Hey there

Unfortunately as far as I'm aware these achievements cannot be unlocked retroactively without completing the requirements again on that platform.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused as a result of this.

Hello SpirantElf53,

Thank you for the update!

As long as you perform all of the actions from Steam achievements once again, they should be unlocked for you :)

I hope it clarifies the situation and if you have any additional questions, please let us know.

Hey SpirantElf53,

Thanks for getting back to us.

Could you please share any screenshot or ideally video examples showing some of the achievement requirements being unlocked so we can take a closer look?

Thank you!

I wonder why ubisoft pays employees to reply here. Seems so idiotic since it's most likely none of them ever played the game (maybe 10 mins to pretend they know what they are posting about), nor even plan to, nor care to offer any kind of of intelligent replies. Always the game copy+paste "we have no idea, that definitely doesn't happen to everyone" than follow up "we really don't care, hopefully you can stop posting, so we'll ask you to send a screenshot for no reason even though it has absolutely nothing to do with what you asked nor would be of any use no matter what you show in the screenshot."

Here's the solution:
Steam actually has two seperate games for the base game and the expansion, trial by fire, which you are referring to;
The base game appid:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/321960/Might__Magic_Heroes_VII/

This has achievements, including ones for trial by fire.

The expansion, is sold as a standalone game, appid:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/445310/Might_and_Magic_Heroes_VII__Trial_by_Fire/

This does not have achievements.

So if you only own the standalone expansion, you can't get them.

However given you said you got the base games ones, seems you do own it. They integrated both games together in a patch, and added the addon achievements ONLY to the base game.

So simply install/launch the complete edition, It has the Trial by Fire expansion (called addon in game) integrated, and then you can earn the achievements on steam. Interestingly, steam is smart enough to know they are the same files, so I actually didn't have to download anything when I tried to launch the standalone expansion, but yea launching it disables achievements.

As you noticed, you can earn them on uplay regardless of how you launch it.

That said, i've noticed a recent steam bug where sometimes the steam achievements API fails to launch, no idea why but it only happens occasionally for me and restarting the game the next day generally fixes it. You can tell it failed to load by press ♥♥♥♥+tab in game and checking if the achievement section is there. If it failed to load, the middle section will just be replaced by news instead.
