Dead Space 3 achievements not trigger (at all)
Hello!
I just started my playthrough of Dead Space 3. Originally I had it on Steam w Awakened DLC. So, it forced me to install and log in using Steam ID in EA app. Fine.
Then I played. And played, and played. And then I found out that none achievements are present in Steam. I look in EA - also none. But I`m already in the middle of the story, I definitely have "Survived the space walk" (Space Odyssey achievement), "Completed the Prologue" (Stranger in a Strange Land) and many others. See the attached screenshot
I tried to search forums, but it looks like people are having issues with getting specific achievements, while I cannot get any.
What can be the problem? What is my checklist to troubleshoot?
It could be relevant - my EA app overlay is turned off, also it is counting my "in-game time" as 8 minutes (but it sets "in-game" status in EA app, while I'm playing), while it is 8 hours in Steam. And Im playing on Win11 Pro 24H2, intel i5-10th, SSD, RTX 3060.
It is so stupid, but I found a solution
I found out that achievements are not counting in the game itself. So probably it couldnt connect to smth to verify game progess. So, I tried to launch it udner VPN, and it hang a little on start inside the game with "wait, connecting to the ..."
Then I switched EA into offline mode (to eliminate sound goes 100 bug; I found this solution on another topic). When game has loaded me into the save, I switched back into online mode.
And only then achievements started going. But anyway I didnt get any of achievements from the start of the game
