Not Unlockable Map Elements

[Solruthis]

With the recent Map Expansion the Achievement "Pathfinder" is no longer available.

I found 3 Locations with questionable Map Elements:

Highway A6 - in the South of Vailladolid - see right next to the Arrow:

Highway A4 - see the red Dot at the left of the Highway

Town Bailen - see the Top of the Arrow - the locked Area is a Building

The Achievement "Pathfinder" should be removed entirely. All of the Map Expansions (except Scandinavia) have such "Problems", and the Rebuild of Germany has insert them aswell (as a Proof: have a look at Hamburg City).

Given that pathfinder will unlock with 40+ elements undiscovered, 2-3 with issues (that may be caused by your mod) won't prevent the achievement from popping.

"My Mod" don't causes this Issues. This Mod only changes the Colour of the Map Elements. This "Issues" are present in the unmodded Game aswell. And there are more than 20 of this Issues in summary of all of the Map Expansions (and rebuilded Parts of germany) - atleast. I found the reported 3 Issues without exploring the entire Area of Iberia (in fact - I found them during a single delivery). The probability that there are more Flaws of that kind is "very high". (Btw: Why the People always are saying "your Mod is causing the Issue", if they easely can check this in their own unmodded Game? Do they think the Guy that reports a Bug is dumb? That kind of arrogance is boring).

"Please" don't defend SCS for adding Bugs to their Game. Bugs needs to get fixed, no matter if they are huge or Gamebreaking - or just of that kind as told above. There is a lag of QA, and the amount of Flaws is increasing constantly. If you think this Issues aren't important, have a look at the Steam Hub, there are more than just 2 or 3 People reporting/complaining about the "Pathfinder" Achievement. That means: The Bugs of that kind are not just a Cosmetic thing. Another Point: The Map gets expanded again and again and again, the Point, where you can unlock the entire Map when starting the Game from Point 0 (in less than 1.000 hours of Gameplay) is way behind us. And it has become an impossible Task, since you have to search for hidden parts of the Map that can't be reached without damaging the Truck. If an Achievement has become an unobtainable Goal, it has to be removed. And "Pathfinder" has become such an Achievement.

Thank you for your answer, but: I hope SCS is looking in this Forum aswell ....

Edit:

Another Issue in the Northwest of Ameria (right behind the Position of the Truck)

As Madkine has already told you, you can get the Pathfinder achievement with thirty to forty prefabs or road pieces undiscovered, so please tone down the rhetoric. I don't doubt that there are impossible to discover pieces in Iberia, as there were in previous DLCs, as there are in the reworked area of Germany, but if they are reported properly - following the bug reporting process - then they will get fixed.

FWIW a couple of your examples might be discoverable (the ones in junctions) but not picked up simply by driving past. Those are aggravating but not necessarily bugs.

the Rebuild of Germany has insert them aswell (as a Proof: have a look at Hamburg City)

However, this statement leads me to wonder whether you do have mods that play into this because there are no undiscoverable pieces in Hamburg and indeed that area was not even touched by the latest part of the German rebuild. There are just four such pieces introduced in v1.40 in Germany, and three of them don't show up on the map so may not even count. The other has already been reported as a bug and a QA ticket raised: 1.40 Map UI Bug (Germany Highway) [154916]

to be more exact, pathfinder use rounded exploration value.
so whenever explored ratio is rounded to 100% you will get the achievement. as map is bigger and bigger this rounding residuum could also be proportionally bigger. so no, this issue does not prevent the achievement at all.

but it is still issue that should be taken care of.
could you report such places in bug report section, please (as madkine noted)?
