Not getting any achievements for victory

[dshirk]

Thanks Gyhtha, taking a look.

Thanks Gyhtha, taking a look.

Can someone check mine too.
I posted it on previous page, post #17.
Thanks.

Also I am now playing a new game with the same leader and I am pushing for the same (emancipation) victory. To see if it might unlock this time. I'll let you know once when I am done.

And I am still getting those updates true Steam Achievement about how many aliens I killed or how many tiles I both etc.

Looks like this save had a turn limit as well (from a previous play through perhaps?). The bug is that if you go into advanced settings and remove the value (if you had it set this way from a previous game), and then go back to do the rest of the seeded start, then the change is ignored. If you change the value, and then start the game from WITHIN Advanced Setup, the state is properly cleared. Otherwise the game does not want to forget.

We've got a fix for this. As an aside, we also need to communicate to the player that if max turns is set, then victory achievements cannot be unlocked.

That said, if you are experiencing this, but have NEVER set max turns, then I would like to see that save as well. Thanks much all!

I know what the problem is. I know for a FACT when I made the game, I had Max Turns disabled, BUT, according to the Steam boards, if you Reset the Map/Regenerate it on turn 1, it disables the achievements. Guess what I had done with that save? The other side of things that it also seems to do is turn on Max Turns, because that was only my second game, and I've never, ever turned on Max Turns myself. That's honestly all I can figure, given I never turn it on myself, and others on the Steam forums are all noticing the exact same situations. Not sure who Gyhtha is by the way

If I may make a quick suggestion on testing: Create a new game with Max Turns off, and save. Generate a new map, and then save the game again. Check if the pre-regenerated map has max turns enabled, and then check if the post-regenerated map has max turns. From what Steam has managed to piece together, and what I've experienced, the Reset map will have Max Turns enabled, and thus, will not let you gain achievements. Is this intended?

 

[Gradac]

I never touched max turns or any other custom set ups.

I might restarted this game on turn one, I am not sure.

Just to say that I finished my new game with Daoming and I got 3 achievements at the end: Wining as PAC, Winning by Emancipation and Winning by all possible victories.

So it seems that it works now for me.

Is this true?

I always use regenerate map to get a nice start. I have just finish my first victory (contact) and got none achievement, should had got 5 (contact, diff, map, size and leader)

 

[Monado]

Should have finished quite a few achievements here:
1. Win as Koslov
2. Achieve Promise Land
3. Achieve one of each victory
4. Win on a Skirmish Map
5. Win on a tiny map (I"m assuming "tiny" is mislabeled and is "dwarf" in game cause its the only size I have yet to finish)
6. Win on all map types and sizes.

-I have yet to even go into advanced settings on any game, including this save.
-I did reload a new map this game. I don't recall if I did on my other five completed games (which have netted me 75% of the achievments so far)

During the game, I was getting points towards a few of the other achievements, for example, "buy 1000 tiles", "kill X aliens" "Kill X alien nests". Right now if I load up autosave turn 191 and buy 10 tiles or so, i'll get a steam update telling me I just hit X amount. (Both saves attached)

I figured the problem was that I lost connection to steam (like someone noted earlier) but I've reloaded the save a few times (knowing my connection is fine) and still nothing...besides ruining my nice looking hall of fame page, which I've compulsively have had to delete

I don't understand why some achievements are working while others are not. Any way to fix this?

Definitly linked to the map restart then. On the save I provided, I did restart the map on the begining.

 

[Teao]

I had this problem on my second victory. My first game got achievements fine. I've never touched the max turns setting. I *did* use the map restart button on turn 1 for this game.

I just re-ran a game, buy this time, I clicked "Exit To Main Menu" instead of Restart when I wasn't fond of the start map, and this time, at victory, I did indeed get the achievements I was intended to receive. I, personally, am leaning towards the issue being the Restart Map button now fully.

Good find. We'll take a look down that path.

I played with the same setting but didn't regenerate map on turn 1 (restart game). Result => no problem to get the 5 achievement, this is a bug.

I've got exactly the same issue as outlined in all the other posts and I think this solution (Restart Map on turn 1) is the one - I have been into Advanced Setup but not touched anything like victory types, max turns etc. I'm almost certain that I have restarted the map on each occasion though.

Currently hunting for the latest save file to attach.

<edit>File, 1 turn from Transcendence attached</edit>

Monado and nick-brown, thank you for the saves. However, all the saves you provided have Max Turns enabled, so it looks like that is still the problem in those particular games.

 

[dshirk]

We've found the problem, and it is related to Restart. Thanks so much to you guys for the extra feedback.

I think the point is that clicking Restart Map causes Max Turns to get set - I can assure you that I've never been anywhere near it. (Also FYI I have had achievements on other games with the same settings).

This actually explains a similar experience that I had with 5 when I first completed Deity so suggest the issue may be in some legacy code (reading articles on the code base, I understand that you utilise it heavily).

I've made a very deliberate point not to Restart Map on this Apollo play-through so will be interested to see the results - I will of course feed them back. (FYI having to go to the menu now to restart properly gets tiresome quickly)

Excellent - can I have my Apollo achievement set retrospectively please? ;-)

hey there,

sorry if the following has already been asked but I couldnt find anything about my problem... so here we go

I've spent my holidays with heaps of Beyond earth and I really enjoy it so far. Strangely, while I have already gotten some achievements via steam none of the victory achievements (leader, difficulty, map type, victory condition) seem to be awarded. Is this a known issue or is there any known fix for that? In my last game I got another achievemnt pretty much two turns before finishing the game so I can rule out that my connection broke.

Also, I dont seem to be awarded Steam trading cards for playing. With a bit over 50 hrs played I have not a single card and the steam client says that I have no drops remaining...pretty weird.

Any thoughts or hints on this? Thanks in advance guys!

Welcome to CivFanatics!

The issue with achievements not firing is a known problem and will be addressed in a future patch. I'm merging this thread this thread with one in the CivBE Bug Reports forum. I hope someone else can help you with the Steam trading card issue, but you might have better luck in the Steam forums.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Thanks for the welcome..been lurking here for ages but finally got around to making an account
After merging the thread i checked the other comments..looks like it might be related to reloading the maps..I tend to do that a lot to avoid starts that might force me to play purity (for the hive!

Guess i'll just wait for a fix. Thanks guys!
