Star Performance Achievement not being awarded properly
I completed the quest, its marked as completed in my quest log, yet I'm missing Star Performance and I only have 5/6 quests completed for the Strong Foundation achievement. That said, I have definitely completed all six quests. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi, did you get the achievement in the end?
I've a similar bug, the difference is I've popped the Star Performance achievement, finished the other 2 side quest, and the 3 main quests and the Strong Foundation achievement still is not awarded.

Unfortunately not :/

Hi, just to let you know that I managed to get both achievements by backing up my save games and from the main menu, chapter select, end game and just run through The foundation DLC until you finish the fist main quest.
Then pick up 2 collectables and the achievements popped one after the other.
In your case I believe you'll still have to run through to the train cart and the camera mission to get the Star Performance achievement too.

This didn't work for me and just lost me a lot of progress. Backuped up my saves, but the game couldn't restore it. So ♥♥♥♥ this game and this advice.

Is Steam Cloud enable in your game? If so, uncheck that option before doing this, for Steam will download the save game it have on the Cloud automatically.

This game updates the progress for achievements in specific moments. That's why the foundation mission achievements and the collectibles achievements can get stuck without the last one. What you need to do is, after meeting the requirements for the achievement, do an action that makes the game update the achievement status. What I used to do was unlocking a new skill. It always worked, as soon as I unlock the skill the achievement pops up.

Now I have no clue what happens if you exit the game or restart it after meeting the requirement and not getting the achievement (you could try unlocking a skill anyway, maybe it still works, who knows). From what I've read here, you need to trigger the achievement check in other ways like completing another foundation mission or getting a new collectible. But you won't be able to do so anymore since you completed/collected them all. So the solution would be restarting the DLC from the main menu and grabbing a collectible or completing a mission to trigger the achievement progress check.

So in short: don't exit the game, but unlock a new skill as soon as you're done with the achievement in order to trigger it. There are probably some other actions that you can do to trigger the check but this is the only one I found and it was easy and quick.

Correct. It happened to me in some achievements by just grabbing collectables, advancing in other quests,... completely unrelated achievements would popped. But that never happened with those 2.

The thing is, if you restart the DLC just to grab a collectable or some other thing it will create a new save game and you will lose your progress. So what I did was to back up the save beforehand.

Because those 2 seem to be coded differently. Putting the skill point immediately after doing everything worked for me.

Btw here you said

and just so you know, the foundation missions are 6, not 5. There's one you're missing.

Make sure you save some skill points to unlock a skill once you complete that mission so it will pop.
