Having trouble with achievements not triggering?

[MS IamPREZSTEVE]

Hey guys,

I just got some information regarding achievements not triggering from the devs. A few things to note:

• We noticed some achievement rewards gets delayed, but activate upon exiting the game or restarting Steam. This could be the result of Steam maintenance. If this continues to happen for some people, posting the replays that *should* have awarded the achievement in this thread would really help us track down and fix this.
  
• Note that using any cheat, or even typing the word 'cheat' into the chat box, will prompt the game to assume that you are cheating, and no achievements will be rewarded from that particular match.

Thank you all for continuing to report issues in this forum. As always, providing as many details as possible, screenshots, and replays is really helpful.

This is in fact the case with certain achievements like the ones for defeating tougher or toughest opponents and for victory on a big huge maps. The ones people are having issues with not trigerring at all are the ones for specific types of matches like Science Nerd and Assassin. Those don't seem to trigger at all, or rather rarely at all as it seems some people have managed them. These specific game modes also have issues with being counted when it comes to number of games won for people who are having issues with the achievements triggering.

I've also gotten some acheviements that I didn't earn. For example, I got the achievement for defeating a tougher opponent, even though I immediately resigned the game a few seconds after it started.

Strange that you should blame Steam since all achievements for literally every single other game I've played are granted instantly, the moment they are achieved.

They are a notification of success and should apply upon said success for full effect.

In this game I get random achievements here and there. They are meaningless. There is no satisfaction.
Some I have earned, some I haven't, some I am still yet to receive despite meeting the conditions.

I've noticed that after doing Espionage on the Cold War campaign as both USA and Russia the achievement hasn't triggered.

Then you haven't played very many games on steam, have you? I've played at least a dozen games where achievements are awarded at the conclusion of a map, or the completion of whatever task.

That's exactly what I'm saying. The achievement should be awarded upon the completion of the task, not in a random amount of time afterwards (or never), and definitely not if I haven't earnt it!!

Still not getting achievements. I've unlocked the final 4 techs in 2 games now and still don't have "Genius".

Still having issues with getting achievements. Have tried re-launching the game, re-launching Steam, rebooting PC, even verifying local game files. There are still achievements that requirements have been met for multiple times that the game is not awarding.

Example Achievements that I know I earned correctly, but the system didn't reward are:
1.) "Big Huge"
2.) "Generous"
3.) "Skilled"

I'm not having any trouble getting achievements...

This game is still having problems with achievements. It is not accurately tracking numbers of wins. I've played the exact same number of games as a friend of mine, always on the same allied team. We've won the exact same number of games, but his gave him the "Colonel" achievement for winning 10 games, whereas mine says I'm still only at 6 games won, even though actual number of times we've been on the same winning team at least 15-20. Please fix this issue.

I got no achievements anymore. Profile reset should be the cause ?

[Yarlen CS]

Game reinstalled. It works now...

[Shizima]

Totally uninstalled and reinstalled game… didn't make a difference on getting any achievements, however did notice one thing. Usually play LAN game with same other player and I'm almost always the host. We just had him host for the first time and I got 2 achievements in the same, which is the first time I've gotten any in like 8-10 days. On the same note the other player was at 10/25 wins towards Brigadier and I was at 7/10 towards Colonel. After just winning the above referenced game, I went up to 8/10 and he stayed at 10/25. So it appears that there's some sort of glitch where achievements don't process properly when you are hosting a LAN / direct IP game. Hopefully this additional info helps to correct the problem. Thanks.

I'm having trouble with Genius and Wonder so far. I also don't think achievements like the destroy x amount of buildings is tracking correctly unless it doesn't count nukes...I used 10 nukes and my count only increased by three.
