Problem with achievment "Pacifist"

[Zugzwang]

I was playing with my friend in co-op, he got this achievement, i didn`t.
I even started a new game both single & coop...but...nothing.
Progress stopped at 5/10 days, it doesnt change.

pacifist is known to be buggy, when I was achievement hunting I played around with the "cannibal neutrality" idea and managed to keep it up for about 30 in game days, no cannibals killed (poked with a stick at worse, never finished off) and yet no achievement. Likewise, it may randomly decide to count when you aren't being a pacifist at all, had friends get it while we were doing bonfire arenas to get them serial killer instead. A lot of people have it pop up while playing multiplayer, it just seems to trigger randomly.

Cannibal die by different stuff like:
-suicide
-drowning
-getting killed by player
-being smashed by tree
-skinny(starving) cannibals hunting other cannibals
-randomly dying because they fell so
-etc


On singleplayer ALL deaths of cannibals go to player.
On multiplayer ALL deaths of cannibals go to host. (so if client kills 100 cannibals in 10 days then client gets pacifist achievement and host gets serial killer achievement)


In the past there was bug that pacifist worked ONLY on first 10 days of the world (no idea if that was fixed), basically if you killed at least one cannibal on certain save... you were banned from getting this achievement on this one save.


Because of those "rules" created by devs... It's advised to do this achievement:
-on peaceful difficulty
-creative mode (you can turn on/off cannibals there, just disable them)
-on vegan mode (special gamemode command)
-or use commands to totally disable cannibals and speed up time so 10 days end in 5-10min
