Potential Broken Achievements Fix

Potential Fix for achievements not working after installing workshop mods.

Main Issue

Years ago after I installed so mods from the workshop, I realized I wasn't able to earn steam achievements anymore. It seemed like it didn't matter what I tried. Besides removing the mods and making sure that cheats were disabled in the launcher, I have tried uninstalling the game, logging out and back into Steam, and even after getting a brand new computer it still didn't work.

If this sounds like the problem you've been having, I could have a potential fix.

Fix

Now I'm not sure if this is what fixed my issue, so if it doesn't work for you don't come at me.

Here's the step-by-step, but I suggest you read the first section of the guide to ensure you are having the same issue.

• In you're library, go to the settings of the game by clicking the little gear and click "Properties"
  
• Then go to the "Local Files" section and click "Browse"
  
• Check integrity of the files, it should comeback without issue. If it doesn't, stop here and google this specific issue.
  
• Open the "Modules" folder and delete the file named "steam_workshop_items.xml"
  
• You're done! Hopefully you should be able to get some achievements now.

Good Luck, Have Fun

No need for deleting "steam_workshop_items.xml" for me

Ok. I just checked the intergrity of the files. That solved the problem. I can get achievements even while playing modded.

Will try, I'll be back if it works
