Ok, first off, I know there is another thread almost identical to this one, but I ran a few searches (a few being around 10) and couldn't find it.  So I apologize in advance, knowing this has already been brought up, but I'm having a problem I'd like to see get resolved.

I received my Crew Specialist Ribbon today after many hours of frustration trying to get it.  However, when I look in my BFHQ, it will not show in my awards section...it only shows in my Recent Awards section.  It is also not showing up on BF2S.

So...if anyone has any idea what the deal is...help would be appreciated.

Edit: ok weird.  bf2s updated a few minutes ago and it didn't show up.  now i just looked again...without it updating...and now it shows up.

yeah, but the ribbons and badges are a lot of the reason why i play the game.  every time i play, i have something to aim for.  before today i had been going for helo specialist and crew specialist...i finally got both of them...or so i thought.  now, my next goals are to get expert spec ops, expert spec ops specialist, expert command, and rank up to sergeant major.  it's just annoying when something i've worked for, then been awarded, doesn't show properly.

haha thanks.  i just got WCR recently after working on it for almost two months straight.  expert knife and explosives were pretty tricky, but now that i got them, they really don't seem that difficult.

i haven't tried to get it again yet, just because it took so long to get in the first place.  for some reason i can never seem to get a driver special ability point in the same round i get 20 driver kill assists.  i might try again later tonight, but i'd rather it just work and be awarded to me now.

youre right.  now its showing up for some reason.  i updated like 10-20 minutes ago and it didnt show.  now im looking again, and its showing without updating...?  wtf.

I have the same problem, i received aviator and legion of merit ribbon , and they show up in the uppersection
but not where they should be in the ribbons section(under)

i think that there is only room for 20 ribbons (including sf ribbons) so when you receive nr 21 it does not fit , though you have earned it (as you can see in bf2s and bf2hq in the last received awards section)

So this is a BUG

I noticed that the high-score players have the same problem.

(ps i wanted to add a screenshot , but i dont know how?)

Did you even read my question???
This is not an answer.
There is a BUG in this game, every body who has earned more than 20 ribbons has the same problem, because there is no more room for more ribbons.
look at the attached screenshot.
you see that i earned aviator and legion of merit.

thanks in advance

Hello

I Think you know by now that there is a bug in bf2 sf , that there is only room for ,i think , 20 ribbons in bfhq.
I have 22 ribbons total (5 are sf) and its not showing the last 2 ribbons in the section below,where they should be, though it says that i earned it. there are a lot of people who have the same problem.

On the attached sreenshot you see in the uppersection that i earned aviator and the legion of merit ribbon, but they dont show in the under section

hope you fix it

thanks Chielxxx (p.i.d. 38666179)

I had an issue with ribbons; i earned 47 teampoints in a round and didn't got the Valorous Unit Ribbon witch require 25 h as Squad leader and squad member + 45 teampoints iar... so is it UBAR wrong ( need x min of play iar) or is it because i was on a SF map? I heard that you can earn awards from BF2 on BF2 SF...so shouldn't be the problem.

If you got the answer, please tell me!

+0|6906|Eibergen
Did you earn those point yourself or your team? because you have to have them yourself.
and yes it can be earned in sf.

but thats not this topic , this is about bf ,not showing al the earned ribbons in battlefield headquarters, if you have received more than 20 ribbons, although it shows them in bf2s

Its kinda related 'cause i should have got my ribbon and didn't got it.

But i got it finally. the difference this time i was Squad leader with 47 teampoints i got it on Mass Destruction.

So i think it could be 45 teamwork points as Squad leader.

It shows when I earned the crew specialist ribbon in BFHQ, and it shows up in BF2S. It does not show up in the ribbons box in BF2:SF. Glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem, but I'm not really worried about it.

I have the same problem.
I earned 25 ribbons but only 20 are showing up in the BFHQ ribbon box.
The other 5 are visible in the "last earned awards" section though.

Does anyone know if EA is going to fix this bug in the next patch?

Yup this pisses me off. Same thing for me,  I only need the SEAL and MEC SF ribbons and I have all of them,  but in game only 4 show up.  They all show up in the "recent awards" thing up top but thats it.

Hell-o, guys!
I have the exact same problem with the SF ribbons. Not all the SF ribbons I have show up in the award section at the bottom of the BFHQ, but they do show up in "recent awards" and on all sites like bf2s, so I have received them, in any case, and that's what matters.
The 2 ribbons for me that are in thr recent awards only are - Insurgents and Crew specialist.
Not to mention that I got the Insurgents ribbon after 55 hours time not 50 hours!!!! Yet another bug - but at least I finally got that ribbon last night.
I will post screeens tomorrow.

yeah, i replied to that other thread you had about this in the bf2 board.  it seems like there is also a time IAR requirement for certain ribbons.  (ex:  the armor ribbon requires 20 min IAR)  I just got my MEC SF ribbon after an hour long devil's perch round...
