Rubytic Appeal (Complete)

[rubytic]

Discord: Rubytic#3155
Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198875619558
Games:
Sniper Ghost Warrior - Laurel Wreath achievement : The server shutdown as of Mar.20.2019 and I played the game in Apr.15.2019. This is the only MP achievement that needs official server but I used SAM to unlock this achievement. Other MP achievements can be done in LAN.
Relaxation Balls - I used Leeson's dll file to get unobtainable achievement. This was the critical reason that I got banned on Steam Hunters.

Thank you for dealing with my appeal.

Oh and just to make sure, I already removed those achievements with SAR.

Thanks for creating an appeal rubytic, as well as already relocking these cheated achievements. In the future, please remember that a prominent member of the achievement hunting community using and giving out his fixes does not necessarily mean that they are indeed valid/allowed. Mainly to keep from adding more work onto yourself (having to appeal, etc). Are there any other games you have used SAM on in the past?

[rubytic]

No absolutely not. Sniper Ghost Warrior was the first and the only game I used SAM.
As you see my steam profile, I am a 100% achievement only player. I never play games that have broken achievements.
Sniper Ghost Warrior was the first game that had broken achievement issue. The server shut down as of March 20th and I played that game in April 15th. I didn't realize that the server was already shut down.
I was almost panic because this would break my 100% AGC record, so I decided to use SAM. And this was the only game that I used SAM. Now before I start a new game. I search every steam forum and find a broken server issue, or unobtainable achievement thread after this happening.
Finally it looks my 100% AGC record is broken and I can now play some games that have broken achievements like TF2 or CS:S.

It takes alot to admit having cheated on something, so thanks for coming forward with that. I've reported the achievement as broken on SH (big work in progress right now) so other users who are also not aware can have a better chance of seeing that. I'll let the other tracker devs that mark stuff as broken know, too. I'll also let Rudey know that you should be good to unban on SH now. If anything else happens later on, feel free to reach out to one of us and we'll see what we can do.

It came to my attention that you have an alternate steam account that is banned on steamhunters, as well as AStats prior to it being disabled. Upon some further investigation, it appears that you old account has several unobtainable achievements unlocked, as well as some what appears to be trainer usage/ other forms of cheating.
1) Metal Slug 2- master of metal slug
2) Player Unkn1wn: Friendly Fire- another second in the game
3) Russia Horror 2018- 20!8 (plati nalogi as the description)
4) Payday 2- mutliple achievements including infamy levels and others that cannot be unlocked together (trainer usage)
5) Tap Tap Infinity- all the same timestamps
6) Ragnarok Clicker- very odd pattern with unlocks that is not normally seen
7) Clicker heroes- also has some odd clusters
8) the binding of isaac
9) Layers- rather large cluster
10) Metal Slug 3- several clusters

There are a couple of games from your current main account that I'd like to mention as well that i missed.
1)Enchanted path- rather quick unlock times not normally seen
2)Shuffle!- all of the achievements were unlocked at the same time.

This is all that has come up right now that i wanted to ask about, and I'm not sure if there will be more or not. I'll let you know if there is anything. If you could provide some answers to the above in the meantime, it would be much appreciated

1) I thought I got that achievement in a legit, but I just saw that it was unobtainable since release. Maybe I used SAM to unlock it but I can't remember it. At least I remember that I didn't use trainer in that game.
2) I used sister file to get the broken achievement
3) Same as 2
4) As I mentioned on Discord, I used trainer to get the achievements.
5) I used save file
6) I once relocked all the achievements before, but some of the achievements are unlocked recently because I use first account for idling on Ragnarok Clicker while I play the game with second account.
7) same as 5, I used save file attached on Steam guide.
8) I used trainer to get the achievements.
9) Achievements have same timestamps because you get them at the same time once you quit the game
10) I fixed some of counts using notepad. You can manually fix the number of plays, how many pows you have saved, and so on.

And I remember that I used save file on Civilization 5 but I relocked all the achievements. Some are unlocked again because I tested the achievement map uploaded on Steam Workshop


I just saw the below 2 questions.

1) I don't know why you are saying this. Even SellyMe got all the achievements faster than me. I played 0.5hr while he played 0.4hr. If you are saying level 1 - 30, there are hidden commands that beats the level faster. Use Z+J while loading the game and you can now enable debug. It's like console command in Source Engine and a lot of players unlocked these achievements in a minute using this command.
2) You get all the achievements after you quit the game. You know there are bunch of games that give you achievements after quitting them.

[Fabio]

Just to confirm, is this your alternate account? https://steamcommunity.com/id/rubytic/

[rubytic]

Yes it is.

[Fabio]

Awesome just wanted to make sure. Back to the appeal now, haha.
1) As you aren't actually sure if it was cheated or not, would you be willing to relock that one achievement because of that? As far as i can find, the achievement was not working around the time that you earned it.
2) the broken achievements will need to be relocked
3) same as above
4) payday 2 is a tad annoying to properly relock. You can do one of two things for this, but it would be preferred that you choose option b.
a) relock the achievements and not play payday 2 on that account again, as they will automatically unlock on startup
b) Use this mod: (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... =753301607) to fully reset the games progress, and then relock all of the achievements. Sadly, payday 2 has no other actual way we have found to successfully relock the achievements.
5) this is normally an invalidation, so it is not required that you relock this. However, you still can if you would like.
6) same as above
7)same as above
8) the achievements will need to be reset
9) this is fine!
10) the achievements will need to be reset, as this is a form of file editing that is not currently allowed.

For the games on your current main account,
1) ah this is something i was unaware of. The issue was indeed the speed between achievement times. Thanks for letting us know about that.
2) I wanted to ask about that one just to have it in here to prevent possible issues in the future, that one is fine as well.

________
What i have asked you to do with your previous account is a rule from 100Pals that requires each account a user owns to be a clean profile. It is not a requirement for any of the achievement trackers.
I also noticed that you are still using the previous account. If i may, what is it you're currently using it for? Looks like there are some games being 100%ed on it.

[rubytic]

1) I removed broken achievement
2) I just relocked all 500 achievements
3) same as 2, I relocked all 4k achievements
4) I already used that method last year, so my profile should be ok.
5) I already relocked all last year
6) I relocked all achievements.
7) Same as 5. They were already removed last year.
8) I already relocked them last year

10) I just relocked all achievements.

Although I won't be going to use my alt, I followed your request just to make sure for cleaning everything.
And I also updated my alt. You can check it now.
