EyesDevice Appeal (Complete)

[EyesDevice]

Hello there, I recently discovered all these Steam achievement sites and the one that I realized that I was banned was Steam Hunters. Even though it was on my profile, I realized it after some days because I wanted to check where I was on the leaderboards.

Anyway, I have used the SAM (Steam Achievement Manager) program in the past plenty of times, but I mostly used it on broken achievements or unobtainable ones. If I knew that this would get me banned, I can ensure that I wouldn't use it.

I haven't removed any achievement yet with the SAR tool because I don't remember every single one that I have unlocked with SAM. On the appeal page, you mentioned that you can detect the cheated achievements, so after we pinpoint the cheated ones, I will gladly remove every single one. I will try my best tho, to mention the cheated ones.

Games ↓↓


8 Ball - All of the achievements were unlocked with SAM, except two. That's because I got bored of the game and wanted to end it with.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bounty Hunter: Ocean Diver - Not sure if I did anything on this game with SAM, I might have unlocked one achievement because it was broken, not sure though.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cuco - I used it on one achievement, I think it was the "Right Idol", I forgot to collect it and you cant go back unless you start the game again, so I ended up unlocking it with SAM.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dolphins-Cyborgs and open space - Same thing here with Bounty Hunter, I really don't remember if I have used SAM on this but I have a sense that I did. If I did it was a broken achievement, that's for sure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Formula X - I got really mad with this game and decided to unlock both of it's achievements.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hue - 7 or more achievements were unlocked with SAM because I genuinely couldn't start the game. It's bugged, like it starts but you can't do anything. I liked the game but after it got bugged, I couldn't finish the achievements. Haven't tested if it's working now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let Them Come - Unlocked two achievements. "Social Gamer" because I couldn't get it to unlock, I think it must be bugged. "Frenzied" couldn't get it, not bugged or anything, I just couldn't, it was hard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Limbo - Not sure if I have unlocked anything here, I think I might have done "No Point in Dying" but I am not sure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NeoBoom2 - This game is an achievement game, every 30 minutes you unlock a specific amount of achievements. For me that never worked, I had it on for 2 hours and I didn't any achievements. So I decided to unlock all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ninja Stealth - On this one it was a misunderstanding, the game at start had only the actual achievements, then the Dev added 4900+ more to reach the 5k mark. The 4900 you could get them by having the game open, so after I finished those, I thought the rest were bugged (didn't check them out, only the number of the achievements), so I unlocked them, then realized that you unlock them by actually playing the game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RollingBall and RollingBall: Unlimited World - Not sure if I have unlocked any on these two, but I feel like I have.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tank Rush - All three achievements are unobtainable. So I unlocked them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Terraria - This is probably why I found out about SAM. I had done 87 out of 88 achievements the legit way, I was only missing "Supreme Helper Minion!" and I had done 160+/200 fish quests. Then after some time I lost the save because of an unexpected format that I had to do, cause my computer stopped working. So I tried doing the achievement again but you need to start from the beginning, which means 0/200 fish quests. So I decided to unlock it, cause it was the last one and the one that was keeping me away from a perfect game.


This is everything from the unlocked achievements that I remember about. I might have missed some, if you pinpoint them, I will try my best to remember and explain why I have unlock the certain achievement.
I am not trying to hide any achievements, no point in doing that at all. I just want to be legit because after I found these steam achievement sites, I wanted to become a steam achievement hunter.

So yeah, thanks a lot for your time that you spent reading my appeal and thanks for what you doing for this community. Really appreciated!
Hope you guys will message me back so we can discuss. Stay safe!

Best regards,
EyesDevice

Hey EyesDevice, thanks for creating an appeal about this. As your appeal will be a rather large one (comparing to other appeals right now) i'm going to focus on the shorter one's first so i can spend more time working with yours. Apologies in advance for any delays!

[EyesDevice]

Hey Fabio, don't worry at all, I am not in a rush or anything. Take as much time as you want.
Also sorry for the late response, I thought I had subscribed to this topic but apparently I haven't.
Thanks again for spending your time dealing with us!

[EyesDevice]

Hello again, I was checking my games on Steam Hunters and I remembered that I can see all of the broken achievements that I have, sadly I didn't do this before submitting the appeal.
So here are the games that have broken achievements and I have unlocked them. Two of them (*) weren't mentioned on my appeal above.

Dolphins-Cyborgs and open space - I checked my times, the first achievement was unlocked legitimately, the other 9 are broken, so I unlocked them with SAM.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*8Bit Invasion - All achievements were and still are broken. Unlocked all with SAM.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Surviving in the forest - All achievements were and still are broken. Unlocked all with SAM. (Same Developer with 8Bit Invasion)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tank Rush - All three achievements are unobtainable. So I unlocked them with SAM.

So that's everything I wanted to update you guys with. Take care!

