  • Fixed issue with recent Steam update where Picker would claim Steam was not running.
  • Fixed issue where adding a game manually did not work properly.
  • Overhauled how SAM obtains achievement and stat info, now parses the UserGameStatsSchema files found under the Steam directory.
  • The previous entry means that the bugs where stats or achievements were duplicated or missing should now be fixed.
  • Now has a display for stats that indicates if it is increment only or not.

You can download the new version of Steam Achievement Manager on its page.

Comment in this post if you’re having issues with the new version.

  • API improvements, no longer depends on steam_api.dll.
  • Filters in game picker.
  • Reset achievement and/or stat support.
  • Other stuff I can’t remember now.

There may be an intermittent issue with the Steam UI freezing while / after running SAM (Picker or Game), if that happens, restarting Steam should fix it. Feel free to report issues in comments.

The valid game rarity levels are defined as such: (a screenshot I took from Borderlands UnrealEd several weeks ago, later modified by someone else to show actual colors)

rarity

Weapons normally range from 1 to 100 rarity, when guns fall past 100 rarity (due to either a bug or the developers didn’t think weapons could go past it), they become white due to not being in a valid rarity. “Pearlescent” weapons are in fact a bug due to this. Past this we see special rarity levels used for different types of items, such as medpacks, etc. If a weapon manages to reach those rarity levels, it will have those colors.
