Fix Achievements not unlocking with Classic RBDoom 3 BFG

[MaDShadoW]

In case you are using one of the latest versions of Classic RBDoom 3 BFG Edition you can unlock all of the game achievements.

But some might expirience issues with that.

This post will give you some detail about possible issues and solutions.

Issue 1: No Open Platform Binaries

In case you downloaded the source code and compile it or using some of the earlier version with steam achievement support you probably not having the Open Platform with Steam Implementation Binaries which are required in order to send the unlock achievement message to the Steam servers.

Solution

In that case go to Open Platform's github page[github.com] and download the latest binaries with Steam.
Extract the folder of your corresponding system (NOTE: Classic RBDoom is mainly supports x64-bit systems) and copy the OpenPlatform Binary (.dll, .so) the the game's base directory and the steam_api to just the game's directory. After that create a file in game's directory and name it "steam_appid.txt" and put in it the game's id (208200).

Issue 2: The game tells me that I use the console but the console is inactive

Even through the message hasn't been updated the message implies that in general you are cheating and therefor the game won't grant you any achievement.

Solution

Aside from having the console inactive make sure the parameters "-classich" or "-warp" are not used also since they are considered cheating too.

Issue 3: I did what the two previous issues said but still nothing

Ah yes, the bane of my miserable existence the profile.bin this file stores ALOT of things about you including even if you have unlocked specific achievements or not.

Solution

Go to

C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\Id Software\RBDOOM 3 BFG\<base and/or mod name>\savegame

and delete (and burn it with hellfire) the profile.bin
(NOTE: You will lose your custom button mappings)

Well, anyway I uploaded the fixes in the source code. If you want you can download and compile it on your own (recommended profile is Retail because it includes optimizations and additional adjustements in order to feel like the official release)
