No Achievement Progress
Hello folks,
I have finished the game today with all stars but according to my achievement list I have made no progress at all. I also reset all levels after finishing and started again to see if that triggers anything, but nothing. The first achievement still claims I have 0 out of 100 items tidied.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Or any wild guesses what I attempt do to fix this?

Cheers,
shark

Thanks to Max Inferno's amazing support I managed to get my achievements to work. The solution was to enforce usage of Proton 7.0.6 instead of Proton Experimental.

Usually I know games to run not at all when the Proton version doesn't work with them, but apparently in this case it only broke the initialization for the Steam API that handles the game hooks for achievements. Wouldn't have figured that one out for months to come.

Thank you Max Inferno and happy tidying to everyone else!

Hi there, sorry to hear that your achievements aren't working! Are none of the achievements unlocking for you at all? That makes it sound like perhaps Steam is not communicating properly with your installation. Do you mind sending us your Player.log file? That may contain a hint as to what's going on.

If you could play a little, try completing a level or a Daily Tidy, then send us your Player.log to support@maxinferno.com, that would be helpful. Here's some info on how to locate the Player.log file:

* Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\maxinferno\A Little To The Left\Player.log (the AppData folder may be hidden; to reveal it follow the guidance on this page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/view-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-97fbc472-c603-9d90-91d0-1166d1d9f4b5 )

* MacOS: Open up Finder app, and go to the "Go" option in the top menu, then "Go To Folder", and paste in the following: ~/Library/Logs/maxinferno/A Little To The Left/Player.log

Hello maxinferno,

Thank you for getting back to me. I do in fact get no achievements at all. I sent the player log to the support address you provided along with some system information. If you need any more information, let me know.

Also in case someone else stumbles across this in the future with a similar setup: The player.log on Linux is located at .steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1629520/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/maxinferno/A Little To The Left/Player.log

Thank you maxinferno and thanks for making this awesome game!

Thanks for sending along your Log files! We have responded and will continue to provide you support via email.

For those who stumble across the thread, the system config in question is Debian Linux (Trixie) via Proton Experimental.

If we're able to find a resolution, I will be sure to update the thread with details.
A developer of this app has indicated that this post answers the original topic.
