Alexim: Yeah, unfortunately I experienced this firsthand some time ago and added it to the list.
You can change the note to "All achievements have stopped working in version 2.0.3.ZERO, but still work in 2.0.2.ZERO" if you like.

Alexim: I haven't tried to downgrade because I don't know how many important updates are lost.
I assume there's no massive difference between such a small version increment, but I couldn't find a changelog so no way to tell for sure.

Alexim: This is the email I had found if you want to try it too:
I dropped them a line. I think I wanted to write them when the game launched with no achievements, but gave up because there's no e-mail listed on their site.

Do you know anyone who managed to get The Birds?
Edit: If you didn't before, you do now! I had to do most of the level without dying. It certainly cranks up the difficulty quite a bit, especially when you don't know it's a requirement.
If I had to venture a guess, I'd say the problem stems from the area in the attached screenshots. Normally, there are 3 birds in that spot. After dying and restarting from that checkpoint, there are only 2 birds. Presumably that makes it impossible to shoo away all the birds, making it the rarest achievement on all platforms.

Speaking of oddly low unlock rates, Weird West's 'Unforgiven', awarded for doing what the game directs you to do right at the start, has only 14.4% (Uncommon), whereas some that can't be gained without further play are Common. A bit of experimentation suggested the difficulty level may affect whether achievements unlock (normal yes, Story no), but I couldn't find anything that says the game disables achievements on Story difficulty, and some achievement guides seemed to indicate the opposite. Does anyone know whether this is expected behaviour, or whether it's a glitch and what I'm seeing with the difficulty level is a coincidence?
Newly released The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales's achievements are invisible until unlocked.

Edit: fixed now, thanks to Andrew Rumak (developer Do My Best).

Could it be that the recent update for Plague Tale Reqiuem broke Galaxy achievements? It only shows N/A on the achievements list.

There are a few rare comments on the Internet where someone says the achievement didn't work on the first go. Luckily it's at the beginning so I would say just start over in case.

It seems that the developers have changed the status of the achievements to "development" so they have become invisible to those who haven't yet unlocked them. This has happened with other games in the past when they added achievements for a DLC, free or paid.

Maybe some big update to the game is planned that they are still keeping secret? We'll see, otherwise it's just a mistake that they might correct soon.

Did anybody play the Entropy Centre yet?
I finished it, and none of the achievements popped up. Cannot say if it's an issue on my end or not... I tried to contact support, but the chatbot discouraged me.

In any case I have contacted Focus about it. Let's hope that this will get fixed soon.

Don't use the f*cking chatbot ... never! Use Stylus and this


div[data-default-form] {
display: block !important;
}

div[data-chat-wrap] {
display: none;
}

It also didn't work on the fourth go; since it is at the start I was able to test it multiple times. Self-Improvement didn't work initially either. Here Comes Santa Claus also didn't but I haven't tried it again yet.

Achievements certainly worked in at least some version of the game. You could contact the developers on their discord, surely that's much more productive than GOG's nonexistent support: https://discord.com/invite/68UeePEgz2

This is quite worrying, there are more and more GOG games that stop having working achievements after an update, let me know if you find that this is generalized to all achievements.

A lot of the Electrician Simulator achievements seem to be broken, most of them cumulative achievements probably suffering from the Galaxy API problems being discussed up the thread. They include:

Cables in Paris, Here Comes Electricity, Illuminator, That's Not Very Ecological, Unscrew You, Video Games Lover (yes, I have the secret mission so this should have triggered), and Wealthy Electrician.

Thanks, have you tried contacting the developers? The chances of them doing something are greater when it has been a short time since the release. If you use it, Gaming Factory has an official Discord server: https://discord.com/invite/kYpZmkBAgc

I really hope GOG does something because problems with this type of achievement are becoming more and more common.
My thanks to Andrew Rumak (developer Do My Best) for rendering the achievements of The Bookwalker visible. It took less than 30 minutes on Discord. It seems more and more that e-mail is often a waste of time in cases like these (publisher tinyBuild sent me an automated reply days ago, then nothing since).

Edit: I got a reply from tinyBuild today. It was an apology for the delay and a note that the report was passed on to the developer.

Yes, by now Discord is the best way to get in touch with developers assuming they use it, I have sent hundreds of emails and probably 80% of them have never been answered.

I'll try, but like I said, most of these problems are probably with the Galaxy API, so there's probably nothing they can do. Not sure about Wealthy Electrician and Video Games Lover, though, those don't seem like cumulative achievements, so hopefully they can fix those.
