I've gotten a report that someone who had this issue before this update still couldn't get it fixed by using the current public beta. They worked around it by copying their save and renaming it to a different slot while in the main menu, which in turn made both of the files show up afterwards. Might be worth looking into.

Mmm I am on Mac and still have the achievement problem in this beta,hope it will be fixed in the official patch!

I've tried the linux version and all the achievements that I unlocked since the last update have been "officialy" unlocked when I loaded the game.

Thanks for the update.

Yeah the linux achievements worked for me too. Thanks!

Uhh.. actually Rivalry is still missing on Steam. The achievement didn't show up in the public beta branch in-game either (it did show on non-beta branch and I remember it showing up when I beat Zote).

Missing Blood particles textures still not fixed! Its embracing :(

But here's what's interesting: these original nice-looking organic particles are still present in ceiling drippings and all main 3 dream bosses, for example https://postimg.cc/image/i8q6c8553/ So textures are still in the game, but don`t show for normal enemies. And looks like other particle effects are downgraded too https://postimg.cc/image/rilr24xgn/

Team Cherry PLEASE bring back old awesome blood particles textures!

Please fix this. I stopped playing the game just because of those lifeblood changes. They are horrible for the PC community. I don't care about Switch, make them have the separate inferior version.

I think the solid coloring looks silly in comparison, and we should definitely get an answer on how things are going. Not a huge deal, but please change it back.
