No longer earning achievements

Post » Sat Feb 13, 2016 6:14 pm

Recently, I stopped earning progress toward my Google Play Games achievements. The counters have been stuck at the same values for weeks, despite me completing objectives, building rooms, and leveling characters.



Granted, I did set my clock ahead a few times to hurry things up. However, the vault I'm playing in currently is a new one, even in a new slot. I was hoping the achievement connection would pick up with a new vault, but it doesn't seem to.



Anyone seen this before and fixed it? I'm not particularly attached to my vault right now, so I could reinstall the game, if that's what it takes to get the points I earn into the achievements.

Here's what the my progress bars look like, and have for a few weeks: http://imgur.com/eflFG0h

Update: I just splurged on some lunchboxes (since they're on sale). I got three of the legendary dwellers, making that meter show 15%. At least we know that one is working, for now.

I'm having the same problem with two of the achievements - Overachieve Much (complete 100 objectives) is stuck at 59%, and Home Sweet Home (build 1 of every room type) is stuck at 41%.



(Strange that they add up to 100%, eh?)



Nothing funky has happened to my save file, and I haven't messed with my phone's clock. Outside of standard play, all I've done was buy 3 Mr. Handys and a pack of 40 lunchboxes during the sale this past weekend; however, both achievements stopped tracking even before those purchases. I've probably completed well over 200 objectives by now and my vault has one of every room type built up to level 3 and size 3.



Starting up a new vault hasn't fixed the problem either. The next option is backing up my two vaults' save files, uninstalling the game, reinstalling it, then launch a new vault to see if - at the very least - the objectives achievement starts tracking again.



I made a post on the FO Reddit group about this issue and it seems a few other people are also experiencing it. I'd post a link to that thread here, but unfortunately, I don't have permissions to post links so please forgive the copypasta below.

Thanks for the reply. Frustrating that such a fun game has so many buggy parts to it.



Interestingly enough, one of my previously stuck achievements just popped. The Higher and Higher popped this morning as I leveled someone up. Which is particularly odd, since I have characters higher than 25 though not yet 50 (the other stuck achievement for levels) in that same vault. Maybe it's a factor that a character needs to be leveled "by hand" (clicking each and every level up, instead of in the wasteland where they auto-level)?

I too have stopped earning progress and its disappointing. My remaining ones are:



Make 25 Babies - 72% (18) - Have made a lot more than this. Vault is at 95, almost all of them are bred.


Level a dweller from 1 to 50 - 55% (27) - A couple of my initial dwellers are already 50, though levelled through exploration not working in the vault.


50 Room Rushes - 63% (32) - Have rushed a lot more than that.


50 Raider Attacks - 31% (16) - Have had a hell of a lot more than that, rarely see raiders now, just deathclaws.


Rooms upgraded to 3 - 61% (30) - All my rooms are lev3, which is more than 30.


Build one of each room - 13% (2) - When I get 5 more dwellers I'll be building my final room. Pretty sure I wouldnt have got this far with just 2 rooms.


20 Legendary Weapons - 10% (2) - The game tells me I've found 4 Legendary weapons so far.


100 Objectives - 59% (59) - Have done a lot more than this. Stat doesnt increase whether the reward is caps or boxes.


20 Legendary Outfits - 5% (1) - The game tells me I've got 2 Legendary outfits.


20 Legendary Dwellers - 5% (1) - This stat is accurate, only one Legendary dweller so far.



I've watched the stat, it doesn't increase when I make babies with different pairs, brand new dwellers (through the Radio room) or ones bred in the vault. Tried rushing lev3 rooms versus lev1 rooms, no stat increase. The last time I got a raider attack, the stat didn't increase, doesnt increase with deathclaws. Building extra rooms doesn't increase the "one of each", nor does building a single room, levelling it to 3, then building one next to it, levelling it to 3 (instead of merging them to start with, then upgrade).



I only have the one vault, haven't tried creating a second one to see if that helps... but the amount of hours I've spent in this one, I'm not looking forward to starting over.



I sure hope someone is looking into this. I like achievements especially for games like this to give me a feel for when I've done everything, but now I dont know why I bother loading it up. I'll just tap some resources, tap some stat increases and murder some deathclaws. Would like to be earning something again.

I had the same problem. I figured it might be due to what vault you first log in to every day, because that is the one connected to the achievements for that day. My "Home Sweet Home" achievement was completed but it was stuck at 39% no matter what I did, then I came on here and posted about it and the next day it worked! Maybe we have a ninja developer fixing these for us when we post them? Hehe.

You could be onto something, after weeks of no change in my progress, my "making babies" went up to 75% complete.



I've only ever had the one vault. Vault 616 \m/
