Unobtainable Rift Sealed Achievement?

[Caedous]

Hi there guys, just wondering if there was a issue with the Rift Sealed achievement as I have smashed the Unbidden portal like five times (in ironman, with no mods) and have still not managed to get the achievement. Is there a specific set of criteria that I have to meet or a certain event I have to wait for before destroying the portal? Any help would be appreciated!

 

[Gratak]

Hmm. I see no obvious problems in the events or achievements. Do you get the "portal destroyed" event messages?

 

[Caedous]

I get the portal destroyed message yet no achievement. I have also tried several attempts where I am the only one fighting them.

 

[UnKrautz]

Hi. I have the same issues with this achievement. Any Ideas?

Same problem here, it is still bugged since at least 2016... I know achievements are not so important, but it would be nice anyway if Paradox could get it fixed some day.

It was fixed, looks like it's just broken again

It's been broken for some time. I killed off the unbidden and closed the portal in 2.02 and didn't unlock it. Same with 1.9. Would I be able to unlock it if I rolled back the game version to something early?

I destroyed them in my current game and don't have the achievement. However I also didn't get any kind of opinion boost for having killed them which I thought you were supposed to, so maybe it hasn't recognised that I was the one who killed them.

Another achievement issue, a more minor one, is that the achievement for "constructing a complete dyson spere" seems to be achieved upon simply constructing the platform base.

Same here.

no dice.

The wraith achievement also did not trigger.
And does anyone know if something special has to happen for you to get the "dragon egg" option? I just got an admiral with special trait and then no other option.

I always seem to get the unbidden. I'm tired of fighting the unbidden. I avoid researching the jump drive and still they pop up. I got the scourge once when they were first available. Never again.

same problem. i cleared the whole galaxy just to be sure i get the last hit. i even waited for the aberrant and the vehement to spawn. killed all portals -> no achievement. killed all remaining unbidden systems -> still no achievement. the messages in the situation log are gone.
i tried to get the achievement multiple times in since 1.8. it never worked

 

[Roddo]

aberrant? behement?

damn, think I started to freak out a little too soon

i don't know if they are needed to spawn to get the achievement

 

[Gratak]

i don't know if they are needed to spawn to get the achievement

No. Have the achievement and haven't ever seen them outside of youtube

 

[mfgflo]

No. Have the achievement and haven't ever seen them outside of youtube

do you remember the version of the game when you got your achievement?

 

[Defiler99]

I got mine on "Jun 9, 2016", which would have been version 1.2.4

 

[Gratak]

You won't have to go back that far... Unlocked 29 Apr, 2017. Should be 1.5.1

 

[mfgflo]

no one 1.8 + ?

I waited for hours after I conquered the galaxy in 2350 for the Unbidden to appear 2420. Now, the acheivement is bugged and I'm more than a little upset.

I'm on 1.9.1 and I did modify my save file, but I got 3 other acheivements from this game, so that's unlikely. I backed up my save file when Unbidden first appeared, so I've tried 3 times now.

I'm the only one fighting them with two 1M fleets. They send out 350k at a time. The first time I rolled them and the portal ended up being non-attackable. So, I let them build a little and got the message twice that the portal was closed, along with something about "too bad we couldn't study it first."

But, no achievement. Looks like I may try 1.5 if that's the only way... Unless someone else has ideas?

Digging into the current game files, this is the event that sets the "extradimensionals_expunged" that the achievement relies on.

# Portal Destroyed
country_event = {
    id = crisis.1013
    title = "crisis.1013.name"
    desc = "crisis.1013.desc"
    picture = GFX_evt_wormhole
    show_sound = event_super_explosion

    is_triggered_only = yes

    immediate = {
        random_system = {
            limit = { has_star_flag = extradimensional_origin_system }
            save_event_target_as = extradimensional_system
        }
        remove_point_of_interest = extradimensional_invasion_poi.1
        set_country_flag = extradimensionals_expunged
    }

    option = {
        name = crisis.1013.a
    }
}

I looked at the various bits in "events/crisis_events_2.txt", and I don't see any obvious bugs in the scripting.

Here is the English text we're supposed to see, when the event/achievement fires:

"Dimensional Portal Destroyed"
"The dimensional portal in the [extradimensional_system.GetName] system has been destroyed! This means that the extradimensional invaders can no longer receive reinforcements from their twisted realm.\n\nWith the destruction of this portal, the end of these invasions is finally in sight. A profound sense of elation has settled over most of the galaxy. The [portal_killer.GetName] has won much admiration, since it was their ships that struck the final blow against the portal. The crews of those vessels will be celebrated as heroes for generations to come."
"The galaxy is a safer place."

Which I believe we're still seeing, right?

I guess the next step would be to look at a save-game before and after destroying the portal, and see if the country flag "extradimensionals_expunged" is being set.
I wonder if just setting that flag in the file and re-loading the savegame would trigger the achievement, actually.
