Yes it seems they relied on being able to connect to the online social services, which they shut down today.
No idea if they will fix these to work properly without them, as EA doesn't have a great track record on fixing their steam achievements.

I unlocked an achievement today so it seems not everything is broken. But I didn't get the achievement for completing 10 runs for example so it seems a lot of achievements are indeed broken.

The servers went down late in the day. Perhaps you unlocked it before then?

I unlocked it 5 minutes past 12 (so aprox. 12 hours ago) I couldn't connect to the online servers while playing, but maybe something was online?

A delayed unlocking perhaps

It's true, I just unlocked Run Free. it took 5 minutes for it unlock. I know it's legitimate because I unlocked it on EA app as well. So, some achievements don't require server side connection? This is a total mess.

The achievements I got before the server was shut down were unlocked via EA App.

After the server went down I got the Origin working after following a guide on how to enable it and the achievements just started unlocking during gameplay, but only one at the time. Each new session I played unlocked a new random achievement. For example: I got With Bells On before story related ones.

Using this method, I got all of the achievements except these:

Belle of the Ball
Easy Runner
Georges' Garrison
Seb's Salute
Tenacious Traceur
Veteran Runner

I did those also, got the Runner kit notification for each, but the achievements didn't unlocked yet.

This is huge. I thought about doing this. I wish I did instead of the worse alternative.

Do you know if the achievements also retroactively tick on the EA app? It's just for credibility sake on my part.

Mind sharing how you made it work with Origin?

Yeah, they are visible in the EA App also since they are tied to your EA account.

I used this guide:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2948118653

I think you need the version.dll to make it work and if I recall correctly that dll file is not included in the guide. I will try to find the link to download it and post it here.

Oh yeah I already am on Origin I'm asking if you needed to do anything to make achievements work because I tried Hey, it's-a-me again! and Undetected Surge, got the in-game challenge but no achievements (tho it could also be bugged in general but I'm convinced I did it on my first playthrough and it didn't unlock but maybe I didn't since I just got the challenge).
I'm on a newer version than the guide (Version 10.5.122.52971 - 773867) but I doubt that changes anything as they only change their EA Desktop ads.
Also got mouse input delay on Catalyst but disabling overlay doesn't help so that's great too (always did, not a server shut down related issue but still).

Some of them just unlocked randomly about 5 to 10 minutes in the game, but that was rarely happening. The way I did it was to start any diversion mission and let the time run out so when I start the mission again a random achievement that I earned earlier is unlocked. New achievements will not unlock after that, so I just closed the game and Origin and started again. Did the same thing over and over and most of the time some achievement was unlocked. Sometimes it does not work, but that is how I got them. I am not sure what triggers them.

What about new achievements? Did you earn any that weren't retroactive? I am not that far in my playthrough and I want to know I should complete the game and get all runner kits before trying the Origin method or I can run it through origin now and earn achievements normally.

Edit: Also what diversion mission did you use? I just wanna make sure I don't complete it for later use.

Every single new achievement I earned after the servers went down was retroactive. I just kept playing the game, doing side missions, the rest of the collectibles, etc. and it just unlocked at some point. You can see the time for each achievement on my profile.

The last achievement I got while the servers were still active was Building blocks. After that, all of the rest were just random.


As for the diversion mission, I used the one called Black November Supplies, but I don't think it matters. I got one or two to unlock with some simple delivery mission.


Here are the screenshots of my achievements:

As mentioned, you can see the Steam ones on my profile.
