Good day

Yesterday, on the 29th of December 2017, we tried to beat the Criminal Mastermind Challenge IV of the new Doomsday Heist but failed due to a bug resetting our progress half way through.

We finished the first act just fine, also finished all of the preparation missions of act 2 first, because this doesn't affect the CMM at all.
But as we started up the first setup mission of act 2 our progress got reset for no reason.

My view:

Hello BIave,

Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support.

We understand that you are receiving an alert stating that the Heist progress will be reset. Heist progression will be reset if the player launches a mission without the same team members, changes the difficulty after the initial launch, or loses connection to GTA Online during a mission. In addition, players can only have one mission from The Doomsday Heist active at a time.

Please let us know if you have further queries or concerns.

Regards,

Jasper K.
Rockstar Support

 

It is sad that these people either don't care or don't understand. I answered them and will post any new informations :)

We now can safely confirm, that starting a setup mission in free roam caused our reset bug concerning the criminal mastermind challenge IV.

 

We did the whole thing one more time the exact same way but joined an invite only session before starting any setups or finals and it worked.

 

CMM IV 14/29 so far, wish us luck :D

another update on my end...had another random reset in a criminal mastermind iv run for one of our teammates upon completing the escort ulp heli mission... 3 of us had 24/29 while one was randomly reset to 0/29...updated my previous r* ticket (their reply posted earlier in this thread) which had been pending for a few days now with screenshots and video evidence...we'll see what happens...

the best way to go about finding partners on this site would either be the heist boosting thread (which I see you've found) or by creating a gaming session...highly recommend the latter since it allows you to pick a time and date that suit you best and has all sorts of cool little features...the link is here:

 

https://psnprofiles.com/sessions

 

I'd also recommend having a look at the doomsday heist trophy guide on this site for tips and strategies...it can be found here:

have fun and good luck...

So I noticed today that our progress reset in the lobby for a setup.

 

Once I’d selected Hard and Confirmed Settings, I went to the Matchmaking screen.

The radio was annoying me so I backed into the Mission Settings screen. 

 

It was at this point I noticed that only the loyalty award was active.

I think it was moving to the matchmaking screen and back to the mission setting screen that reset the progress.

 

Can anyone confirm this could be the issue? It may seem random but it’s pretty easy to hit O as there’s no prompt to move between screens.

sadly i also did this, and yes, our progress was also reset...in our case it was just to change to player saved outfits...

 

i also had it reset when i selected "from last heist" as an invite option...we were doing a 2-man run and it invited the people from a previous 4-man run...none of them, aside from the partner i was doing 2-man with, were even online or accepted this invite but just inviting them reset it...

 

the matchmaking for these awards are extremely touchy...i spent more effort on assuring that i was in the correct lobby (invite only vs public), that everyone was a bodyguard of mine, that we were all in the heist room upon starting up missions, that i double-checked my award progress at the start and end of each mission, and that i double and triple-checked all of the lobby settings to make sure they were correct than i did actually just passing the missions...this random reset stuff was a mad buzzkill...still enjoyed going through the heist a bunch of times though...had some fantastic partners...epic co-op...great dlc...

Finally earned the 2 last trophies, i never had any issue with progress being reset.

We took extreme precautions.

  • I was the CEO the entire time, and invited all as associates as soon they entered the server.
  • We never fast traveled or called Lester.
  • We made sure everyone was in the heist planing room before starting anything.
  • If i saw anyone being invited (in red), instead of joining (yellow/orange) i backed out using O.
  • We played the preps in a public session.
  • Setups and Heists were always played in a invite only session.
  • Whenever a mission failed for any reason we closed the game, as quickly as possible.
  • Should there be any issues we'd either wait for it to be resolved, or close the game.

it is ok to use trip skip and/or call lester to remove a wanted level...no effect on criminal mastermind...tested several times...debunked...not sure where these myths started...

 

trip skipping will actually save a couple hours of gameplay...highly recommended...note: do not trip skip if attempting elite challenges...voids them...

I think i called Lester once without consequences, but again we didn't want to take any risks. I mostly used methods posted here, not long after the heists went live. So i've just stuck with them.

haha, I know what you mean...it's almost like superstition...if someone said "eat 5 bananas to ensure progress doesn't reset" I would've ordered a boatload of bananas for my crew and I...it's important to test these kinds of things too though before accepting them as fact...i'm saying I've tested it so you can blame me if it resets...haha...I swear I must've hit every possible progress reset combo...the last one we had was just a mystery though...i'm emphasizing that I've tested it in this case cuz it's a huge timesaver and not relevant to progress resetting...

haha, and i just got word back from r* support on the latest development...here's a quick recap of their replies...in my first message i mention having issues with progress randomly resetting:

 

"Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support.

