Crackdown DLC - Serious Bug

The developers have confirmed that there is a serious bug in the DLC
which is certain circumstances will reset your character to zero and/or
delete your save. It appears if you co-op and then play solo your save
will be gone. They are working on a fix.

Also crimes on/off has been removed meaning that you can't freely choose
to have baddies roaming about. You can reset gangs which puts all the
baddies and bosses back but the only way to get rid of them again is to
complete the game all over again!

I haven't fallen foul of either of these luckily and have enjoyed Street
Racing and car impounding in solo modes only.

Why did they remove crimes on/off?

Anyway the one overwhelmingly cool thing is that it's easier to find
remaining orbs. I was on the verge of giving up but after today I found 4
agilities leaving me with one to go and I have about 20 hiddens to find.

I'm not sure they meant to...

"It seems like the options should have run like this:

Solo/Co-Op: Crimes Off (No Save Loss)
Solo/Co-Op: Crimes On (No Save Loss)
Solo/Co-Op: Resurrect Gangs (No Save Loss)
Solo/Co-Op: Restart Game (Start from scratch)"

It seems to pick the latter in certain circumstances.


There is now a soft fix for the bug...

Interestingly it is the forced title update that is b0rked NOT the DLC.

So anyone who plays CD even without the DLC is in danger of losing their
save. It will do an update and then if you play co-op before solo you
could be ****ed.

Well I just found my last agility orb, which I was SURE I had already found,
but there you go. I don't play alot of co-op but I'm steering clear til
they fix this.
