I myself have the message Error: We couldn't verify the Deja Vu achievement. Wait 24 hours for the game to appear on Bungie.net. Only thing I can think of is that I unlocked the Brainpan achievement offline. Any help to resolve this would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Wolfie.

Just today I decided to get my final Vid Master Challenge...Endure. Me and 3 of my friends finished it and upon finishing it I went onto my Bungie.net account and went to go get my recon armor. When I looked it said "Error: We couldn't verify the Deja Vu achievement. Wait 24 hours for the game to appear on Bungie.net." I understand that it may take a day to upload the stats, but it has taken my a long time to get these Vid Masters. So all that I ask is for Bungie to help supply me with the Recon armor that I have earned properly.
Thanks, BARONthatisRED.

P.S. Just the other day it had the Deja Vu achievement registered on my Bungie account. Go figure?

We will destroy you.

I am getting the following error on my Road to Recon screen:

Error: We couldn't verify the Endure achievement. Wait 24 hours for the game to appear on Bungie.net

All my Vidmaster Achievements showup in the achievements tab of my profile, including Endure earned Oct 2nd.

This achievement was done on XBL with my tow roommates and our other friend at his house. My roommate, who barely cares about Recon, got his armor instantly. I on the other hand have been waiting for four days.

Please fix this Bungie.

Here is my scenario - I got all Acheivements LEGIT and instead of an "unlock my recon" button I get a message saying that they have not been able to verify my Endure Acheivement and to allow 24 hours. I completed ENDURE on 10/12/09 and it shows up in my bungie firefight history, so I am puzzled

  • 11.09.2009 3:53 PM PDT

It says Bungie.net can't verify my Classic Achievement. I got it a month ago. It says the whole 24 hour wait thing, but I have read a few other people's post with the same issue. Bungie, helpz?

I think what it does prove is that Bungie is constantly working the issue. It seems that some people who do the Vidmasters together then go and hit their Recon switch, maybe one of the four get an error message.

As long as all the achievements have been done legit, Bungie will fix it. It says wait 24 hours, but there are a lot of people out there and this is a big network. While Bungie is one entity to us, we are hundreds of thousands of entities to them.

Now this is just a guess, but I think Bungie might have only ten people out of a little more than 200 employees available to check out glitches and all those glitches are not Recon related. So we are talking about ten people maybe that can check out all these Recon glitches on top of what ever problems they deal with. Another guess: There might be 5000 players having Recon problems out of say, 1,000,000 players.

If my guess is close, still, that is a lot of peoples game play to check out. It takes time and I probably am not accurate with my guess. Although I think I'm right at least with Bungie has just a few people to work these issues and we, the gamers are many.

It's good that people are posting here to keep this all in one place. It makes it easier for those at Bungie who work these issues to work these issues. It helps them help you.

Also please remember, I am not a Bungie employee. I can only offer you advice and hopefully point you in the right direction. You are going in the right direction if you are posting in here about your Recon glitches.

§ Team Phase §

It's good to know I'm not the only one with this problem. What irritates me is, I got Endure a week ago, and I still don't have Recon. I know I was online when I got it, under XBL and even under my achieves here, it says I got in 11/1/09, yet Bungie's error claims I didn't. I even got the helmet for my avi from Way point.

As for Bungie currently fixing this "bug" or whatever, I'm not so sure. I checked the forums, and, whith the title "Road to Recon error" alone, there are 12 pages full of people having trouble with this.

Did I seriously waste 3 1/2 hours of my life for nothing?

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

I believe you have to earn all the Vidmasters online, even Brainpan.

What disappoints me is the fact that I've sent 2 emails and posted in this thread and have not heard a word out of Bungie.

Don't worry, Its a zero.

Not that I have been personally, but just a question for the general public.

If youve been blacklisted, and you do all vidmasters absolutely legit (Friends, online, no guests, no hacks) Then do you still get recon?

If you have been blacklisted in the forums or fileshare banned, you can still get Recon. Now if you have modded your achievements, I think that puts you on the No Recon list.

By "Blacklisted" i mean "No Rec0nz 4 u" blacklisted. :) Like people flat out say "Hey Bungie can i have recon please?" over and over.

They redacted that, I do believe. You have to do something seriously wrong like mod your achievements. Look here.

There is an accurate quote. Just scroll down a smidge. Like one or two posts. You will see it. There was a big article in one of the weekly updates right before ODST released.

Message to all people with the Error: We couldn't verify the (Insert Vidmaster here) achievement. Wait 24 hours for the game to appear on Bungie.net:

I took a random screen shot on the game that I got the acheivement on, and it let me unlock it, so try that.

Did you send a pm to somebody with a link to the screenshot or did you go back when you got the error message and take the pic then go back again to you unlock Recon page? I'm just wondering if this would help people who get the error message right after they complete a Vidmaster achievement. I t helped you, NinjaDonavan.

Yeah I also busted my butt with some buddies, did it all legit and had to try about 15 times for deja vu, endure and classic.

Classic was actually the first one that I got. I got it awhile ago too, now last night I jumped on and finally got deja vu...and bam! PLEASE WAIT 24 HRS NO CONFIRMATION OF CLASSIC ACHIEVEMENT.

Come on man! I did this the right way help us out here. I do understand there's a lot of people with the issue but why? At least give us an answer...

I searched this site for awhile and there really isn't away to contact anyone at bungie other than waiting for a response in the forum or writing a letter...

How about an email address for technical issues?

Thanks,

Donnie

Q: I did the Endure achievement. That is the last one I needed to get recon. It says I have it on XBL, but it doesn't say it on Bungie.

A: Be patient. Your service record will update soon.



I have waited over a month now, no update.... can someone help?
