Buff_Cupcake Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) I couldn't find this anywhere in the guide or in the forum threads so I thought i'd post this here - be really careful if you are working on making money through the ship trading mini-game while you complete story and side missions. If you are early on in the game and aren't aware yet, this mini-game will generally be used to make enough money quickly to be able to buy all of the pocket watches needed for the 'One Watch is not enough' trophy. (you need over 150k gold for this). But the issue is as follows: If you have ships in transit and you decide to restart a mission checkpoint or you fail a mission - it will completely reset your ships back to their starting position and erase all of the money you put into their cargo. I just lost about 50k gold because I was doing a mission and failed it. I got back to my base - all ships had reset and all of the money had vanished. Edit - It's possible it doesn't happen 100% of the time. So, up to you if you want to take the risk I guess! For extra context, i'm playing it on a PS5, so, not sure if that is a potential factor.

JAK-KRIEG Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) I platted this game twice and I never had this problem. I'm sure I failed missions too. Edit: 3 times vita, PS3 & PS4. Edited September 17, 2022 by JAK-KRIEG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats! Happy you didn't have a problem. It's possible it doesn't happen 100% of the time. I found a few other threads elsewhere where people have had the same issue, so, it is what it is.

Sounds like an annoying af thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I edited the post to include that it isn't affecting everyone, I'm playing from a PS5 and it's not the only issue i've had with it (quite a few general crashes and lock-ups) so it could be related to that too.

There are certain games that can behave odd on the ps5 I read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDevil757 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) I've plat this game 3 times and the Remastered played on PS5 was a bit glitchy but I didn't have anything like that happen.

Weird, I guess it's not guaranteed to happen then, I already updated my OP to reflect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did feel unstable on PS5. I think the best thing to do would be play on PS4 if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the best thing to do would be play on PS4 if possible That's a really good idea, I think I might switch over in a bit. Man it's so weird, AC3 had zero issues whatsoever on the PS5 but Liberation is crapping itself pretty regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveM12DIM Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 PS5 - today restarted a memory and it reset all my progress back to when i started the memory including chests collected AND ships I think it only happens if you send ships on trades AFTER you have commenced the memory or mission. If so, then reset the mission, and yes, you reset everything done since that mission started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
