Game isn't tracking playtime or achivements

[◭Stephster◮]

The total playtime has been stuck at 3.3 hours after a handful of crashes I experienced before that. It's also prevented me from obtaining any achievements I've gotten past those initial 3.3 hours. Does anyone have a fix for this, or is this just Ubisoft doing what they do best?

Is your game modded in any way?

Yes, it is. I assumed it wouldn't be an issue since modding the game didn't impact my ability to get achievements in Far Cry 6. I'm using the Rakyat Mod, if that matters. I was hoping there would be a mod in there that would allow me to fix the performance/crashing issues me and other players had been experiencing.

If you modify the Steam dll that every steam game usually has especially, thats the file thats needed to hook in to track achievements, and maybe playtime. (Less sure about playtime, but achievements definently) Perhaps ubi updated that file when they added the achieves, and your modded version is from a time before that so doesn't include their changes.

This is just a theory.

If you want a fix I'd recommend a clean install. (backup mod files first if desired) Once you have your achieves you could always switch back anyway. The Steam achieves also just get dragged over from Uplay, so technichally you could probably play modded until you got all the achieves in Uplay and the moment you launch it working in Steam it should transfer stuff over.

Now-- just for my own curiosity, what kinda mods you using? :P

oop-- another suggestion, just to add: If you own multiple copies of far cry 3 on Ubisoft Connect (they've done a lot of givaways in the past, and stuff like Far Cry 6 Season Pass might include an extra copy) you'll want to make sure you are launching the one associated with steam. The one not associated with steam won't have achieves linked in cause it won't be linking with steam. This would also explain why your time isn't being tracked, if you are launching the non-steam version. (Even if done so from Steam)
