Re: [CLOSED] EA/Steam Achievements Not Unlocking for Various Games Since Oct. '23

@p1nklemonad3  Judging be responses from @Galabrok and @Hooffll it seems that problem is not limited to Catalyst but also affects other games (maybe even all of them?), so my guess is that they'll fix this rather sooner than later.

Regarding achievements I initially had problem with "I Saw You On The Battlefield" but it unlocked the moment I started game through Origin so chances that you'll have to do them again are pretty low.

Regarding Orign, I just launched it and started a game through it. Note that you have to have game license on EA App/Origin to do it. Achievements are tracked "per game" and on server side so it doesn't matter on what license you unlock it. I have not tried it with Steam license. There are easy to google tutorials how to install and run Origin this days, you need full offline installer and "Origin 2023 fix". I don't want to post links here because EA team is constantly trying to make Origin not usable so I don't want to make their task easier 😉

    TBH i dont think we need workaround :D its not our job to make workarounds for playing games comfortably. If developer push to release untested product its their job to fix this ASAP @EA_Leeuw

    I'd rather hope so! I had pretty low hope considering this game is almost ten years old now, but this does make me feel better.

    I'm a bit scorned haha, just had a terrible experience installing the original Mirror's Edge from CD last week on a retro XP rig. Upon googling it seems the activation servers have been down for their old games since 2018 and they haven't bothered to fix them, leaving every game that uses them effectively a shiny disc of worthlessness. Supposedly an updated DLL fixes it, but I wasn't able to get it to work -- I presume this update was designed for newer machines so if you want to run on older hardware you're out of luck. Didn't leave me with a ton of faith in them, lol.
