Explanation for why achievements are broken

[Breedofspeed]

*UPDATE: comment #3 on this post has a community fix for all achievements (May 27, 2019). Approved by AStats as of June 11th, but not other 3rd party achievement trackers.*

The reason for most of us being stuck at 119 unlocked is because when the game had 2500 achievements we had the 100% though when the developer removed tons of the achievements and made the list a total of 360 we kept 119 of the old 2500 batch unlocked.

This change to the achievement amount happened on July 17th 2018 - 14:00:06 UTC. To all of us who didn't reidle the game for the rest of the achievements that worked (being all of them apart from W.2) before July 22nd we missed our chance at ever getting our achievement progress for the game to 359/360.

This is because on July 22nd 2018 - 20:00:02 UTC the developer changed all the api names for the 360 achievements to be numbers from 1-360 instead of what they were before being named as ACH_WAIT_1 - ACH_WAIT_360 (except the broken W.2 which wasn't defined like this so the game couldn't unlock it).

The new api names that happened on this date means that now when you idle the game it's trying to unlock achievements for the old api names of ACH_WAIT - ACH_WAIT_360 which don't exist therefore making the whole achievement list now broken.

Decompiled code snippet for achievement unlocking from the most up to date build:

0x000010:
if !(> global.second 0s) goto 0x00005C
0x000024:
if !(~ (bool (steam_get_achievement[]:int32 (var "ACH_WAIT_0")))) goto 0x00005C
0x000044:
call (steam_set_achievement[]:int32 (var "ACH_WAIT_0"))
0x00005C:
if !(> global.second 5s) goto 0x0000A8
0x000070:
if !(~ (bool (steam_get_achievement[]:int32 (var "ACH_WAIT_1")))) goto 0x0000A8
0x000090:
call (steam_set_achievement[]:int32 (var "ACH_WAIT_1"))

Therefore all the achievements in the game are currently broken forever unless the developer releases an update to the game to use the new api names for the unlock code instead (or changes the api names back to the ACH_WAIT format.

Since +1 is against the rules.... I approve this post and therefore show my interest in bumping it!

Yes, consider sending a link to this thread to the dev's support email. The more people that email about this issue, the better our chances for eventually getting the 100% will become. It's as simple as getting him to fix a few lines of code.

I'll ask Leeson if he still has copies of those files. I was not aware they weren't available.
