The mystery of the Community Ambassador badge...

Hi,

So I've been stuck on 21/26 of the objectives for the CA badge. The problem is that I should already have it. I have 5 objectives left and I have actually completed four of these yet they haven't registered with steam.

The five I have left to do (yet I've already done nearly all of them) are:

- View a Guide in the Steam Overlay.
I've opened the in-game overlay in CS:GO multiple times on different load ups and viewed around 40 guides collectively, still hasn't registered.

- Make a Trade.
I've traded with two different people, admittedly we traded back right after. You can see on my profile that it says I've made six trades, although still hasn't registered.

- Craft a Game Badge.
I have crafted the first badge for CS:GO, still hasn't registered. On a side note, no cards are being dropped for me but I'm not sure if this is related.

- Use a Steam Emoticon in chat.
I've used my recently received

in chat, still hasn't registered.

- Link your Steam and Facebook accounts.
I haven't done this and don't really want to.

So I've actually completed 25/26 and yet I haven't got the badge, you can even check my profile to see that I've crafted a badge and you'll still see that it hasn't registered in the CA requirements. Am I blatantly missing something?

There's been an absolute flood of these kinds of threads in the past couple of days.

I'm going to assume that there's simply a problem with the detection of some of these tasks required for the badge and you're simply going to have to wait until it gets fixed, I'm afraid. Maybe try again once every couple of days to see if it has been fixed yet?

Seems like they take some time to register, no surprise with all the new stuff being added.

I think the guide part you have to actually subscribe to a guide, and not just view it? I may be remembering wrong though.

The rest I don't know, could be what Frazer mentions

Yeah I tried subscribing to some guides and rating others up too, still doesn't seem to work! I think it's an error on steams part so it looks like me and others in my position will just have to wait for it to be fixed for now.

I did the guide one a few weeks ago, just had to look at one and didn't have to subscribe or anything. Not sure if it's changed since then or it is broken.

It's fixed for me now. :)

Did you do anything to fix it or was it on Steam's end?

spart Jul 5, 2013 @ 10:51pm

I didn't do anything I'm afraid. Try and complete the achievements again and see if they work this time.

Just browsing the available guides in steam overlay did the task for me couple of days ago.
