Attempting to fix problems w/ Steam Achievements

M.matec and GGHallGamer mentioned that the achievements were not working — either not being registered as unlocked if one was acquired, or not registering at all! With a bit of testing, I personally (on a test account with no achievements acquired) unlocked enough achievements to see it function.

Firstly: Remember to make sure the client downloads the update (b. 3002 pacth 2) before trying out the new pacth.

Though I noticed (for some reason) that the Hard Mode achievement — where you complete a level on Hard difficulty — was not showing up in the in-game overlay, but instead in the Steam client when I exited the game! At least it registered as achieved.

This might be due to the way Steam caches the achievement list in the back end. When I deleted some of the achievements around build 3001 and then added the new ones (Hard Mode, Expert Mode, etc.), it may have skewed the order of the achievements, which could cause errors when acquiring the new ones. On the forums where devs address this, it is… a bit chaotic and hard to understand, honestly.

But this fix should guarantee that your hard work is rewarded, with the achievement being properly registered on your profile.

If not — let me know!

Thanks a million to you DASHers who take the time to give this valuable feedback — it’s beneficial to all.

Right now we are very few users, and I can see that no one is really making any levels. I can say for myself that I’ve had to work a job alongside finishing my university degree while taking care of a family — not much time left for dashing and creating.

But hopefully, when I have time for a juicy new update, it will be an occasion for players to start competing and creating once again!

DASH ON! - BD
