Here's another I found it on reddit and felt like sharing as it's the first one to work for me since Friday.
As others have mentioned, the progress on these tasks for say your Sparkplug or your other type of archetype not getting recorded seems tied to this horrid loadout system. I've had it working for hours and then seemingly randomly stop recording hits and at bats.
I've found a successful method to magically get it working again. I've used it at least three times now after progression stopped recording.
-
Retrun to the main menu (outside of DD or RTTS) select your player icon in the top left corner
-
create a new loadout; you don't have to modify or change anything on this new loadout, I leave it as the default loadout name activate that loadout with the activate button back out to the main menu
-
go back into your player, switch back to the original loadout you want to work on and activate it
-
(optional) delete the non-activated new loadout you created. You don't have to do this but it prevents you from selecting the wrong loadout in-between games and causing you to have the bug occur again
It's horrible to have to resort to a weird work-around like this, but this loadout-progression bug is infuriating. TBH I can't believe this bug made it through QA testing. Even more unbelievable is they haven't fixed this with a patch yet.
Hope this works for some people whose main enjoyment from the game is RTTS (like myself) and helps you get those upgraded archetypes with the better stats!
Good luck everyone!
