In Ps3 version of swapforce, both the Hidden Treasure and the Platinum Treasure chest show under the magic items. However, only the Hidden Treasure unlocked. When I add a Platinum Treasure chest to the portal it recognizes it as Hidden Treasure and doesn't unlock the Platinum Treasure chest magic item (still shows grayed out).

Is there anyway to unlock both?

Thanks,

Dan

The Platinum Treasure chest was not implemented into Swap Force as they both have the same ID.

I ran into this as well, not sure what gives there, but may haps they will be releasing a new platinum chest with an android battle grounds starter. This is PURE speculation on my part, there are no facts to back it up, just a thought I had in contemplating this issue.

There are 33 magic items listed so it appears they intended to make it unlockable since both are counted in the 33? I suppose a new release version would be possible?

Even activision themselves said its IMPOSSIBLE.

My .02: They better not make this mistake again. We as consumers have been trained to recognize a visual and name change as applicable to an in game differentiation. It's one of the reasons PEB is not doing well.

@GhostRoaster - Yet another reason this game should have been patchable post-launch.

This has nothing to do with a game patch, as it sounds like the RFID chip for the two pieces were exactly the same...the mistake was made when they created the chips. Now, assuming they created the chips correctly to start with...then perhaps yes we would need a game patch. Depends on what was done vs what should've been done.

They should make some sort of accessory and have the REAL Platinum Chest (Programmed correctly) with it as a bonus.

Kinda sucks for all of us who dropped 40$s on the battle grounds, ohwell at least the blue tooth portal and royal double trouble are awesome (and that extra jet vac for experiments >)

I was under the impression the item IDs contained within the chips were, in fact, different. Hence, why a software patch was (once again) in order. Doesn't change my opinion that given their time constraints and spreadloaded effort over multiple systems, that the game should have been patchable. I guess the Platinum Treasure Chest is just a fancy repaint.

So does a regular Treasure Chest unlock the same bonus goodies in Battlegrounds?

I don't understand why they can't release a new one or even just a card like the ufo hat with the proper coding the game is looking for.

Yes it does (I used my old Treasure Chest first to see if it worked back when the game first came out and the old one will unlock all the bonus content too.)

Thanks for the confirmation. I gave my Platinum Treasure Chest to my little bro. If I decide to give Battlegrounds a try, I'll make sure to use my Treasure Chest on day one!
