DLC Items missing/Achievments not unlocking *potential fix?*

[Jason]

For the first day my DLC items were in the game, when I came back the next day they disappeared. No achievements were unlocking the moment I started the game.
I tried:
-Re-installing the game 2 times
-Re-installing Origin (though it just made me update to EA Play to even start the game)
-Re-installing EA Play
-And lastly, I even unchecked the DLC/Re-checked the DLC.

In the end, the thing that FIXED BOTH on my main save was "Start A New Journey". I started a fresh save and my DLC items re-appeared in that save along with on my main save, and now I have been able to unlock achievements again. Thankfully this game does allow more than one save slot, but I kept a backup of my save just in case. I am not sure if this will help anyone else, but I felt it might be a good idea to share.

For achievements: Start EA play, log in and then boot the game from steam.

I tried this and it did not work. The ONLY thing that worked for me was starting a fresh save. now it unlocks achievements on both of my saves. My issue was literally that EA was not unlocking achievements so Steam was not unlocking either. I meant to have this in the original post, but I honestly forgot that because I keep EA running passively in the background anyway.

You can also disable the firewall in the Windows Security, start the game, and then renable the firewall with an alt-tab.

So, I forgot this in the post to since I did not think anything of it, but i completely moved my save folder out of the folder, basically the game acted as though it was deleted and just re-downloaded it. I am thinking that doing this is what got it working. Try that and maybe it will help. The save data is stored in Users/Saved Games/Respawn/JediSurvivor if it helps. I had to do it again yesterday when my DLC items disappeared again.

I found a thread on the EA forums about someone who had their achievements working and then managed to break their achievements. Apparently disabling usage sharing can break achievements. I always disable this sort of setting if any game has it. Re-enabled it on this game and ran to pet the nearest bogling to test it, and the achievement popped immediately. Hope this helps.
