Yesterday I played on my own Linux L4D2 server with a friend. It was The Parish campaign on easy difficulty. During the game two other friends joined so we finished the map with all four survivors being human players. During the campaign I only used melee weapons and accessories (molotovs, pain pills, etc.). When we got to the rescue vehicle, me and my friend both got the "Bridge Burner" achievement for completing the campaign. I should have also got the "Confederacy of Crunches" achievement for using only melee weapons during the campaign. When we got the Bridge Burner achievements, I did see in the upper right corner the Steam messages for both achievements, but on the chat area we only saw the Bridge Burner achievement.
So now when I look at the Achievements list in game, it shows me that I have unlocked the "Confederacy of Crunches" achievement, but when I look at my Steam Community page, it shows that I have not unlocked it yet. So now I guess I need to clear my local achievement data and finish another campaign with melee only to get it awarded to me properly. I guess it's noteworthy to say that the Steam Community activity report displays we getting all the achievements again we got earlier. For example "My History" says: Nov 19 You achieved Left 4 Dead 2: VIOLENCE IN SILENCE, SOB STORY, BEAT THE RUSH, GONG SHOW, STACHE WHACKER, CL0WND, FRIED PIPER, LEVEL A CHARGE, ACID REFLEX, CRASS MENAGERIE, A RIDE DENIED, HEAD HONCHO, DEAD IN THE WATER, DISMEMBERMENT PLAN, BURNING SENSATION, ARMORY OF ONE, CHAIN OF COMMAND, SEPTIC TANK, CLUB DEAD, TANK BURGER, PRICE CHOPPER, MIDNIGHT RIDER, RAGIN' CAJUN, WEATHERMAN, BRIDGE BURNER. Nov 18 You achieved Left 4 Dead 2: SOB STORY, HEAD HONCHO, LEVEL A CHARGE. You achieved Left 4 Dead 2: ARMORY OF ONE, PRICE CHOPPER, ACID REFLEX, A RIDE DENIED, BURNING SENSATION, CRASS Note that the achievements from Nov 18 are listed again in Nov 19! This seems to be case with all the friends who played on the same server too when I look at my activity report; all their achievements are displayed again at Nov 19. Note also that later the same day some of the other people did get the "Confederacy Of Crunches" achievement on that server without problem. I am not exactly sure if this is a bug in the Linux srcds server, the game, Steam servers, or where, but apparently something went wrong there because the game now thinks I have the achievement but the Steam community profile says that I have not. Also that the previous achievements are displayed as being achieved again is intuitively something that should not happen. I hope this is being looked at, and of course some kind of explanation would be welcome. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
