I Have A Bad Feeling About This - achievement questions

[Tirulii]

5. I Have A Bad Feeling About This
Complete the first "episode" of the Fallen Spire progression with 2 Diff 10 AIs and 8 Human Homeworlds.

When I have completed the first episode?
Does the achievement unlock immediately when I have done certain quest or do I need to finish the AIs?
Is there certain game settings (else than enabling cheats) which might prevent me from getting this achievement?

I have tried to get this three times and it hasn't unlocked and it starts to give me a headache. I've been able to build the first city hub but after that I get overwhelmed by ridiculous amount of AI troops and I'm surprised if I havent finished the first episode yet. Before I start trying this again I want to know if this achievement is even working and maybe someone gives useful hints. 



Offtopic:

Thanks for developers for making this game. I have played AI War over 200 hours and it still doesn't bore me. It's maybe the best strategy game I have ever played.

You mean you actually survived?  Goodness

If you actually got a city hub up then you're way past the first episode (which is basically just building the subspace receiver).  Do you have a save from before bringing the first shard back home that I could test with?

It worked fine when I tested it after adding the achievement, but something may have broken since then.

I made many (20-30) saves after that point and I deleted the first ones because I thought I dont need those anymore. 
Well I guess I can start a new one. I'll try to use easier settings so it will be faster. Unless "complete visibility" or "no enemy waves" prevents me from getting the achievement.
How I send the save file when I have it?

[keith.lamothe]

Those options don't prevent achievements, I don't think.  Though people have asked for "no enemy waves" to do so.

You can attach a save to a post on this forum (click "Additional Options" below the post text box when making a post, then use the "browse" button to pick the file, and then post).  We also have a bug tracker that also takes attachments:

Oh, if you have a save after building the receiver (however long later, as long as it's still alive) I can test at least one part of this.  It wouldn't be conclusive, but I might find the problem anyway.

Thanks

I made a fast run and tactic was simply get the shard as fast as possible so I used armored warheads. 

Save file is attached and the shard should be recovered within couple of seconds. I have other saves too if you need them.

Ok, thanks, I'll take a look when I get a chance

Ok, this should be fixed for 5.003, and should pick it up retroactively if you load a game where you've met the conditions (as long as your profile name equals the name of the player in that game).
