changedI believe the issue in Tap Heroes was that the achievement unlock check only ran once when the conditions were fulfilled. If that check failed at that exact moment (due to a server issue or something else), the game would never check again—even if the achievement was fulfilled.
addedI’ve now added a check for every achievement each time you start the game. So any achievements you’ve already unlocked in-game should now correctly unlock on Steam as well.

Hi everybody! ːPhhelperː Over the years, many people have reached out to me about certain achievements not unlocking properly in Tap Heroes on Steam. I’ve usually tried to help by unlocking them manually for the player when this happens, but since the cases have been quite numerous, I’ve postponed the inevitable: actually fixing the root cause.

I believe the issue in Tap Heroes was that the achievement unlock check only ran once when the conditions were fulfilled. If that check failed at that exact moment (due to a server issue or something else), the game would never check again—even if the achievement was fulfilled.

I’ve now added a check for every achievement each time you start the game. So any achievements you’ve already unlocked in-game should now correctly unlock on Steam as well.

To double-check that you’re on the latest version, look at the bottom-right of the Options screen. The version number should say 5.1. ːPfrogː
