Popular Post cxool123 Posted July 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) This is gonna be probably long, but I can finally confirm a method that works when game cooperates. The only thing that can ruin your run is the game crashing. Let's get into details. This works on 1.12 (the latest update), witht he digital version (downloaded for free with Ps+ a few months ago). "Glitched Trophies" list obtainable with this method Cash in Hand (having 150k$) Baby, You're a Rich Man (earn 500k$) Family (Loyal state with three bosses) Hole in Your Pocket (Spending 500k$) The New Boss (flip 16 racket bosses) No Loose Ends (Kill all racket bosses) Wrecker (10 vehicles takedowns) Combat Specialist (300 kill via takedown) Shh, shh (100 stealth takedowns) Closed Casket (50 brutal takedowns) Flambé (10 kill with ennemie dropping their molotov) Why are they glitched? From other topics, forums and my own experience with the game (I'm on my 7th playtrough), It seems that trophies using a internal counter on the save doesnt work properly, and it resets everytime the game is left. For exemple, if you earn 300k$, leave the game, and earn another 200k$, the game thinks you only earned 200k$, because the first 300k$ got reset. This being said, all the trophies glitched have a counter of some sort. How to "fix" the problem - what you can do and not do Ok, we all know the game crash whenever it wants. The easy solution is to have Ps Now. I cannot confirm this by my own, but apparently streaming the game doesnt glitch the trophies: therefore you can leave the game at anypoint. This does not work anymore as the streamed version recently got updated. The other way you can earn those trophies is by doing the whole playthrough in one sitting. Yes one sitting, but hold up; let me explain. By leaving the game to the main menu/exiting the app/shuting down the ps4, the counter will be reset. The way you can survive this is by pausing the game, and putting the ps4 on sleep mode. This way, the counter are still active in the memory, and won't reset. Make sure to, before starting a new game: close the game, disconnect the internet (apparently this helps), delete all previous save files of Mafia III, and then start your run. Once you reach the objective of the trophy in that game session, the trophy will pop. If it doesnt (looking at you Flambé and Wrecker), keep doing some more. They will be unlocked. Also, reloading a checkpoint is permitted. Killing yourself does the same tricks. I skipped all cutscenes in my run. Notable glitches + infos I havent got any of these, but I think it'd be great if it is here. Theres the glitch about southdown, if you give it to Burke, the diary say you gave it to Vito, and vice-versa. This doesnt matter for the trophies (more info in the next section about Family). Once you get the Gambling racket, the game crash for some people. Leave this racket for last (make sure to have every other trophies - except Family (more to come) - in case it does crash). For the first Burke Racket: Point Verdun, just before the car arriving cinematic, reload the checkpoint. This seems to work and avoid the crash (confirmation needed here). Another one, when done with the money objective of a racket, you have to go talk to the person giving you info. If the game doesnt let you continue (doesn't ask you if you want to proceed, like nothing happens), reload the checkpoint. Finally, the mini map bug can be fixed sometimes when dying or reloading the checkpoint. Just a minor incovinience. Tips for Flambé, Wrecker, Family and Money trophies Flambé: Right after killing Baka (haitian, beginning of the game), ennemies will start thowing molotov. Perfect occasion to grind here. After 2 or 3 kills or halway through reaching the getaway car, reload the checkpoint and restart until you get it Wrecker: once you have the ability to spawn cars, spawn the armored police car. Start a police chase in the bridge (easier), Press L1 to toggle to tyres, and shoot them police tyres until they flip. Spam this until you get it Cash in Hand, Baby, You're a Rich Man, Hole in Your Pocket: Once the French Ward unlocked, talk to Jim McCormick to start the drug racket. Go talk to the informant beside the church. He should tell you about a warehouse. Once done, you should be able to see ennemies cars and the ability to follow/kill them. Now the money glitch is exploitable: https://youtu.be/4pi4RkZSMqs Go to that location and do as the video says. It's still useable, as I did it on July 25th with the latest update. Beware, to not die or to end the mission (by talking again to Jim McCormick when the Damage is done), as the money will stop spawning. Once at 500k$, spend everything in one go, so you are sure to get the trophy. Family: Finally, make sure to give both racket to the associate that will earn the district. And give it after giving one to the other two. I recommand this order: Cassandra, Vito, Burke. Doesnt matther which districts you do before which, and which one you go to who (even if the diary bugs for Southdown, as I gave it to Burke and it said it was Vito's. It didn't change anything). Once you give 3 districts to everybody, and only then, this is only time you can start doing secondary missions. 5 each. Gotta do them all on "one sitting". My game crashed between once finishing Flipping (New Boss) and just before giving my last district to Burke. I continued playing and I actually got Family. My point is, You need to give everybody 3 districts, no matter if the game crash (unless you want to do others trophies..), and then do all secondary missions in one go. TL;DR Disconnect internet, delete save files, play the game without leaving the game. Reloading a checkpoint and putting the ps4 on sleep mode is permitted. Family requires to give 3 districts to everyone, and then do all secondary missions in one go (or leaving by putting the PS4 on sleep mode). Most bugs can be fixed while reloading a checkpoint. If the Game crash, every stats reset to zero, so the racket related trophies are over and you have to restart a run. Big thanks to everybody that contributed on the other topics and forums. I did my possible to bring everything in one post. It took me 7 playthrough to finally get them trophies. No Loose End is my last one for the platinum. Keep it up guys, with a bit of luck the Plat is obtainable. Edit: Just got the platinum. It's doable with some willpower and a bit of luck.

