Bug fixes:

-Missing achievements: resolved (A.1.0.4.4 - up)

Quality of life changes:

-Cooldown on input field reduced to 1s

-Revised "bad word" list

-Task rewards changed from "DEV letter drops" to randomly generated

Additional information:

Due to a caching issue, achievements granted while there was a poor connection to the Steam platform were marked as unlocked internally, but not displayed or confirmed on Steam. This update introduces additional checks to ensure achievements are only granted when a stable connection to Steam is detected.

If an achievement wasn’t granted at the time it was earned, it will now be synchronized automatically on your next game launch, provided Steam is connected.

Unfortunately, achievements that were previously marked as “granted” during a bad connection cannot be manually reissued.

UPDATE

If you’ve encountered an issue with achievements, and the achievement still isn’t granted after restarting the game, you may try the following steps:

  1. Disable Steam Cloud synchronization

  2. Delete or rename your local save files (C:\\Users\\"your username"\\AppData\\Local\\words\\Saved\\SaveGames)

  3. Redo the task related to the missing achievement

  4. (If you renamed the save file earlier) Change the name back to its original name after completing the task

This method only works if the bug occurred in version A.1.0.4.3 or earlier.

If this happens in the new version, please let me know in the discussion forums.

I sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and truly appreciate your understanding.
