Achievement bug (Spoilers)

[Moni]

I finished today my first playthough of the game, I did everything including Marie and Izanami's dungeon. And when I went to check what achievements were left I realized that the achievement Return of the Angels was missing. That's the achievement from rescuing Nanako which I obviously did.

So why didn't it triggered when I did that? I'm planning to do a New Game + eventually but I'm very mad that I'm missing a story achievement and I don't even know why that happened.

UPDATE: The cause it seems is that I was offline when I did that boss. I was without internet because of a storm and I decided to play while I was waiting for it to go away. I didn't know that if I was offline this kind of problem could happen. So if anyone read this, make sure to be online when you play the game, especially important parts of the story.

well that's certainly odd... the achievement should unlock when the cutscene parts of that rescue finsh, if you're going for ng+ you should get it anyway, maybe have a backup save just in case

Were you connected to Steam when you completed that achievement? If not, the game cannot report to Steam the completion.

Some games will remember that it still needs to report back to Steam the completion, but this is on the developer to do, not Steam, as Steam has no way of knowing.

Yeah, I'll pay attention during NG+ so that I get it, but it's pretty weird because I got all the other story achievements.

I should have, I always have it connected. If that can happen then it could be that for whatever reason I wasn't connected when I did it. If that's the case I'll be sure to be connected next time, thanks.

It could be you lost connection for a bit during that point and didn't notice. I've had that happen for some other games, and seen that happen for other people before as well. Not a lot you can do if it does happen :(

Yeah, maybe that was it. It really sucks. I didn't know about it because this is the first time it's happened. I'll pay attention when I play that again. It's frustrating because I'm going for all the achievements and I worked very hard to do all the Social Links and Compendium and I'm missing one of the easier achievements...

UPDATE: I went to check in my messages with a friend of mine who I was chatting about the game as I played it, and yes, it turns out I did that boss when I was offline because there was a storm at that moment. I didn't know that this could happened so I just played while the storm was going on.

Yeah, that sucks. As a software developer, I know there are ways they can get around network outages like this by noting that the network is down and putting the traffic into a queue, and when the connection is restored transmitting everything in the queue one by one until it's done, but they didn't do this.

There's a lot they could have done to improve the network stability of this. I think most of the freezing issues people get are due to network problems as well, specifically due to packet loss, and the game handling that poorly. It's just sitting there waiting for a response that will never come.

I hope they eventually fix this.

Yeah. But thanks a lot, at least I know the problem now so that it doesn't happen again.

It happened to me when I rescued Rise...but I think that I saw it unlocking for sure, but yesterday I check the pending achievements and I don´t have it, when I am in the dungeon before the last one...that day my internet was failing, so I imagine that it´s the cause too, and it did not syncronize. Good thing that you need a 2nd playthrough to achieve the 100%...but it´s a little, but it´s a bit of a hassle,although the game is great.

Hate to bring it back up but this happened to me today with Return of the Angels. The only explanation is me being ''Invisible'' on Steam but that doesn't sound like a good reason. Everything else on my side was fine.

I don't think the steam status was the issue but I've been playing on ''Invisible'' since forever and never had a problem so I just think it's a bug.
