Steam achievement bugs

[banjo2E]

I'm gonna go ahead and necro this to add a confirmation for the shrimp-and-crab bug, the three-spirit Uniter bug, and the I-got-every-single-treasure-lost-memory-and-achievement-other-than-Explorer bug.

I also had two crashes more than I did playing the non-steam version (in other words, two crashes), but half of them were because I was alt-tabbing and the other half couldn't be replicated, so meh.

Other than that, no bugs detected, and I'd like to add a +brofist for having only five of the 27 achievements be impossible not to earn.

I got all achievements two days ago in a 9 hour run, I'm not sure what you did wrong.

I also got the Boom Shrimp after defeating the crab, I'm presuming this is a simple .lua script with a mistake in it.
Also I'm not sure what went wrong with the explorer bug, because again, I got all achievements. Not sure what you might've skipped, do you have all pets as well? What about the easter egg, maybe you went in there, got the achievement, died, then it missed the area?

I found two crashes myself, which is;
Opening the minimap with q button while changing map.
Then cooking something, pressing q to open recipes list and then pressing escape to close the window, all within a second.
Both were able to replicate.

Alphasoldier, I have all the everything that I know of in the game, including pets, "I found the whole thing rather silly," and map markers. Only places I died or otherwise had to reload my save file after entering another map were a few boss fights and the Frozen Veil, before I entered Bubble Cave, which I did again immediately thereafter.

The only thing I can think of that could affect my progress is the fact that I haven't used every single possible connection between maps (for example, I haven't used the connection between the western Abyss map and its connected Open Waters map, but I have visited both of those maps through different r0utes) but I don't think that's what the requirement is. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

So after having found ACH_EXPLORER in the debug.log file after a simple windows search I tried searching this string manually in the .lua files presuming that windows doesn't look through those. I found nothing.
So I went back to the debug.log to study it closer. I found 48K lines saying I already have the achievements right after it tries to load map_title.lua from the same folder where all the other map files are, meaning that this file is hidden in the main executable.
Conclusion being, I couldn't try figuring out what the requirements are if I wanted to.

The only thing I could offer is giving you my save game and that it'll give you the achievement.

That's a shame. I'm having this issue too and let me say it's killing me in term of my obsessiveness. >_<

I have every achievement, pet, location and treasure. I also have a ton of save files having meticulously saved right before every boss fight on the off chance that I want to fight them again later and saves for both endings.

One thing worth mention though is that the game cache was somehow invalid on my end (it failed to verify but I never actually had a problem playing the game with it all the same). I'm wondering if banjo2E might have the same issue and that this issue bungled our ability to get this achievement in our saves.

Well, as I said, I could upload my save game file, so... I did.
In fact I added 2 bonuses; A completely full inventory with maxed out ingredients/recipes. Everything is 8/8.
And I made it so that you're playing with the End costume, the one you temporarily wear at the end, but never keep.

The game is completely 100% completed. It's the save file I got all achievements with, so I'm fairly sure you'll get all achievements when loading up this baby. Only thing that isn't 100% is the white/explored portion of the map.

100%+ < Click me.

Alphasoldier's save is no longer available, but I'll offer my 100% completion save file as a replacement. I don't have maxed items but I have every achievement. Hope this helps.

This thread also has a checklist of stuff anyone having trouble with the Explorer achievement should take a look at.