We have no confirmed reports of issues with Heist mission payouts or progression. Progression will be reset if the player launches a mission without the same team members, changes the difficulty of the Heist after the initial launch, or loses connection to GTA Online during a mission. We can still try to help you with this by requesting the following:

  1. Date/Time you encountered the issue
  2. A screenshot of your Doomsday Heist Awards [Stats > Awards > Doomsday Heists tab in the Pause Menu] or Heist Awards [Stats>Awards>Heists tab in the Pause Menu]

While it is also beneficial if you have video of the issue you encountered, we will be able to continue investigating with just the information above.

If you have any other questions, please let us know."

 

i then submitted video evidence, screenshots of the progress in the awards menu, as well as including date and approximate hour of each...here's their response...

 

"We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. Your case has been escalated to the proper department for further review. Please note, cases are addressed in the order they are received. We appreciate your patience."

 

and now the response from tier 2 support...

 

"We have examined your account and we see that you have not completed Heist successfully meeting all required criteria to receive the Bonus. Hence, we are not able to verify this claim.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused to you in this regard."

 

now before anyone tosses their pitchfork at the dev here let me say that this is pretty much what i expected their response to be...i'm actually big in the business world in real life myself...my goal wasn't really to get a clear answer from them but instead to let them know that there is an issue with their product...it's easy to brush off individuals like they did with me here but if enough people complain, they will definitely be looking to solve this even if they never publically acknowledge that there was even a problem to begin with...it's a pretty common business practice...it's better than admitting they released a product that was flawed and that they have no idea how to fix it...

 

my advice to all those who have progress resets would be to please submit your tickets to rockstar support but don't expect them to solve your problem directly or to receive an email with a brilliant solution...i guarantee that, for the time being, the advice in this thread will serve you more use than what they will have to say on this topic...yes, it would be ideal if all devs took the time to look into all claims properly and fix them but i think in this day and age it's an unrealistic expectation...if 500 000 people own a game and 300 people are facing issues, the odds of them prioritizing the situation or spending any time on it is minimal to nonexistent...

 

so, let's be happy we've found a solution here, keep submitting our evidence when bugs occur, and see what happens in the upcoming weeks/months...on the bright side, the criminal mastermind challenges are in fact achievable while taking a few extra precautions and this is one fun bada$$ free dlc...i really don't have much else to contribute to the topic here so good luck to all and remember to have fun...cheers...

 

p.s. I'm guessing r* currently has bigger problems than a handful of us getting random progress resets...likely they're working on a patch/fix for this exploit...and yes, it actually works...i know many people who took advantage of it already...kind of old news now...yes, it gives you a $hit tonne of free multiplayer money...and no, there are no hacks involved...

Are you sure you looked at the correct award and not the "Loyalty"-one? Anyway, you can not die, and the only difference between normal and hard is that you have are allowed one death on normal, so there is no point on playing on normal.

 

Trophy will pop once you have all three awards unlocked, yes.

The trophy states you must play on hard without dying. There are two other awards you can earn at the same time so I think you are confusing one of them with Criminal Mastermind.

FYI I completed Criminal Mastermind IV and I confirm that you can fail a setup mission for various reasons such as fail an objective, destroy a vehicle, time expired, etc., and then use the quick restart option, as long as you don't die. This does not compromise the challenge progress.

I have just earned the "Masterminds" trophy.

Today, my group and I encountered a glitch (?) in terms of progress resetting concerning Criminal Mastermind III.

 

We were playing the mission in which you have to escort Agent ULP while he is sitting in his helicopter.

One of our members driving a Kuruma died due to an explosion, we closed the game immediately.

Having checked our challenge progress afterwards, we realized that his progress has been reset while my other team member and I still had x/29 missions completed.

We have completed the heist finale and only the person who died did not complete Criminal Mastermind III.

 

Therefore, it seems that the progress tracker can sometimes be a bit off.

Basically, we have not been able to fulfill the requirement of nobody dying which is why it seems that we had a fair share of luck with this.

 

Best of success to you with this trophy!

 

Greetings from Germany :)

I think what you're doing wrong is you're playing all the prep missions and then start setup 1.

Me and my friends do these in order 

Prep >> Setup

Prep >> Setup 

Each one in order to play it safe not once did the CM reset thats the best i can offer.

 

All the best.

 

That's not true. And that is the worst way to do it because then you need to keep switching from a public lobby to an invite only lobby after each mission.
