  • 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.

I havn’t written any code for repacking yet, and I havn’t tested if the game reads unpacked files at all yet. If you encounter any problems feel free to comment this post.

Now in version 5.0!

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

Also to address some concerns about people asking about Left 4 Dead achievements. They’re not “persisting” in-game when you unlock them in Steam Achievement Manager because there are statistic values tied to them, and the game verifies these when it lists its achievements. It has nothing to do with SteamCloud (that’s not its purpose!).

New games listed as of 5.0 (I added these before 5.0 but had not posted an update):

  • Killing Floor
  • Plants vs. Zombies
  • Zeno Clash
