Some of you identified getting double rewards, or rewards for games that weren't eligible. That issues been fixed (thanks for the help). We won't be removing any of that credit.

As for the separate SKUs for GTA, that's really unusual. Most of the time a Mac and PC release share the same ID, which is I didn't pick up on it. I'll try and add the Mac ones later today when I get some time.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Haha. New acheev rewards just hit my account! I seriously thought I was over $4.

But I need more friends.

What happens if you add Playfire friends?

How long did that take you? It got pretty boring for me and I stopped after I got the other two achievements.

You get it after beating stage 1-6 with at least a 4 star rating.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I dunno, it just tells me I need more to unlock new features.

Plus I am the NSA.

Can anyone help with the Alien CM co op achievement? My steam name is deliverypizza

From what I've heard the achievement should just pop as soon as someone joins my game.

I need it too, sent you a friend request.

Feel free to add me as well on Playfire:

[TuckingFypo]

Is Red River dead? I tried to start it up for the 10p but there was some GFWL error.

 

[Lomax]

As expected, the pattern continued. All my achievements from yesterday were tracked in the achievement tracker but not displayed in the rewards page. All the credit earned from yesterday and the day before was transferred to my GMG account. Could radMonkey confirm that this is the way the system is working now? Seems pretty effective going every other day like that.

Also, Driftmoon achievements are now tracking correctly.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Got the Lego Marvel rewards for the achievements I did this morning. Nice to get rewards but also extra incentive to play down my damn backlog! Lego Marvel is pretty fun!

I'll tackle Lego Lord of the Rings next.

btw..I did get another Crimzon Clover reward that wasn't listed as far as I know. (You unlocked Insect Hunting in Crimzon Clover WORLD IGNITION £0.50) Not sure if its still doable now but if you have the game try getting that achievement.

 

[KarmaCow]

So has Playfire adopted the £=$ conversion rate? That's a shame.

Seems to be working the same way for me as well

Nah it looks that way until it transfers to GMG and then you should see the proper conversion rate on both ends.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Reversion has easy achievements. Funny Man can be done in 5 minutes tops.

Sweet Dreams as well.

 

[Stallion Free]

Just had the last couple days worth of rewards finally pop-up on Playfire and damn it felt good. Can't wait to see my Murdered: Souls Suspect progress drop soon too.

 

[sibarraz]

Thanks for the tip, with a walkthrough I just finished the whole thing in about 20 minutes.

Link to walkthrough? You got the Piper achievement too?

I stopped playing a bit ago. And also, Minerva's Den DLC isn't for me apparently, the game just quit me to desktop while I was walking around... no exe crash or anything.

It's in the community guides for the game. To get the piper just talk to the rat in the bottom right corner of the warehouse. Beginning to end 30 minutes tops and I got 14/16 achievements.

To fix the Minerva's Den bug, add -dx9 as a launch option. Happened to me, cost me like 30 minutes of progress x.x

 

[Vuze]

Yup, I also got all Reversion achievements for Playfire rewards and finished the game within 28mins thanks to the guide.

Thanks for the launch option tip, I'm not sure if I want to start over though. How long does it take to reach the achievement for Minerva's Den?

And also, How long for "Ol' Buddy Ol' Pal" in New Vegas from a new game?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I really want to get the Final Fantasy acheevs, but don't want to be grinding for hours. How long would a speed run take, you think?

 

[EdmondD]

How far are you in New Vegas? Go to Primm and outside the hotel there is a house. In that
house will be the robot ED-E. Repair it and it will become your companion. This should help: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/ED-E

It took me about two hours to do Minerva's Den and the first little bit of the main game to get the .10 achievement (which won't unlock in Minerva's Den). I sucked at it though, and you could always play on easy which I didn't but I wish I would have.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Finally got Searcher by starting a new game on Easy.

I literally just finished helping Ringo with the shootout in Goodsprings, pretty much the beginning.

I got the hacker achievement already, i might try again for the Minerva's Den one, might not. Dirt Showdown ones are super easy.

Took me about the same amount of time in Dirt Showdown but that was for all three achievements, and I enjoyed it a lot more. I'm sure Minerva's Den is great for someone who has already beaten Bioshock 2, but going in fresh it was agonizing. And the crashing didn't help with that any.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Anyone want to take turns getting the Tank acheev for L4D1?

 

[toddhunter]

Nothing showing up since June 11 for me. Anybody else in the same boat?

 

[Linearskillz]

Same here. I'm waiting on a large number of achievements. Hopefully they show up soon.

 

[Lomax]

When you say nothing, do you mean both in the achievement tracker and the rewards page listing, or just the rewards page listing? My rewards page is only being updated every other day, but the achievement tracker is being updated about every 27 hours or so.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Can you use the booster included with the game for on a throwaway file, or does it lock achievements?

And as for the tank achievement boosting, won't we need 5 GAF members to complete it? Also how do I unlock the Portal bonus maps?

Ain't no party like a NeoGAF party because a NeoGAF party hates everything you like.

Actually yeah, they seem to be in the recent activity. So maybe it is just waiting to copy across. Strange that it is taking so long though.

Will wait and see.

Just got Citrus on Giana Sisters.

Soft Landing is nearly impossible.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Just got Citrus on Giana Sisters.

Nah. I found them all easy.

Except for Hardcore, because the game is so boring that I didn't feel like sticking around to get it.

 

[Tomodachi]

It's very easy. You need to set "manual with different keys" in the control options. That way you can start swirling with the yellow girl and morph into the red girl while continuing swirling. Then just find any enemy, with the red girls they're all owls.
You switch characters with RT iirc while the attacks remain the same, Y for swirling and X for fireball.

Soo... any tips for how to get it on with aunt Lora in Heileen?

 

[YianGaruga]

The .25 and .50 rewards for Smooth Operators shouldn't take more than 30 minutes since there are cheats which don't disable achievements. You can enter those in the menu:

dante - Adds $1,000,000 to your money
kyrksten - Increased workload
balbin - Increase working hours for employees
becca - Everyone is happy

Get the money with the cheat and play the first few days normally until you can hire IT staff. Then just build a lot of offices, toilets, kiosks and elevators and hire enough of every operator and a few IT to get to 50 workers (reward #2). Then enter kyrksten and balbin (before 0:00, since it takes effect on a new day) and don't build anything that day, so you get to at least $3000 of profit (reward #3).

 

[Benedict]

How do you get a key for Smooth Operators from Indie-gala?
It was part of IndieGala 9 and igbwiki states that a key is avaiable.
But nothing shows up at IG, there it is still shown as a DRM-free game.

 

[oipic]

Just in case you haven't found this since, there's a walkthrough available via Steam that will help you to win Lora's affections.

 

[sibarraz]

I don't get why people had so much problems with soft landing, I got it casually like 1 year ago at my first hour of game

btw, my rewards stopped tracking 4 days ago, I will not try to talk it with support since they answer late, awfully and never, wasn't a guy from gmg/playfire posting here?

Yes, radmonkey posts here on occasion. I see a post of his on the top of this page.

Anyway, thanks to this promo I bought Castle of illusion and another world

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Oh god, my rewards seem to be lagging really far behind. I'll keep an eye on them, but how will I go about finding out which ones and what to report? Will I just need to browse my games library and achievements and just sort of cross reference them?

I knew I shouldn't have done those 7-8 "play for the first time" games yesterday 0.o

I just got my first reward update in 4 days. This was after my profile had tracked achievements three separate times. As always, your best course of action is to just wait it out. You will almost certainly get them automatically well before any support ticket you raise is resolved.
