Q: AS installed but achievements don't unlock on Steam
« on: October 20, 2012, 01:06:17 pm »
Just passing this along; there's a question/problem on the Steam hub with regards to AS being activated but achievements not registering on Steam;
http://steamcommunity.com/app/40400/discussions/0/882963520618256911/

"With the latest version + ancient shadows installed. The achievements I unlock don't trigger anymore on steam. I made sure I had a good connection, that the steam overlay was working and all. But still any achievement I get unlocks fine ingame, but doesn't unlock in steam anymore."
I'd take a sea worm any time over a hundred emotionless spinning carriers.

...crud, my bad. 

Or maybe the post was being cloak boosted by a stealth post.

Np, Spikey :)  Better to know about it twice than not at all.

I've never gotten my "post on steam forums" ability to work quite right, could you pass on to that steamforums thread what I asked in the tech-support thread he started here?  To wit:

Odd, I don't know why that would be.

Can anyone else confirm this is happening (or, rather, also-not-happening) to them?
Have ideas or bug reports for one of our games? Mantis for Suggestions and Bug Reports. Thanks for helping to make our games better!

Repost:

If it helps at all, I think Steamworks integration isn't working at all. It used to say something like "Steamworks enabled" under the version number if I launch it through Steam, but now it doesn't.

EDIT: The pop-up UI thingy that lets you chat and other things still works if I hit the shortcut key, but IIRC, that can work even for games that aren't using Steamworks (like I got it to work for Starcraft II).
