Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start Apex on Steam and log in with an origin account that already had a few achievements

    HI @TilmitderBrill ,

    During game-play, you can now complete certain objectives and unlock achievements as a result. Achievement progress is retroactive, meaning if you’ve completed the objective already in Origin or Steam, you’ll be granted the achievement in Steam.

    The only restriction is that the achievements won't transfer until you actually install and run the game in question—simply purchasing and having it in your library won't trigger it.

    Hopefully, that will help you with your question

    Cheers

    Approx 2 weeks ago, I´ve installed APEX via Steam and started playing there.

    At 1st start, there were some badges incoming, but there are still some missing. At this time, I´m at 8 of 12 in Steam - in Origin I´m complete since november 2020.

    Even if I met the requirements while playing via Steam the achievement is not given - i.e. reviving team mates, what i did several times yesterday...

    So it would be nice to give the sync a push or something anyhow... ^^

  • @MysticMagican Same problem for me, 8/12 Achivements have made it to Steam almost instantly. Yet i am missing only 4 on Steam while having them all on Origin. Don't know if there is way to get them yet without having to redo them. if so please contact me.
