Randomly given achievement.
So i just got some random achievement for no reason after finishing the tutorial.

- Hellenic Elysium
- Ultimate success
- Grand Champion
- Master
- Determined

All have to do with Hellas and Elysium, so i'm guessing there is a bug related to that. Happened to anyone else?

Wow ... just like that i received 5 other one by going in and out of my profile:
- Acquired Knowledge
- Money Money
- Final Touch
- Self-Sufficient
- Frequent Tester

All related to Prelude this time.

It's all part of the plan to see just how bizarre and messed up the game can be made and still sell.

Same here. I received all the Prelude's achievements and I don't have this DLC...

Did you have H&E bought?

And did you go through all the tutorial steps/phases?

I will appreciate any help to easily bug-out the achievements for me so I can save my ocd and spend my time actually playing the game. Any tips to reproduce what you guys just did? :)

Same for me. Just bought the game and started the tutorial. After finishing it and going through achievements in profile tab, beside finish tutorial achievement I got every achievement from DLC's (both Prelude and Hellas & Elysium), which I don't even own. Maybe opening ingame achievements tab is crucial for this? I got steam achievements after I returned from there to main menu.

I've had the game for a month and I got a bunch of prelude achievements after doing stuff in my profile tody as well. Also do not own either dlc.

Thanks for the tips - unfortunately did not get it to work yet :( Tried to visit my profile and achievements tabs in game and then returning to the main menu etc.

I'm a little lost.

Do we get anything tangible or useful for completing these achievements?

Granted, if they're going to bother with achievements, they should probably make them work correctly. But I seriously hope nobody actually wants these flawed achievements to take any priority over actually fixing the game itself.

Obviously it should be lower on the priority list, but I use achievements for, well, a sense of achievement for my progress in exploring a game. If I got an achievement I didn't earn, I can't look at my achievements to see what I have and haven't done, and its sitting there telling me I've done things I literally can't as I don't even have the expansions. Its robbing me of my future happy feelings when I would get it done for real. Achievements are satisfying, I like collecting them and this feels like cheating.

The biggest point of this thread, for me at least, is just to make the devs aware its happening, and provide some clarity for confused people who don't understand why they randomly got 10 achievements for going into a menu.

I hear what you're saying.

The tricky part is, the developers are too incompetent to read these forums and determine what's priority and what isn't. They are likely to spend weeks fixing these achievements and then think they've done some superb job fixing the game, without actually doing anything to fix the actual game.

haha possibly, I do tend to forget that the awesome indie teams on most my games aren't the standard lol.

There is probably a line of code in achievements grant check that checks if a user has a dlc and when it fails it gives an achievement regardless if conditions are met or if the context is right (fake tutorial game).
Probably not catched in QA because tester tested it having a rich configuration with all DLCs.

I just have a base game and also got about 10 achievements from different tutorials.
