Hey, everyone
So achievements are going to be interesting to deal with due to a lot of factors
- Game Data
- Platform
- Syncing
- Achievements being "removed"
- Corrupted saves
- Mods being used - i.e. Skyrim for example will disable them as soon as you use a mod
Let's break this down.
- Have we started over? I know it's a pain!
- Have we reloaded previous chapters?
- Have we reloaded previous saves to redo the requirements?
- If in Steam, have we repaired, uninstalled the game, or tried through another profile if we can?
Once we eliminate all of the above, I need a bunch of info from a lot of players to get eyes on this. The older the game is the fewer resources you have to get people to look at it. Especially when it is on another platform than the EA app.
Hey there.
I went through your suggestions (much obliged btw!)- Have we started over?
- Have we reloaded previous chapters?
- Have we reloaded previous saves to redo the requirements?
- If in Steam, have we repaired, uninstalled the game, or tried through another profile if we can?
Yes to all of them (multiple times) Still no joy.
The achivments that seem to not be activating for me are:
1. Epic Tier 4 engineer (Finish the game in classic mode)
2. Survivalist (Finish the game in pure survival mode)
3. Aren't you thankful? (Finish the game in hardcore mode)
4. Supercharger (Finish charging the reactor in under 90 seconds)
Everything else works fine
Let me know what infomation you need to help get this fixed!Thanks in advance

@markymark71190 I appreciate it!
@Boombrb @Archibald163 @RoomierOhio39 Can i get the info from you as well?
Hey @EA_Shepard
Followed by some of your recommendations and there are my results.
First of all please note that in my case 2 achievements are unobtainable: Supercharger (Finish charging the reactor in under 90 seconds) and Survivalist (Complete the game in Pure Survival Mode). I've got the rest of the achievements with no problems even Pure Lunacy (Complete Awakened in Pure Survival Mode).First about the Supercharger
- Have we started over? Yes, I started over in different regimes with no luck.
- Have we reloaded previous chapters? Yes, not even chapters, but the make us whole game on the same account.
- Have we reloaded previous saves to redo the requirements? Yes, I have 4 saves (normal, survival, classic and hardcore) and tried on 3 of them.
- If in Steam, have we repaired, uninstalled the game, or tried through another profile if we can? Yes to repaired, uninstalled the game but I am not quite certain about another profile. Would be grateful if you specify.
Now about the Survivalist
- Have we started over? Yes, but whenever I create a new slot in-game popup appears saying that I've finished Pure Survival Mode. It's important to note that the very same popup appeared first time when I had only 2 game slots (normal, hardcore) during my Hardcore play but I didn't even started a Pure Survival Mode at all.
- Have we reloaded previous chapters? Yes, full Survival cycle and last chapter a few times.
- Have we reloaded previous saves to redo the requirements? Yes
- If in Steam, have we repaired, uninstalled the game, or tried through another profile if we can? Yes to repaired, uninstalled the game but I am not quite certain about another profile. Would be grateful if you specify.
Achievements are not unlocked in my EA application nor in Steam and in-game //pause -> ///achievements section. Check the attached images below please

Cheers!
Hi. This is the achievement I'm having trouble with - ''Aren't you thankful?'' (Finish the game in hardcore mode).
- Platform - Steam.
- Syncing - When I installed dead space 3 on steam and activated it, steam automatically gave me around 90% of the achievements from ea app since I had dead space 3 achievements on origin from years ago.
- Corrupted saves - Its possible that the data on EA cloud from when I played the game on origin are corrupted. For example when I make a clean save it gives me multiple pop ups, one of them being the hardcore completion pop up telling me I have unlocked retro mode for hardcore completion, but I don't have the hardcore achievement.
- Mods being used - No mods.
- Have we started over? - No, however I did see a post from steam dead space 3 discussions tab a person said they did 2 full hardcore playthroughs and still didn't get the achievement (At the top ''I went through hardcore mode for the 2nd time, but the achievement never dropped, even though the reward for completing it was there. Has anyone had a similar situation?'' by OP https://steamcommunity.com/app/1238060/discussions/0/4299322040763224149 ). Doing a full hardcore playthrough on a new save file for a second time just to not get the achievement, would be sad when I'm convinced this achievement is hard broken, as other people are also stating they are not getting the achievement. Not to mention the many hours it would take, plus not accounting the time loss of dying mid playthrough as this is one life mode and needing to start over.
- Have we reloaded previous chapters? - Yes, I have replayed the entire chapter from 'chapter select' and finished the game, but no effect.
- Have we reloaded previous saves to redo the requirements? - Previous hardcore saves? I only had the one. Unless you meant exiting mid game while playing and continuing from last checkpoint which I did try but still no achievement. Also on hardcore mode the checkpoint restart option is grayed out.
- If in Steam, have we repaired, uninstalled the game, or tried through another profile if we can? - In steam I have uninstalled and verified the integrity of cache, and replayed the final chapter, no effect. I don't have another profile.
Thank you for looking in to this!

@markymark71190 I have seen chatter on it, but there are more achievements for this and other IPs that are having issues. I saw it online on a few other sites as well.
I asked about it, but it seems to be a larger issues and not just with DS!
