achivements aren't working.

i know that i've earned them but they're not showing up for me?

Did you start playing after the newest patch? If you start a new game on a default difficulty like easy, wait 7 days, you still don't get 'survive a week' ?

I did start after the new patch & i'm currently on day 19 and still no achivements.

Hm, interesting. Are you using a default difficulty, or a custom one? I'm almost to another achievement at the moment, I'll see if it unlocks for me. I'm using hard difficulty. All my achievements are from prior to the patch beta though, I believe.

I'm playing on normal difficulty; no custom. I can't seem to find anyone else having this problem.

I have the same problem, I miss only 4 achievements and I can't unlock them. I have to catch 8 animals, I'm at 92/100 in the achievement and it doesn't go up, I have to upgrade all the things at maximum which I did and nothing change, even the achievement which asks to upgrade at least one thing to maximum didn't work... The fourth achievement is to go out with the van but I still miss one piece to use it but I don't even want to try to find it because achievement won't work anyway...
I kept the same save after the update, I didn't create a new one, maybe that's the problem

I just installed it and started my first game a few hours ago and no achievements unlocked for me either.

[Tanija]

None for me either, and I played until day 30 :/

[Scynix]

My achievement progress isn't updating since the patch release. I should have unlocked 1,000 miles/100 animals long ago in my current game, but it hasn't progressed past 867/67 respectively.

Something to do with the update I believe. Maybe the difficulty changes effected achievement unlocks?

@pr1ncesskaty, looks like you aren't alone :)

HI all, sorry we've been a little slow to respond on this one! I'm going to move this thread into the reported problems sub forum so that our support team are aware and we can get working on a fix for you all. Hopefully we'll have something soon!

Hey all,


Sorry to hear that you've been having this problem.
I'm raising the matter to the team now so that they can carry out an investigation.
To help them in this effort, I'd like to ask that anyone not getting achievements please respond with the following:

1. A link to the specific update that achievements stopped working in (A history of updates can be found here.)
   
2. A list of achievements that no longer track or unlock (or if all achievements are affected)
   
3. The difficulty that you're playing in
   
4. The platform that you're playing on (Windows, Mac, Linux)

Thank you,
BenTeam17

I just installed the game and played it for the first time yesterday. I played on the normal difficulty and no achievements unlocked or show any progress. I'm on Windows 10 64bit.

Hello! I'm having the same issue in that NONE of the achievements are showing any progress whatsoever. I'm playing on a Windows machine on the normal difficulty setting.

1: Everything worked for me until the 1.5 update
2: It looks like all of them are not working. Definitely, the RV, gun usage and collect all tools are not working
3: Normal (started game before difficulty was a thing)
4: Windows 7

Hey again all,


Thanks for getting back in touch with all of this info.
The team have put together a speculative fix to resolve this issue.
Before we put the fix out, I'd like to ask for your help to check if it works.
If you're experiencing this issue and are willing to help, please follow the steps below.
These will install a special version of the game on your machine, which includes the fix.

1. Load Steam
   
2. From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
   
3. Select the Betas tab
   
4. Type the beta access code "RadiationPoisoning" (without quotes)
   
5. Click the Check Code button
   
6. Expand the drop-down and select "Bugfix_Branch - Bug Fix Update 4.1"
   
7. Click close in the bottom right of the screen

Once you've completed these steps, the game should perform a quick update.
If this doesn't happen, please run a file cache integrity check to force the change.
Instructions on how to do this can be found here.
Please let me know how you get on.
If we have a positive response to this change, we'll plan to roll it out live shortly after.


Thank you,
BenTeam17

After opting into the beta I was able to get the Hunter gatherer achievement.
The expedition that was taking place before the beta did not count towards miles but did count towards places searched.
The next expedition did count towards miles.
That's all I'm able to test at the moment but as far as I can tell things are looking peachy.
