Achievements not working? (Steam/Mac)

[JMS424]

I have tried playing several games, and realized that my achievements are not crediting. I checked, and after starting a new game, saving immediately, and exiting, even then it says that the file belongs to another user and achievements have been disabled.

Running v. 1.1.3 976f on a Mac, through Steam.

Requirements for achievements:

1/ the game has to be an Ironman game
2/ the game must be started at the earliest date, 11/11/1444 Rise of the Ottomans

That message is just telling you that the game you've started does not qualify on one of those grounds.

Ah and here I was thinking I had a bug as well. Well good to know there's no real reason to lose sleep trying to get achievements then. Is there a particular reason it was decided to only allow achievements on Ironman?

 

[AndrewT]

Otherwise it would be trivial to cheat to get them, just edit the saved game.

 

[Slacker22]

Ah, I guess I'd never really thought of it like that, I figured there was a way to differentiate modded save files from non-modded ones without Ironman. Shows you what I know.

Why ironmode? I have started new game not in ironmode and saved game in the cloud. Now when i load this save - the game shows that achievements are enabled, but I still didn't get any achievement
