Broken achievements

[Sebastian Peril]

Has anybody else had any issues with achievements not unlocking? I've shot all ten thrown items in the mini-game a good five or six times now without anything popping up.

It's not the first game I have seen this happen in and it makes me wonder why developers make games Steamworks-only and then botch up the very features they do it for such as achievements.

Any suggestions for a fix would be appreciated :)

Doesn't look like this is ever going to get fixed. It would be nice if Steam had a system in place for flagging broken achievements which would be removed after a certain number of users marked them as broken.

I'm quite happy to play games with or without achievements, I just find it irritating if they are there but unobtainable.

I got 49/56 (I only miss 5x Skill to Level 10, parrot and shooting). Some others are hard to get but it's possible. If someone is interested i can tell him.

A little try...

Hello, Deep Silver techsupport Team!

I'd like to say that i do love the games you've published. I do like the certain games and one of them is Risen 2. The game is very plesant to me and i do get enjoy playing it.
But there is a little problem with this game that is still unsolved since it's release - some of the game achievements are broken and still unachieveable for 1.5-year-long. This achievements are: "Blademaster", "Gunslinger", "Tough Bas tard", "Rogue", "Voodoo-Wizard", "Birdbrain" and Crack shot". The problem is on discussing over the fan sites and steam forums, It's just enough to type "Risen 2 achievements bug" or "Risen 2 achievements not unlocking" into the google search to find it out.
Please... if there is a way to make a patch to fix the broken achievements - community would be really grateful and would appreciate such a gift.

Best regards,
Your devoted customer

Your completly right about it, special circumstance for this very reason also is that this game is Steam only - even if you bought a retail boxed collectors edition. So the clear signal deep silver is sending us here is that steam is only used for DRM but noone cares about players issue. Your right i will think twice when next see a game from deep silver if nothing will change here, sad but true.
I mean they bundle the game + dlc for a so called "gold version" but nothing changes to the games bugs ect. thats not how i feel like a welcome customer who should buy future productions.

Still bugged. I haven't received the one for getting all 20 legendary items. I also did not get one for hitting 10 targets in both shooting the fleet and the regular shoot game.

Their butts glued to their chairs: "Wow, wow. I can't code a fixing patch, cuz i'm stuck!"

Well good that i read through here before starting. Risen 1 was bugged enough so i had hope for Risen 2. But this makes it like THQ, the games are good, but optimized...no. Really sad as the no matter how great a game is, it´s worthless if it doesn´t work correctly:(

[Sebastian Peril]

I don't think we will ever be seeing a fix as it has been over a year since I started this thread. Shame really

[The Curator]

I think it´s just sick how stuff like this can happen. I mean, do the Developers just ignore this or do they never see it?

Cause if i made a game with a group, and then saw the Web full of topics complaining about bugs, i would try to fix them.

Only thing i can think of is that either the Company don´t allow any changes, the budget may be done for on that section. Or they don´t have persmission to do it for some reason, maybe contracts and stuff.

But in the end, both loses, consumers get a bad experience, and the developers get´s a bad rep and the company will most likely lose profit in the end.
