it.
Open up Steam.
Open Chivalry medieval warfare through your steam library.
Doing this will recreate the folder chivalry folder found under My Users in your C: drive
This worked for me both times I tried and i’ve been able to rank up past 5 and also unlock various weapons (secondary and a third tier so far).
