Achievements overlay not shown in "Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP"
I can confirm this bug, but it happens only sometimes. The earned achievements are shown in the library, but not in the profile (see pictures).
This was my second attempt to play S: S&S EP already. The first time when I noticed this problem with the "We Got the Megatome" achievement I did not continue to play the game. As explained above the achievement was shown in the library, but not in the profile. When I logged into Steam the next day, the achievement had vanished from the library again, too. Today I tried to play the game again and this time everything went fine with the "We Got the Megatome" achievement. It is now shown both in the library and the profile, and also the overlay notification was shown. With the second and third achievement though, the bug occured again.
I just want to add that this time the achievements ("The Ballad of the Space Babies" and "The Mushroom Kingdom") did not vanish, but were counted in the profile too with a few hours delay.
Some things I checked after testing a lot of times:
- Superbrothers Sword & Sworcery EP, besides the messed up graphics (as mentioned on issue #167), the Steam overlay and screen capture are working, but now, every time I quit the game it changes the desktop resolution to 640x480;
- Steam overlay and screen capture didn´t work with Dungeons of Dredmor and Darwinia;
- In Steel Storm: Burning Retribution the overlay and screen capture don´t work when I choose the 64 bit version of the game;
- In Eversion, the overlay and screen capture work, but with a lower resolution (I think it´s 640x480), In my opinion it´s due to the game´s low resolution.
These are the other games I could test and worked fine with overlay and screen capture:
- Space Pirates and Zombies
- And Yet It Moves
- Cogs
- Cubemen
- Trine 2
- World of Goo
There's no 64-bit overlay support currently, so you won't get overlay with any 64-bit game.
So gdrewb-valve, this lack of support for 64-bit at the moment, is what is causing the achievements pop up to not show up too?
You won't get any in-game functionality, such as achievement popups, friend notifications, etc. when running a 64-bit game. That's only in-game stuff where the steam overlay does the work. Client display or web page display outside of the game should be fine.
IOW, it shouldn't affect "Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP", since it only has a 32bit version. According to the report, it does, though.
(trying to bring this report back on track; the 64bit problem belongs in another report)
Right, and the profile/library issue (tobiwae) is separate from the overlay issue (original).
I have to report that the Achievements pop-ups are working normally for me now.
if someone else can confirm, i’ll close this.
Confirmed and closing.
Nothing extracted yet.
Whenever an achievement is gained in "Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP", the achievement unlocked overlay is not displayed even though the achievement is recorded by Steam.
