Wak Wak achievement/challenge (and others) don't unlock

[okcomputing]

I've been playing on the Steam Deck, and I've noticed that some achievements/challenges don't unlock properly despite the conditions for them being met. I think it's got something to do putting the system to sleep and waking it, because it will work properly on a fresh boot of the game.

I had this happen earlier with the completion of the moon quest not unlocking the achievement, but thankfully I had a cloud save close enough to that point to redo it, and on the second time it worked. No such luck with the Wak Wak one as I don't have a backup save from before I spoke to the last spirit.

Is there any chance this can be retroactively checked by the game and flagged as completed? Because I've now missed a one-time achievement and I can't retry it without replaying the entirety of the game. As good as it is, I don't see myself doing that...

Hey okcomputing,

Sorry to hear it.
It could be due to the specific behaviour of a Steam Deck. as you mentioned.
At this stage, we are unable to guarantee full compatibility between Ubisoft games and services and Steam Deck / SteamOS.
Certain games could work; however, we are unable to assist in case of compatibility issues.

You can try some basic troubleshooting steps for this device:
• Verify game files (Right click the game in your library > Properties > Installed Files tab > Verify integrity of game files)

• Install all available system updates (Steam > Settings > System > Check for Updates)

• Close or disable all other third party applications that you have installed via Desktop Mode

• Manually restart your Steam Deck (Software Updates section or via Steam > Power > Restart) ** If your Steam Deck is unresponsive, force a restart by holding the power button down for 4 (7 for OLED) seconds.

Thanks for the reply. I tried all the above and redownloaded the game, but it won't acknowledge having spoken to all Wak Wak tree heads anyway.

I assume they get flagged as having been talked to the first time you speak to them only, and I must've been offline or something a few times causing them to not count even if I speak to them again.

Thanks, okcomputing.

Maybe at some point it will let you unlock or sync correctly.
We will not be able to unlock it for you, sadly.
