Has anybody encountered a glitch where they don't receive achievements for finishing every mission with a bronze/silver/gold medal?

Finished with all Golds last night.
I believe that VOLCANO is best done solo - many less enemies to deal with.
My setup: the mech with 6 slots & fast legs, 3 purple skyth machine guns, 1 purple pancake artillery gun, level 3 slowdown emplacements, & advanced flak turrets.
Put the flack turrets on each side of the defense tower, and keep throwing out the emplacements that slow down enemy advances. You should have no problem with the above loadout.
Thing about Trenched is, the levels are always the same - there's no randomness to the waves of enemy attacks.

All of us had some sort of explosive (grenade launcher or artillery) and machine guns for the bugs. I like the grenade launcher with the shock and magnetism. I think it slows them down and homes in a little.
We set up massive machine guns for the flyers on the north and south ends.We also positioned ourselves two on each side. like Rygar said.
The eastern long entrance we set up the gathering turrets. Each time they came out that entrance one of us would just throw explosives and just shoot down that passage.
Just outside the walls we set up two massive shotguns to take care of those worms.
For the guys with the shells on we equipped artillery and grenades and mowed them down with machine guns.
Big guys come out like Willy help out when you can.
Upgrade the machine guns. Take care of the flyers as soon as possible
That's all I can think of. Sorry if my writing is confusing.

Nice man!
I've been going back to get the medals I missed the first time playing with one other person and it seems a lot easier. I'm sure some of that is the much better weapons and emplacements though.
And I can't believe I didn't use the broadcaster at all my first time through. They are fun as hell, especially the level 10 one.

I like the level 10 broadcaster too. The chain reaction from exploding one tube and then the next is so fun! It's so good against those knobs.
Just need to finish the scrap collection challenge. I never realized how little scrap I got from multiplayer games. People need to stop hogging it all

I just got the weirdest error, when trying to boot the game, it says that there is a read disc error...

Played two quick rounds this morning and got two achievements. Going to be playing more with my friend here in a minute. Definitely getting my value from this game. I've been contemplating buying Psychonauts on Xbox Originals for a while. Playing this gem from Double Fine may be what pushes me over the edge and finally makes me buy it.

I never had any framerate issues and certainly no pausing. Not sure what's going on with S1kkz's game.

So glad I followed your advice and tunneled in using a US account. What a fucking awesome game. So very, very satisfying and an amazing co-op game.

I'm a bit of a ways into this and enjoying it immensely so far, but I got a quick question.
Love the speed upgrade of the engineer chassis, but would like one that has a double/single hardpoint loadout. The only ones I have access to are either one double or two singles.
I'm using the one with the single double-hardpoint right now and doing pretty well for myself but I think with one further single hardpoint on the opposite side I'd be in heaven. Does such a thing become available eventually?

Yeah, mine runs fine solo. I only get pauses in co-op when a message comes up that I'm "Waiting for so and so," but that is probably partially due to our awful interwebs.
I just got my
Psychonauts suit
I was hoping to unlock something by completing them all but no dice.
Now I just need to Silver and Gold Volcano and Farnsworth and I'll be good. I'm still really enjoying this game quite a bit. Best $15 I've spent in a while.

Nope, the Selker and Honeychurch are the only engineering chassis. Maybe give one of the standard chassis a go if you want more weapon slots?ColonelSkills said:

Not a single instance of slow down. Are you talking multiplayer?

Only gold I have left to get is Vlad. Any tips? Trying it with two people. What's the general strategy? Seems like most of the time spent is just us waiting for the red sacs to emerge in phase 3.

Yeah. I read one guide for it that says if you miss a shot, you're pretty much screwed. When we tried it with two people, we both had sniper rifles but not the Gunginr, and our best time was 40 seconds passed Gold.
The Thursday Night Throwdown is really cool just for them mucking around by trying to cram as many Double Fine people onscreen as possible
I can vouch for the single player frame rate/stuttering issues also. It was dreadful in the last level I was playing this afternoon, reminded me of the days I was playing UT in software mode with 64mb of RAM and the pagefile would get flogged after awhile!
As others have noted, it's not during intensive gameplay sequences or anything, so seems to be more a bug than anything else. About to cook dinner now, I'll see if it persists afterwards (maybe a cache/memory leak related?)
Aside from that, the game is wonderful. It's the first time I've turned the xboxen on for months. If it wasn't for the hype in this thread, I'd have never picked it up so thanks guys! My GT is my GAF username so add me and hit me up if you so desire.
