Gedarion Appeal (Complete)

Post by Gedarion » Wed May 27, 2020 3:42 pm

I want to make an appeal. I connected my steam via website, and i saw this line "you might be contacted regarding any strange achievement history" and remembered using a "Steam Achievement Manager" to unbug some achievements that i got when my internet was down.
Discord: Gedarion#2449
Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198103515760
Games:
1)Plants vs Zombies
In PvZ they will count ingame but not on steam if you have no connection in the moment you get an achievement. So i used SAP at the time
2)Alien Shooter
And here i was playing offline too, and i didn't get some achievements, but a couple minutes later i got them the second time(even activity displaed 2 of the same achievement), so i reverted the changes and reloded steam, and they were in place.
3)Borderlands 2?
I don't even know if it counts, but i also remeber getting some achievement via bug, so basically i am from Russia(sorry for my grammar btw), i don't know how it works in other coutries, but i got 2 versions of the game with seperate progress and achievements, first is just Borderlands 2 and the secons one is Borderlands 2 RU. And i was playing 1 version with a friend and 1 version on my own, but when i joined one of the versions after BL3 was launched(or annouced idk), my savefile from other version jumped shim and somehow ended up on this one(and reseted some progress along the way), and when i didn't noticed and jumped into the game i got some achivment that i coudn't get on the old savefile yet. Oh and also i lost an old save too.
Maybe there was more, but i can't remeber anything else.

I understood that i need to "relock" some achievements/games, but i don't want act without being prompted to.
So now i waiting for instructions.

Alrighty, so after taking a look i believe the other games are fine, so we can just focus on these three. For these games, do you remember which achievements exactly were cheated or affected by using SAM?

When you are able to, go ahead and download SAR, which can be found in our FAQs. And with your first language appearing not to be english, please let me know if i need to retype anything i say to help you understand better. I know language barriers can be difficult!

-For PvZ, if this was the only achievement cheated, go ahead and relock this. After that, reopen the game and possibly enter a level to check if the achievement automatically unlocks or not. If it does, you may need to delete some save data, or reset the statistics in SAR again.

-Alien Shooter: please do the same as i explained for PvZ

-I forgot to ask more about borderlands 2, sorry. If i have read what you said correctly, you played borderlands 2 (non russian version) first, and then opened the russian borderlands 2 and achievements unlocked? This would be fine actually, as it is your own save file that was used here, even if you did not mean to do that.

Thank you for being considerate, i can understand what is being said in english perfectly, but sometimes i have a problem with conveying my own thoughts, so excuse me if my grammar/sentence structure is not the best.

I relocked the achievements in PvZ and AS, but i think i will have to earn them again, because as i said, they only register in steam the moment you get them in game and only if you have internet connection(because these are old games with poor steam implementation)
As for Borderlands 2, yes you understand me correctly, i didn't use SAM and it's was accidental, i think that was something to do with Gearbox updating BL2 to advertise the launch of BL3.

Is this everything, or is there something else i have to do?

I just finished updating your trackers to show that the achievements were actually relocked, so everything should be fine now. If any other issues pop up for you in the future, please let us know and we'll see what we can do to help!
