Split Affinity achievement not working. EDIT: GOT IT TO WORK

[Evangelion]

Hi everyone. Is anyone having trouble with the Split Affinity achievement? I finished the game 4 times already and I can't get it to work. In my first play through, I had both human and Typhon neuromods installed. My second playthrough I did a No Needles run, my third I went 100% human and my fourth I went 100% Typhon. I really love the game, and I don't mind playing it a couple more times. I just wanted to get all of the achievements, and Split Affinity is my last one.

Is it glitched? I haven't modded my save files or anything. I'm not using any mods or trainers; I'm playing the game vanilla. Has anyone else had this problem?

EDIT: I forgot to update this post, but I ended up playing the game over again two more times and that unlocked the achievment for me. I deleted all of my saves and made sure that none of my saves were synced to the cloud, then I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Afterwards, I played the game twice: First getting nothing but Typhon abilities and the second time with nothing but human abilities. I got the achievement after my human only playthrough.

I probably didn't need to do all these steps, I just did it to make sure. Either way, thanks to everyone who posted in this thread. Hopefully some of these comments can point people towards the right direction if they're having problems getting this achievement.

I still have to do this one, but aren't you supposed to do typhon first and human afterwards (based on the achievement description)...?

I'm also having trouble with this. I'll post more about it in a different thread, but I planned to win with no neuromods and get No Needles, load my last save, learn one human ability and win, load my save, and then learn one typhon ability and win to get Split Affinity. I got No Needles, but Split Affinity failed. (I tried doing another one-human-ability win after the one-typhon-ability win, but that didn't unlock it either.)

From what I read, it doesn't matter which one you complete first. As long as you beat the game using just the abilities for humans and Typhon in two seperate campaigns then you'll get the achievement.

I tried this the first time I did the No Needles playthrough. From what I've read on other forums, the game is smart enough to detect this and it won't trigger the achievement. I think it only works with one save.

Say, for example, you do a No Needles run and save before the end of the game and get some Typhon abilities, then you would have to play another campaign with just human abilities and vice versa. So you can get the No Needles achievement and then reload the game and get Typhon achievements but you would still have to play another campaign.

So we need at least 3 separate whole runs? No powers - typhon - human.....if the reload trick doesn't work....

If somebody wants to share a save to make some tests, very appreciated....I am doing a human only run (my first).

I've spent ~5 hrs to understang how it is working. Main leads are in attributes.xml file.
There should be 2 lines, e.g.
<Attr name="SplitAffinityAlienCampaign" value="6241943644282449265"/>
<Attr name="SplitAffinityHumanCampaign" value="6241943644282449193"/>
Check them before finishing any of them for presence and GUIDs correspondence.
I suppose:
1)That this lines will be added when you are picking power on the 1st time (with neuromod "cutscene".
2)If you pick other branch, this line will be removed.
3)Pretty sure that you can "restore" your saves if you suddenly wanish them with other branch powers.

I got the achievement with two runs. My first was pure human, since there are no typhon powers at first and then there was January's warning. My second was No Needles, and after getting it, I reloaded, bought typhon powers and finished again, which gave me Split Affinity.
I did not fiddle with the saves, nor used any mods. Someone suggested that it worked because I did it before some patch, but I don't know if that is of any importance.
