Unable to get achievements

[Nex Sacramentum]

I met with the following problem: I cannot obtain several achievements in the game, such as Ice Ice Yuki, A thief's beginning, Disguised, Warzone, Happy Planning and some more of the secret ones. No matter what I do and how I do it, the game refuses to grant them to me. Tried reinstalling and resetting the game, did not help. Any ideas?

Just to make sure: You bought the game on steam?

that is very weird :C sadly i have no clue what this could be about. we hear of that for the first time...
probably your best bet is to write an email to support @ daedalic . com where they will try to reproduce it and then forward it to us to fix or something.
very weird.

i back this up, i did buy it on steam, i got every badge (thanks to guides on youtube, i admit) and i didnt get A thief's beginning or Disguised , i did retry it several times on level 3 with yuki but it didnt help :/

i have the simular problem and i beleive i know the cause. First i pirated the GOG version to try the game, got thru 4 missions, then bought it. Since then i played a bit, earned some archivements just fine, but the THIEF and DISGUISED are still locked, regardless of the fact that those actions were performed in legal copy. I think that the game remembers the first inctance of doing such action, and since the first inctance was on pirated version, repeating the action gains no archievement. Perhable, the "Game wipe" option in menu would help? Otherwise i will consider those missing archivements as my penance for piracy lol.

I had the same problem. I started the game with an old version a few times ago, then bought it on Steam last week. I found my savegames and copied them ( C:\users\YOUR_USER\appdata\local\daedalic entertain...\shadow tactics ..\user\) and nine achievements weren't unlocking no matter what I did.

I just found a solution! (backup your "user" folder just in case)
-> Be sure to deactivate cloud sync in case
-> Be sure to close the game before modifying the file

1) Open "userData.save" (see folder above) (I used notepad++)

2) Look for 'CompletingAwaitingApiCall', you will see that all your 'jammed' achievements are set to this value. The achievement name is two lines above 'CompletingAwaitingApiCall'.

** I manualy checked every achievement I know that are jammed for me and each one's state is set to this. I took "TheCave" achievement for my test, since it takes one minute to try at start of mission two

3) Replace 'CompletingAwaitingApiCall' to 'Running' (without any quote)

4) 3 lines under it, there is always a "m_lGUIDsTriggered:!System.Collections....", containing "4" and "-0" on two different lines. Erase the line containing "4" and replace the "-0" by "0" (see a Running one if you're not sure)

** if there are more than two lines, like the achv Mimimi, I don't know what values to set, may be someone who completed it could tell us **

5) Save the file, start the game, trigger the appropriate action, and voila!

-> Reactivate your cloud sync when everything is ok

Amazing game! Amazing developpers and team!! Thank the devs that clearly output the file in that format!

I had the same problem, but PICz‘s solution cannot help.
My “userData.save” shows “complete”, but the steam achievements didn’t unlock.
There are “Too Early”, “Happy planning” and “It’s Raining Men”.

Hi ppg3398,

for the mentioned achievements that did not unlock you should change the "Completed" value in the "userData.save" to "Running". This way they should reset and you can replay the mission to get them.
(Deactivate your cloud sync first and close the game!)

So look for and edit the following lines for each achievement that is giving you trouble from
m_eCompletedState:!Achievement+CompleteState|Completed

and change it to
m_eCompletedState:!Achievement+CompleteState|Running


You can also try to fix this by deleting your userData.save file completely and play the respective missions anew to unlock the achievements.
Be aware however that deleting this file will delete your progress in the game so you won't be able to access each mission that you have previously unlocked from the menu anymore. You can however still load savegames that you can use to get into each mission, if you have them.

In any case you should make sure to back up your files prior to editing or deleting them.

[…]

Many thanks for answering.
First, I tried to modify the "userData.save", but it didn't work.
Also, I couldn't find the achievement of "Too Early" in it, so I deleted the "userData.save", loaded the save game, and replayed it again. Finally, it works! I got the three achievements, thanks a lot!

Downloaded again yesterday.
Decided to give it a try today.
It works.
I'm deeply grateful

For future reference:
you have problem - tinker with game files
Thanks again

"too early" achievement is similar to "warrior barrel" :)
