Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I keep seeing 'Achievements are not enabled' during game creation and cannot figure out why. i've deleted and unsubscribed all mods (which were only cosmetic and achieve-compatible anyway). verified files, uninstalled, deleted files from 'my documents', reinstalled and switched off betas in the launcher. am i missing something really obvious?

Steps to reproduce the issue.

The checksum you quote here is correct, but is that what you see in the main game menu? Or just in the launcher?


If you see something different in the main game menu, you need to do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere, and user_empire_designs.txt from /Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/ if you have made any custom empires or races.
- "uninstall" in Steam-Stellaris
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Stellaris AND Documents/Paradox/Stellaris folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add stellaris.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular you need to make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Stellaris or Documents Stellaris locations, before installing again.


If however you do see the correct checksum in the main game menu, I don't know what the problem can be. When you select Ironman mode in there, does it then say "this game is eligible for achievements"?
