Default But I am there!!!!

Orders say patrol grid AM39, after reaching the area, still says uncompleted. Anyone else have this happen.

This thing is becoming addictive.

You need to patrol the area for 24 hours.

Have you patroled it for 24 hours straight? I seem to recall that some AM areas have the grid name off center also.

Usually it says both, first that I reached the grid and the next in the orders says that I have patrolled for 24 hrs. It finally said I reached the grid after I was chased around for about 3 hrs by a destroyer. Just a glitch I guess.

Thanks for the replies.

When you arrive in your search grid that order is complete then you patrol for 24 hours and then that one is complete. 9 times out of 10 I find nothing.

To get the "Reach patrol area" completion, you have to go into the zone several km. The gridlines on the map don't seem to correlate with programs expections.

Some grids wont register you as entered if your too close to the edge, this has happened to me on 2 occasions.
