Achievements Locked?
Started a regular playthrough and suddenly the achievements got locked for no reason? No cheats, no mods, started FRESH from the begining after the update and half way through game completion, I get the "Game statistics are abnormal, Achievements have been disabled for this save!" Like...what is this? I hope it is a bug...

I got "current player is inconsistent with current save creator" or sth like that. I've been playing for 40+ hours already in vanilla game. Bummer :(

Same, save is fixed! Nice! Back to the long haul!

Still not working for me after hotfix :(

Just happened to me for some reason.

2 days ago I was able to get some achievements - both locally and on Steam - and today suddenly my game statistic are abnormal so achievements are disabled...

Kinda fresh game - around 30 hours - without any mod.
Any way to fix it 'cause I don't really see myself starting up again...

Mine just suddenly got fixed with an update. If you cheat in items and such, it will lock achievements, unsure about mods tho.

the same for me on a new game of 60 hours "Game statistics are abnormal, Achievements have been disabled for this save" all this time lost is a little annoying, for it is already painful to do.

x0.5 Resource completion
Complete the game on x0.5 resource difficulty.

Solar Sail? No thank you!
Complete the game without launching a Solar Sail.

Environmentalist
Complete the game without using Foundations.

If I have been cheating I wouldn't expect nothing else. However especially playing without mods to be able to get them and suddenly they got locked is not fun at all...

I noticed that if I revert 10 hours to one of the old savefiles everything is fine and all that I have been doing these couple of hours is stamping some blueprints - perhaps some of them were old and broke the achievements? I remember reading some patch notes that blueprints could corrupt data.


//Edit
No idea what is happening. I restarted the game and loaded one of the old saves - got achievement "Intergalactic logistics". I decided to load one of the newer saves and got some more: "Slip 'n' Slide", "Sail away with me", "Nice surprise 4".
After closing back to Main Menu I got another one - "Like a diamond in the sky". Then loading whatever savefile - abnormal game statistics...

So my suspicion is that problem with abnormal statistics is more related to the game itself than to savefile. But can be wrong. Strange things happening on my end...

//Edit 2
Pfff... Closing and opening the game again resulted in the same problem as before. Best thing is nothing changed in my game between these 3 sessions. Looks like major screw up from the dev team.

Yeah this is still happening. Fresh game I started last week. I just got AM fuel rods and was expecting to get my achievement for 16 fuels burned but it didn't pop up. Go check the stats panel and has the abnormal data error. No mods or cheats. Putting this one back on the shelf until they sort this out fully.

Yeah, they really need to get rid of the abnormal statistics stuff, because it clearly does not work with legitimate saves.

Same problem after 40 hrs of No cheat, no Mod save, was normal and get couple of achievements... wtf...:steammocking:

I am 70 hrs in without cheat and the game suddenly locked my achievement. There are already several threads about this absurd achievement lock but no respond yet from dev?
I joined DSP discord server and the achievement lock problem was ignored too.

Plus it's not like there was some important leaderboard or something

It's Steam achievements. Some people use SAM to unlock stuff or play with walkthrough/guides

It's maybe the first time I see devs wanting to cop that

And I was telling my friends that for once I play the game without even reading the achievement. I even put a great review

Now I'm a bit outraged this is kinda rude

I hope this is a mistake but yeah I hate that silence too

Has this autolock anticheat where there is none been introduced in a changelock or something ?

I had the same problem, but it was lifted in the last update.
What about you?
Shinomiya/Arleth Oct 29, 2021 @ 5:42am 
The 29 october patch log doesn't mention anything about achievement bug but my problem is fixed somehow. Finally...
G Oct 29, 2021 @ 9:19am 
I hate to feel that sometimes things start happening when you start to complain x)

Anyway thanks for fixing it guys <3
