Its an open source Steam Achievements Manager for Linux and theres a new release out recently.

Ive never heard of anyone having an issue though, and since you can unlock achievements so easily it would seem pretty odd if Valve ever actually intervened.

After discovering Linux back in the days of Mandrake in 2003, I constantly came back to check on the progress of Linux until Ubuntu appeared on the scene and it helped me to really love it.

My user case is the last Dying Light achievement: Be the last standing at the end of Bozak trial.

Anyway it turns out Ive done that at least 4 times now, with lovely people who played way too many hours but I can not steal more solid ours from them for them to help me get a bugged achievement.

There are whacky faith strategies all over the net to increase your chances to get the achievement even though each time your fulfilling the actual condition.

Steam Achievement Manager Code Not So

Those strategies doesnt work obviously, as a game developer I suspect a bug in the netcode not so obvious or easy to fix but it aint nothing to do with such things as crouch 4 times, turn around, sing a song, and crappy BS.

Ive pretty much done everything in this game, met nice and awkward people, but now it actually is holding a few dozens GB on my SSD and yet Im here debating if I deserve this achievement or not.

I have a few other examples: - Dead Rising 2 TIR netcode crashes the game (I manage to unlock the achievements following a very specific procedure which is a pain but still).

Red Faction: Guerilla, last event up north was never available so you were missing one mission out of your 60h game save.

Yes it was on Xbox360 but I havent gone through the remaster for this very reason.

Borderlands 2: all arch symbols on slot machine.

I spent a few hundred hours on the game, this achievement is totally random and you have a 0.02 chance to get it (provided you have money to spend in the machine) which is roughly one over 5000 tries.

Jet Set Radio: use all graffitis in missions.

Steam Achievement Manager Update To Update

I have the achievements for all soul spirits, meaning I unlocked all graffitis, I just had to use them but since then, I lost my save as this game is known to corrupt saves from update to update.

Currently I think I still wont use it, but I might consider from now on that if I deem I earned an achievement and it is bugged, I will manually unlock it.

While its not particularly harmful and game-breaking for anyone else, it still skews global achievement statistics which are useful for real achievement hunters.

And IMO buggy achievements are not an excuse for such tools - bugs should be reported to developers, not workarounded by essentially cheating tool which breaks stats for everyone.

Ah, time to update I first heard about SAM from the previous post on it here some months ago and checked it out.

Ive used it to unlock a few achievements which Ive definitely fulfilled but were bugged and didnt fire, such as the achievement for playing a game on an archipelago map in Civilization V, which is broken.

Its really nice to be able to unlock those few achievements which have been taunting with their unattainability.

I have to agree that this thing feels like a pure cheating app, even if in most cases youd just be cheating yourself out of the chanse of earning the achievments honestly.

Even using it to unlock achievments that simply failed to unlock due to a glitch.would still kind of feel like cheating to me.
