Description
[4.0.11] [3f89] I wasn't able to get achievements since 4.0.0-4.0.2 in my non-moded ironman game save
Game Version
[4.0.11] [3f89]
What version do you use?
Steam
What expansions do you have installed?
Do you have mods enabled?
No
Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Paragraph about the mechanics of blocking the receipt of achievements:
Since 4.0 players can obtain achievements in non-ironman games. According to these changes, using a console forbids players from obtaining achievements.
A few days after 4.0 release (May 8) I was asked to check how exactly saves are protected now.
forum.paradoxplaza.com
I created a new game, made a save, used the console for a small change, and made a second save. I Compared both save files using notepad++ and Compare plugin.
There were 2 changes:
"cheated_on_save=no" => yes
and 1 more entry was removed:
achievement=
{
27 40 43 45 49 50 53 61 67 68 75 102 110 111 114 117 118 120 126 127 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 159 160 161 163 164 168 169 175 181 183 184 192 193 194 195 196 197
}
Without the last (or both) part you will not be able to receive achievements. To check your save file you need to unzip save file, open gamestate file using Notepad++, open search (Ctrl+F) and type "clusters=". Achievement part should be right above it (example in attachments).
Bug part:
Because of the 4.0 release state every time I took a break I made a manual copy of my ironman save just in case.
Today I decided to edit my last save file to turn ironman off, and I also decided to check if everything is alright with achievement just in case.
To my big surprise in my 2326 year save achievement entry was missing. I decided to check when this problem appeared. I checked my first save (created on May 5 (22:00 +3) in 4.0.2 patch) and this entry was missing even there!
And I am totally sure it's not my fault, because I took no actions with the file, because I didn't even know how the new system works (so I stayed away), and also there was no need to do it.
No mods were used in first few days of game.
So for whatever reason my first game I started in 4.0 blocked my ability to receive achievements for the entire run.
When I added "achievement= { ... }" part back to the save and loaded the game, I got "Smörgåsblorg" achievement (Obtain DNA from six phenotypes as an empire with the Evolutionary Predators origin).
I have almost all phenotypes except toxoids, so i am totally sure i would receive this achievement a week+ ago.
Steps to reproduce the issue.
I can't reproduce this bug (i tried to create a new game with my empire in 4.0.1 branch, play for 5 years - no problem).
I will include my empire in a txt file (russian names) just in case.
Steps to identify the bug:
Start a new game with ironman (Evolutionary Predators?), play for a some time (5-10-25 years), create a save
Unzip save file, open gamestate file using notepad++
search (Ctrl+F) for "clusters="
look above it, you should see "achievement= { }" if everything is ok.
How to fix your save:
Start a new game, make a save. Open gamestate file (using instruction above), find "clusters=" and copy "achievement={1 2 3... }" block, insert it into your broken save gamestate file above "clusters=".
Check screenshot in the attachments to see how it should looks like.
Save it and then archive both files in to Save file using instruction https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Save-game_editing#Compression_on_Windows
