Achievement status not updating.

[MIBA]

I am four hours in to the game, and have gather multiple items and come across several animals, but the status for those achievments has not been updated. For instance I have found 28 secrets, but the achievement status shows 0. Any information on how to fix this would be appreciated.

Hi MIBA51,

Thats an issue on our side.
Unreal Engine 4 doesn't handle partial unlocking of achievements (stats) and I only found this out after I had finished setting up all the achievement data.

So this just doesn't work currently. Sorry about that. :(

Hi FacePalm.exe

Thank you for the update. Hopefully you will find a workaround that can retractively update the achievments. I have been able to get one achievment (Postcard) and I will reply back if more single item/action achievements are granted. Cheers ~ MIBA51

@ facepalm.exe,

older games with no source code support (the dev have not the code, only the binaries), have achievements and stats. the magic word here is the "save game". so, i think, you can bypass this problem, i mean evry time i found a secret, the game write in the save game right? so use this as data base.

Hey MIBA51,

Sorry, I should have been clearer: All the achievements will unlock correctly, it just won't show the progress in the steam overlay. I'm storing the progress in the save file and awarding the achievement once the prerequisites have been met.

Let me know if any DON'T unlock if you have all the secrets/creatures/etc in-game.

Hey Look,

This isn't how Steam stats work.
The issue isn't getting the data, it's putting it on the steam servers.

As I mentioned before, Unreal 4 doesn't support the 'Pushing' stats to the steam servers. Unlocking achievements works fine. :)

well ok, btw. did you read the x-axis thread, i think you have a little problem @ y-axis function (every game start, the game wirtes 4 useless lines in a ini).

Hi Look,

Yes I have seen the X-axis thread.
I receive a notification whenever a new thread is posted, and I read all of them.

From now on, I will ask that you abide by the steam forum rules. Please don't hijack other unrelated threads in the future.

[Look]

ok.

I'm having huge problems with the hotel achievement (Concierge). I've completed the game and it's the only achievement I haven't gotten. I've even reset my game to visit all three hotels again repeatedly but to no avail.

According to my google search, other people seem to have these problems too, but then mostly on xbox.

Is this something you're aware of?

Hi Gormtex,

Yes, it's something I have heard reports of, but am not quite sure why this is the case.
When you climb the hotel buildings there is a Trigger box placed near the entrance to the level which you should hit.

Try climbing them to the first platform/ledge so you hit that trigger. (up and down on ledges if you can)

It's possible they havn't been placed quite right and you're managing to get past it.
I'll prod one of the artists to take another look at their placement.

Hope that helps. :)

I'm also having this issue.

I tried moving aroudn on all of the first few platforms, covering every part of them that you can move on, and it's still not triggering.

Maybe it would work better if it triggers as soon as you enter, and it shows the name of the building?

Seconded. I still can't get it to trigger even though I tried to cover every single ledge on each of the three hotels.

Merry Christmas! :)

I take it they're still working on this since it was recent. I like to 100% tho and don't like to buy a game with known broken achievements. Please post here when this is fixed, thanks.

To Gormtex and Mutant panda- what input are you using, maybe try to enter the area with something different, less likely but it's something else you could try for the team.

I had the same issue and in the end restarted a new game and went to all 3 hotels again. When I started covering every single spot of the first landing I got it in the end. Maybe one could place the boxes on the boxes on top since that's a location every player is bound to touch sooner or later?

[Gewebewurm]

The problem still exists. I tried the climbing around the first ledge, which worked as soon as I tried it on the Villdyse Hotel. Hope this helps.

Hi Gewebewurm,

I posted a solution on another thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/301860/discussions/0/358417008720748895/#c358417461604382016

See if that helps.

Cheers.