[Fabio]

Alrighty, i'll go ahead and list out what needs to be done with these games:

-8 Ball - go ahead and relock this
-Bounty Hunter: Ocean Diver - if you are not sure you did or did not use SAM, it may be best to go ahead and relock this as well. Let me know what you decide.
-Cuco - go ahead and relock this achievement
-Dolphins-Cyborgs and open space - if you are not sure you did or did not use SAM, it may be best to go ahead and relock this as well. Let me know what you decide.
-Formula X- go ahead and relock these
-Hue - If you do not know what achievements you cheated, it would be best to relock the full game. Let me know what you decide.
-Let Them Come - go ahead and relock both achievements.
-Limbo - if you are not sure you did or did not use SAM, it may be best to go ahead and relock this as well. Let me know what you decide.
-NeoBoom2 - go ahead and relock this
-Ninja Stealth - go ahead and relock the ones that were cheated.
-RollingBall and RollingBall: If you do not know what achievements you cheated, it would be best to relock the full games. Let me know what you decide.
-Tank Rush - go ahead and relock this
-Terraria - go ahead and relock this achievement
-8bit invasion: go ahead and relock this
-surviving the forest- go ahead and relock this

For all of these, please reopen the game after relocking the achievements to check for any that unlock on startup automatically. If any do, there may be save data or etc. that needs to be deleted. I have not looked through the rest of your profile yet as i want to make sure all of these are taken care of first.

[EyesDevice]

Alright, here is everything that I did:

8 Ball - Locked the entire game. Deleted the save. Nothing pops up at the startup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8bit Invasion - Locked everything. Nothing pops up at the startup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bounty Hunter: Ocean Diver - On this one, I checked the times of the achievements, they look normal to me. Also none of them are broken achievements. If you insist tho, I can relock it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cuco - Locked the achievement. Nothing pops up at the startup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Formula X - Locked the entire game. Nothing pops up at the startup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hue - I decided to lock the entire game and start from the start again. Nothing pops up at the startup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let Them Come - Locked both achievements. Nothing pops up at the startup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Limbo - Locked the achievement "No Point in Dying", the only achievement that was unlocked almost 2 years after the other ones. Nothing pops up at the startup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NeoBoom2 - Locked the entire game. Nothing pops up at the startup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ninja Stealth - Locked 103 achievements, the actual achievements of the game. Nothing pops up at the startup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rolling Ball - Checked the times, only one seems off but, don't know how to find that exact one. Also I think this one was either broken or I had to remove some files and restart the game to get it to work.
Rolling Ball Unlimited - Checked the times, on this one all seem to have been unlocked the actual way.
Didn't do anything to the rolling games.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Surviving in the forest - Locked everything. Nothing pops up at the startup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tank Rush - Locked everything. Nothing pops up at the startup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Terraria - Locked the achievement. Nothing pops up at the startup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's everything, atleast from the ones I found out/remembered. If you find anything suspicious, mention it and I will remove it.

One more thing, the games that have broken achievements, do we just let them be? For example if a game has 1/100 broken achievement, is there no way for the player to achieve 100% unless he/she gets the developer to fix it?

[EyesDevice]

I realized that I actually forgot to fix the game "Dolphins-Cyborgs and open space", so I just locked the entire game, nothing pops up at startup.

[Fabio]

Alrighty, i updated your profiles to show that these games have been relocked successfully. And after looking through your profile, i wanted to ask you about:
-GTA V. Many of the achievements were unlocked at the same time. Do you know what might have caused that?
-Binding of Isaac Rebirth: A lot of achievements were unlocked together extremely early on.

[EyesDevice]

On GTA V, I had bought the game physically on 2015 (disk) and played there for a while. On 2019 I bought the game through steam and connected it to that social club account. My best guess is that the achievements I had, got transferred to steam.
On Binding of Isaac Rebith, if I am correct, I didn't have it on steam, and only had it as cracked. So I think when I bought the game and the save were enabled on the steam one, it probably unlocked those achievements.
I am 100% sure I never used SAM on these two games.

By the way, on my Steam account, it displays that I have completed 148 games, which is currently wrong, I think I have 143 and 1 that's restricted. If I remember correctly I had 135 or 136 before I locked the achievements.
Can I fix this mistake? Is there a way to see which games Steam thinks I have completed?

[Fabio]

Sorry for the delay, but with that your appeal should be good to go now.

And if i understand what you mean, i believe that should be from steam not updating your 100% count yet since some have been relocked. Once you earn one achievement (or maybe 100% another game?) it should fix itself accordingly. If it doesn't after you have done one or both of these things, let me know and i'll for sure help to fix it. You can just message me over discord for that. I'm going to go ahead and fix your ban on SteamHunters and message other staff members on other trackers you may be banned on as well. If any other issues pop up for you in the future, feel free to let us know
