DLC Achievements removed

After some players complained, we removed achievements from all DLCS. The reason is: You can't have 100% achievements if you only have the basic free game.

After some players complained, we removed achievements from all DLCS. The reason is:

  • You can't have 100% achievements if you only have the basic free game.

  • Even if you have all the DLCs and get all the achievements, when a new DLC is released, your 100% will drop to a lower number, due to the new DLC adding more achievements.

We contacted Steam support and they said there are no plans to change how this works. After some research, we realized this is a known issue that players and developers often complain about. Console platforms, for example, handle this better.

This is how Steam works. They forwarded our request internally, and now we can only hope someday they will treat base games and DLCs as separate products when considering the achievement list. For now, even big games have to deal with the same dilemma.

  • So if you are looking for 100% achievements and to keep this number, you'll just need to get all achievements from the base and free game.

You will still see the golden badge on the challenge selector screen for each completed difficulty level.

We hope that you understand this decision and keep supporting us! More updates are on the way to solve minor issues and make some enhancements!

Thank you!