Hakan95_ Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 @cxool123 Hey buddy, did you get bugged trophies with digital or disc version? and you played offline without updating or with a latest update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djb5f Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I am holding out hope for a patch but thanks for sharing the workaround. I am thinking they are tied up with Mafia I, buy will come back to fix it (again) once they free up - or at least that is what I am hoping....

Sim_Racer_97 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 @cxool123 Thx a lot for your information regarding the bugged trophies. Unfortunately I also missed many of the trophies you have written in your first post due to bugs. Then I decided to do it in one session (of course ps4 in sleep mode over night) and see there ... all trophies came without problems. Unfortunately my game crashed the first time I wanted to play the hole game in one session (I had 13 out of 16 bosses ) but the second time my game didn't crash so far (I have all 16 bosses, just Family Trophy is missing). I hope my third one-session playthrough (kill every boss) will also work without a game crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy_Oglop Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I had some trouble with the takedown trophies, but ended up grinding out 300 takedowns in one sitting which resolved it. Absolutely not ideal at all though and i'm on Patch 1.12 too. The one i'm having an issue with now is the 'Baby, your a rich man' trophy. I had well over 500k in my stash and nothing popped. I'm not completely sure whether it's a general tracking issue, or if it has something to do with the fact that the last 100k i pretty much exclusively deposited into the car you can call up. Flambe has completely bugged too, but i'm gonna do that farming method at the beginning of the game that PowerPyx recommends. I'm seriously debating on whether to just drop this game right now though. If I can only just get that 500k and provided the racket boss trophy doesn't fail on me, it should all be doable. If I get to the end of this first playthrough and I don't get the 500k trophy and the racket boss trophies, i'll just shelve it permanently i think. Shame really, this game was pretty good imo and I would have loved to have a 100% + platinum with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdavid89 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Well look, I had planned to continue with Mafia III after a while, but seeing all the problems you are having with the trophies I am backing out. I find it incredible that 2k has released the final edition of the game full of bugs and that they do not fix it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauer101 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Flambé glitched on me so what I did was switch of my internet on the PlayStation main menu, then started a new save file and farmed the flambé kills at the first mission that introduced molotovs. I may be wrong about why this works but it may have something to do with the 2k account that logs you in when you start the game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster92BG Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Any tips how to avoid crashing the game? Tried 3 times to complete the game in one sitting, but the game always crash near the end of the game, bruh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried 3 times to complete the game in one sitting, but the game always crash near the end of the game, bruh. It seems like playing offline is helpful from what some people have posted in the past. It might be 2K's crappy connectivity that is contributing to how trophy progress is tracked. I think for the 500k trophy, i'm going to try getting 500k in one sitting using an infinite money exploit which I found on YouTube. Using an exploit which manipulates a glitch to fix another glitch pretty much sums up how janky 2K infrastructure is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Play3GianniGreed Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) I think I will wait a patch, hopefully they will make it. I bought the game months ago, with all the DLC (I payed for them) without knowing all the issues with the trophies. I don't care that much about the platinum, but I keep reading of bugs and crash, and that makes me to stay away from the game.

sk_lp_him Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Damn, when I played it I didn't encounter any glitches or bugs. Are those introduced in some newer updated version? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdavid89 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) 2k know about these trophy problems? In case of leaving it without starting or for later. Edited August 14, 2020 by sirdavid89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy_Oglop Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Finally got the earn 500k and spend 500k trophies. The only way i could get it to work was to do it in one sitting, using the video exploit mentioned in the OP. That's a load off my shoulders, not here's hoping the Family trophy doesn't bug out on me On 14/08/2020 at 5:45 PM, sirdavid89 said: 2k know about these trophy problems? In case of leaving it without starting or for later. I think they are aware of them yeah, but I also think they got their priorities on the full remake of Mafia. I'd assume they fix it later on, but it might not be something fixable by the looks of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy_Oglop Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Aaaand i'm out. Family and The New Boss both glitched right at the end. Just deleted the whole thing from my system. I'll probably come back to it somewhere down the line when Hangar 13/2K can sort their actual shit out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahman042 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Weirld the only 2 trophy i didnt get were the new boss and No loose ends Might try this later Also 2 trophies didnt accumulate for me The guide need an edit or im just have a bad luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JABing Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Yeah, its pretty infuriating. I also cannot obtain any of the takedown trophies (although I have far more kills for all of them than is required for the trophy). Also cannot get the money trophy, wrecker, or flambe. I got the first side mission trophy, so I am crossing my fingers that Family will pop - but who knows. I will do my second playthrough to do all kills (instead of flipping) and try to do some of these things in one sitting (haven't tried that yet). Just...ugh.

hittheroadbucky Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I didn’t realise just how many trophies were bugged ? I knew that the ending trophies were but this is insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misbik Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Just out of curiosity, were these glitches only recently introduced with patches? I guess my question is....would I be better off going out and obtaining a physical copy of the game, non Definitive Edition, that is presumably on v1.0, and playing that version un-patched? Would that prevent this issue with the counters not working properly? Or has this existed ever since release? I see a good number of people got the platinum early on...

I just got the disc version and it crashed on the last 2, had 16/18. Loaded up game and killed the last 2 and No loose Ends didn’t pop. I currently kept my profile save, deleted game save and loaded up old save before Merle. I’m trying this right now and know in a few days if it pops.

JABing Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Everything was going well, was able to unlock all kill trophies and flambe, but game just crashed halfway through the story... so we will see if the rest goes as well.

Two times i tried to get No lose ends (in one sitting), but the game crash near the end, and continuing after that doesnt granted me the trophy!
