Stardew Valley gameplay isn't being logged?

[laurenxgrly]

I bought stardew nearly a month ago, and I've played over 70 hours on my save file as well as completed most of the achievements, but steam says I haven't played since the day I bought it and that I've only played 4 hours on it. It also hasn't given me any of the achievements that I have in the game, does anyone know why this has happened and how i can fix it?

If you're playing with the client in offline mode that's why. Offline mode won't record hours played or register achievements completed - because it's offline, steam can't see what you've done.

If you're playing with the client online it's possible it's another bug introduced with the latest public (not beta) client update. Several issues have been being reported since then. They're surely working on a fix. At least lets hope they are. Whether we've opted in to the beta version of the client or not it's helpful to report issues like this, at least so we're sure Valve knows about it, in the beta group discussions or by submitting a ticket to the help system.

It's common to not get a reply from a dev on the beta discussions and it's common to get a scripted reply the person that answers copy/pasted saying "contact the game's developer" in the help section. If you submit a ticket to the help system and get a lame reply like that remind them that this is an issue with Steam's system, not the game.
