  • 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.

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

New games listed as of 5.2 (a few of these are old and I just missed before):

  • Big Brain Wolf
  • Drug Wars (shitty game previously known as Merchants of Brooklyn, har)
  • Mare Nostrum
  • Rogue Warrior
  • Saw
  • Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter
  • Star Trek: D-A-C
  • Zero Gear (for the beta version…) Zero Gear Demo
  • Zombie Driver

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.

  1. Extract preorder_hack.zip to your game directory. It should not overwrite any files.
  2. Set PreferLocalFiles in Engine.ini to 1. This file can be found on Vista/Win7 in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Ubisoft\Anno1404\Config\Engine.ini. It’s probably something like C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Ubisoft\Anno1404\Config\Engine.ini on XP.
  3. Start any game, rename one of your ships to the The Silver Ship. If you are playing the game in a different locale than English, you will need to extract change_achievement_name.zip to your game directory as well.
  4. You should see at least one achievement unlock.
  5. Silver Ship and Preorder Emblem should now be enabled. Silver Ship toggle is in game options, Preorder Emblem is listed with all other unlocked emblems.
  6. Remove the extract file(s) after you’ve saved and exited the game.
