Predator Appeal (Complete)

Post by Predator VII » Tue Mar 30, 2021 7:15 pm

Hello! I just got verified today but one of my games had an issue. Let's get all the basic info out of the way first though:

Discord: PredatorVII#0089
Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198042209904

Games:
Ultimate Chicken Horse (https://steamhunters.com/id/PredatorVII ... t=unlocked)

Alright, so, here's the situation. My brother owned this game before I did, and he liked it a lot so I tried it out with Steam's family sharing on his computer a couple times. Sadly though when I played it, Steam saw his savefile and it awarded the achievements he had earned and gave them to me :( Eventually I did buy the game myself and I started my own savefile.

Since then I've gone for the missing achievements and now I have 100% on it. But if you look on my account you can see that there are two batches of achievements that I got from my brother's savefile. (One on Feb 9th, 2018 and another on March 24th 2018.)

I have my own savefile, and I can show that for most of these achievements I have completed the requirements myself using the game's in-built stat tracker. Some stats aren't tracked but I could record a video of me doing them in less than 10 minutes. There's one problematic one that I know I have done, but I can't prove using the in-game tracker.

Before we get into the specifics, I think it's probabbly wise to hear your word on the matter. So let me know what you think :)

Thanks for your time, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hey Predator, thanks for creating an appeal about this. This is actually pretty common and not really easy to know for sure if this will happen. The best course of action would be to relock any of the achievements unlocked from your brother's save file. After you do that, please reopen the game so we can see which achievements automatically unlock on startup.

Hi,

Just to be clear, what do you mean by relock?

Thanks for your help.

This will bring you to the guide in our FAQs on relocking achievements: https://achievementhunting.com/guides/relock

Basically, this will force an achievement to no longer be unlocked on your account, allowing for you to earn them again if possible. If you would prefer not to do this, we can just have the game invalidated and not count for points on trackers. The rest of your profile would still count.

Hmm, thought I responded already but something must have gone wrong..

Anyway, I relocked the achievements for Ultimate Chicken Horse a few days ago and relaunched the game. The moment I started the game, all of my relocked achievements got awarded again :)

That should be enough to re-verify UCH, right?

Thank you for your time and effort!

OH shoot i never responded to this. Apologies for the delay here. Normally, we would require the save files to be fully deleted due to the achievements unlocking from another person's save file, but I think you would be fine in this instance. Just for documentation's sake, can you please provide a screenshot of the in-game stat tracker?

Hi,

It's ok, no big deal :)

I made a quick video of me going through the stats on Ultimate Chicken Horse:

If you really prefer screenshots I can take those too haha, but a video seemed easier since there's multiple sub-menus and scrolling involved.

Perfect! Thanks for taking the extra time to do that. This should prevent any future issues with the game. Everything should be good now! If any other issues pop up for you in the future, feel free to let us know!
