Re: [EA app] Mass Effect - Legendary Edition - Achievements don't unlock

@LiannaDrake Question: Since I noticed that deleting the profile has, in fact, reset the achievements on that in game desk option (yes, I made the back up so I didn't actually lose progress in this play through), I do have to ask. Will I have to do this for EVERY time I load up the game? Because if so, there is absolutely no way I can get the Paramore III achievement... I won't have a day where I can just blast through all three games, and romance someone in all three.

Also, you mentioned that this was due to a "corrupted save." Would just starting over fresh fix this? I.E. A new playthrough, or has anyone tried that, and still gotten no luck already, and I just haven't come across that yet?

@Fives_Of_Iron I can confirm that this work around is working. For now, at least...

@Fives_Of_Iron You only need to repeat steps 2-4 to keep earning your achievements. I have edited my post to clarify that.

The idea is to prevent the EA app from downloading the game profile that tracks your achievements, which happens when you launch one of the games from the ME Launcher. It is not the playthrough save that is corrupt but the Profile file so a new game will not fix it. I also believe that the cross game achievements are tracked in the trilogy profile file because I still kept my progress on achievements like the three Insanity and Bruiser trophies after wiping my ME2 profile. What will happen is, when the Paramour achievement triggers you will see a notification in-game for Paramour I, II and III at the same time and the EA app/Steam will show you earned Paramour III.
