Hello everyone,

since Garou got upgraded to the Code Mystic version, the GOG Galaxy achievements to not work anymore. Does anyone has the same problem? The in-game achievements work fine, but nothing on GOG Galaxy.

I messaged the support team twice already, but they didn't responded (after they told me the problem would be forwarded to the responsible tech guy).

I know it's been a while, but did you get any response? I recently got the game with a friend of mine and none of us have gotten the GOG achievements.

I think they asked for more details, but then nothing happened. I think there was even a small update for the game. But it hasn't changed since for me.

Maybe it's related to Galaxy update. There were reports of some achievements not working after the big 2.0 update of the client a good while ago. Maybe they changed something in their sdk that might break cheevos for some games, depending on their implementation. Just my guess, because I remember CodeMystics saying that the problem is not on their end.

No, that is not the problem. The game now contains more achievements than only the DotEmu ones. The old ones are listed as [DotEmu] in the Galaxy overview and the other ones are new since they upgraded to Code Mystic.

I think the DotEmu achievements can only be unlocked by playing that version through some rollback in Galaxy. But I haven't tried that.

The new ones should work with the current version, but sadly they don't. At least for me and some other people. But I never heard from anyone here in the forum that they actually work, so I assume they are broken for everyone.

That's true - the old dotemu achievements are obtainable after rollback to their last version. Or so the CM representative said after the patch. I haven't tried myself though. Are the CM's achievements all broken? Like even the easiest/basic ones to obtain? If you want, I can give it a try.

I finished the story mode a couple of times with Terry and that achievement (called "OK!") didn't unlock. But that in game achievment/artwork did unlock, so I know I completed the necessary condition for it. That is probably the most basic one in the game. Big thank you for the help!

This seems like a technical issue. Probably worth bringing up to Code Mystics themselves in their forums: https://www.codemystics.com/forum/index.php

Had contact with one of their Devs here in the forum when I experienced the issue the first time. He said it is a Galaxy related problem.

What's up!? The problem was solved? I'm still playing the DotEmu version to get your achievements, so I'm going to go to the Code Mystics version. However, this news dismayed me.

If the problem is on the Galaxy, it would be interesting for people to get in touch with GOG support. If everyone gets in contact together, the chance of them actually trying to solve the problem is much greater.

Haven't played in a couple of weeks. But as far as I know, the problem still exists.

It's been a while, but there seem so to be no chance that this will ever get fixed by gog. After poking around a bit, the game seems to call the gog server to auth the user at launch, then it loads your data like unlocked gallery entries, leaderboards and unlocked achievements. If it can't establish the connection, the leaderboards and achievements sections will be unavailable and all the gallery entries will be relocked (tested this with offline installer, w/o galaxy, w/o connection).

I've tried all the available CM builds, cleared the game in online mode launched via galaxy on each single build with the same exact result: Achievement unlocks in-game (no pop-up in the client), gallery entries unlock too although they seem inconsistent (e.g. Tizoc sometimes unlocks sometimes not, despite it's a guaranteed story matchup with Butt). After I quit the game and relaunch it, it goes back to the previous state with all the changes being lost.

I've tried with cloud saves both off and on, no change. Somewhere on the gog server is my garou user database that's either corrupt (some gallery entries are unlocked, no achievements though), or the whole system doesn't work as intended at all. I understand that this way of dealing with player data/progress is quite unorthodox for gog (no local save files it seems, except for config/settings). However it's annoying since on steam it works exactly the same way, with a difference that it actually does work (their server is saving the progress, triggering achievements, etc).

I might try to finish the game with another character or two just to see if any new gallery unlock "sticks", but it won't solve the problem with achievements. I have no idea how to reach anyone from gog tech support who knows the backend and/or is able to check/fix issues on that level.

A small update:

4 achievements unlocked in the current CM build, namely 3 Online achievements (Legendary Wolf, Mark of the Wolves, The mighty rule) and 1 singleplayer achievement for completing the survival mode. They unlocked correctly in galaxy client too, so they are not completely busted as I previously thought.

Story related achievements behave as written in the previous post, along with 1cc story clear... i.e. broken. Haven't tried all the characters though.

No idea about dotemu cheevos, but I reckon they mostly should work just fine with its respective gog-1 build. I'll test them at some point too.


Update #2:

Cheevo for clearing the game as Tizoc in story mode mysteriously unlocked, however not after clearing the game... but ~1 hour later, while waiting in the lobby for a buddy to host an online match. The other cheevos didn't unlock in that session, nor was I ever able to replicate that with other cheevos. Go figure I guess.

Update #3: At last got em all recently, except that "All characters(dotemu)" which was removed from global stats, but my galaxy client still has it cached it seems as I can see it being listed and locked.
Switching between dotemu and cm versions made me realize how bad the former is in regards to dropped frames, dropped input, pacing etc, making the game overall less responsive and considerably harder to play!
