Summary0001090: Achievement Reporting (In-game and Steam) Incorrect
DescriptionAfter unlocking LotS and having a game, all previously achieved achievements are showing green (in-game completed) but without the "yes" to state whether they were on Steam or not (This behaviour was not present in past beta builds of 4.x)

Additionally, the newly earned achievements (relating to both the Hive plots and the 2 new LotS AI types are showing green (earned in-game) and also marked "yas" for being processed by Steam, when they are not live on Steam as-yet.

Linked to 0000996 as it's most likely a final spit-and-polish excersise prior to LotS launching to fix them both in one go.

Is this happening when you launch the game through Steam? As in, does the Steam overlay still work when it's doing this, etc? I'm at a loss as to why this specific thing would start happening, we haven't changed anything related to it.

[Screengrab attached]
I always run the game through Steam (Except when the Interwebs connection dies), even after running the updater tool I re-launch from Steam to make sure that all Steamworks bits are loaded in.

I started on a 3.x install, progressed to the 4.0 beta and now running everything on the current beta builds, all within the Steam directory and launched from Steam (But of course the 4.0 beta didn't have Steamworks integration).

Steam overlay and registering of achievements on Steam has not failed, purely the fact some are registered on Steam and have lost the register in-game (in the screenie, the scrapped and time based achievements)

Humm, that is super odd. I'll see what I can figure out.

The CoN and LotS achievements have now been added on the steam side, so hopefully this is taken care of :)

leb0fh -- please do let us know if you still see it, but I think the problem was that the achievements weren't all in steam.

I still have the issue of some achievements are flagged as complete on Steam and not in-game (Which at the end of the day is cosmetic only, not game-breaking!).
But all the new achievements have triggered correctly at least :)

Screenshot dated 14th Feb demonstrates the same issue to a greater extent - this is after applying my LOTS key into Steam - it re-downloads some file(s) (the toast popup registers updates for the base and both previous expansions as having been downloaded) and voila - no in-game achievements recognised, but the Steam registration remains.

NINJA EDIT: I know if/then forks based purely on whether the Steam libraries are loaded is messy, but I'm guessing a reverse of the usual code would work?
If(flagged on SteamCommunity) then update game board <<with time/date if applicable?>>

Based on thread (linked below) this issue can be closed as it's now part of an anti-achievement-cheat-thingy.
