Problem with Profile Features Limited Achievements

[Zack]

Hello everyone, I apologize if I disturb you all, but I would like to ask something.

Profile Features Limited tagged games aren't eligible to appear in showcase and doesn't contribute global achievement or game collector counts on Steam Profile.

I played MUCK last year, a free game with Profile Features Limited tag. I claimed some achievements from my previous play. Now, I noticed that those achievements were counted on my profile's global achievement. MUCK achievements weren't supposed to be included to my profile since the Profile Features Limited tag is still there on the Store Page, but it did.

Anybody have the same problem as mine? Is there a way to fix this? Thank you in advance.

Every game no matter it is family shared or it has limited tag once you unlock achievement it will be saved in your profile. If you want to remove achievements its actually easy, just download SAM "steam achievemnts manager" (from github). SAM has option of unlock/remove achievements

Thanks. Looks like I'll just temporarily stop hunting achievements until it goes back to normal, just to be safe. If it doesn't fix, I'll force myself to hunt remaining achievements on that game.

Nah, I never use SAM, but thanks anyway.

Two problems with that.
First, apparently it won't actually change how many achievements you actually unlocked in the game. So even if you remove them, the system will still count you as having earned them in your overall achievement numbers. For example, if you earned 3/20 (15%), removing the achievements won't change that 3/20 (15%). That's stuck there, and the number can only go up.
Second, since removing the achievements doesn't alter the games achievement data you might find all the removed achievements re-awarded the next time you play or the achievements might be impossible to unlock in the future since the game believes it was already awarded.

I know the rules, but there is other thing. I dont remember game was family shared or limited, when i removed achievements through SAM, it decrease achievements showcase number

OP- I've had this happen occasionally with Profile Features Limited games. Server hiccups like Hennix said. I usually see it happen right after Tuesday server maintenance.
Usually it will clear up on its own (can take some time), or it will clear up once you unlock another achievement in a game that is not Profile Features Limited.
