NFS HEAT achievement system broken

got the same issue. no achievements since 17th of october ☹️

Hi @EA_Illium,
Thanks for the steps you've provided thus far, I completed them all aside from reinstalling C++ fresh and they have helped me gain most of the achievements since this issue occurred. I was able to claim my Discovery event race achievement by recompleting the race. I also was able to obtain all the drift/speed/jump activity achievements by 3 starring a jump, which seemed to trigger the system to identify the drift and speed completed activities as well.

I am however still having an issue with the achievements of completing the graffiti and smashing signs. Since I have picked up all of the graffiti and smashed all the signs while the achievements were not working, I have no way to make the system trigger to check.

Do you have any additional suggestions to help? I really have no intention on restarting this game and not seeing a different way yet to rectify this. I'll keep looking and will update if I come across anything but I'd appreciate any support I can get here. Screenshot attached showing completed graffiti/sign smashing but uncompleted achievement. Thank you!

Regards,
Titanius

I did all steps from EA few days ago and it didn't help me. My achievement for smashing all signs did not appear. Today I saw FOST4R's post, so I did my last long jump (I was waiting witch this once I heard achievements are not working). Achievement didn't pop either. So I decided to try one last time to verify game and recover EA app. After few minutes of roaming around in game achievement for smashing all signs poped just by itself! (On my way out of garage I smashed again that one sign that is close by. Achievement didn't pop after that so I am not sure if it was necessary step). After this I tried long jump again and, as in FOST4R's game, all three achievements for activities appeard. Funny thing is I didn't complete drift and speed activities! Just long jump. But I am not complaining.

TLDR: Achievements are working again (if you verify game and recover EA app again).

Played NFS Heat earlier tonight via Steam. Didn't unlock any achievements. Tried a few things, like beating a speed trap with 3 stars and Comeback Kid.

So I shutdown the game and deleted the 1222680 folder in steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/

Before restarting the game Steam installs the necessary components again. (I'm on linux, so Proton sets this up)

Tried playing again and unlocked a few achievements after beating the first speedtrap. By doing this I got Full Send, Drift Drift Drift, Be the very Best, The Brightest Stars and Warp Speed.

I had to go into an online lobby for the game to detect I had done all the billboards, street art and flamingo's, which gave me those achievements right away.

So everything seems to work again. =)

Still missing two secret ones for Roshni and Dex's races, so might have to start a new game for those.

Thanks for the help and info under this topic.

I had the same issue. What seemed to work was:

1. uninstalling the game via Steam

2. deleting the NFS Heat Steamfolder "...\steamapps\common\Need for Speed Heat"

3. resetting the EA App

4. installing the game again via Steam

Start the game, do some activities and the achievments should pop right up. If you already completed campaign and storymissions, they have to be redone with a new savefile.
