This fixes the crash issues introduced with a recent Steam update, in addition to:
- 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

Thanks for the quick update, works perfectly!
i love you =(
Nicely done! 😀
Still is “Steam Achievement manager 5.1 for me :/
Cheers Rick, you’re a godsend : )
When i press on “You can download the new version of Steam Achievement Manager on its page.” the old download shows up… ?
Reload from cache?
Great job mate!:)
thanks. wasn’t working. thought they had fixed it.
you should remove the disclaimer for stats since you can reset them now.
Hey rick, what’s your steam? I’d love to play with you 🙂
Email me or add me on steam:

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I can now reset my achievements and pretend like I’m new again. It’s so fun making people think they got owned by someone just learning the game 😀
And we still can’t reset certain achievement stats like TF2’s Hot Potato!
🙁
Why don’t you just copy down all your current stats, then simply reset all your stats ingame .. and edit your stats as they were .. with the exception of ‘Hot potato’ ?
Hey rick, I’m taking the liberty of making a new steam account to try out the new steam achievement manager 5.3 when you release it for the new team fortress 2 update.
They are offering a free weekend so I will see if I get any achievements taken away or anything by VALVe, though i heard they are done with that sort of thing.
There shouldn’t be a need for a new version of SAM unless they break it again with an update, which I doubt will happen.
yyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
I’ll test it when the update goes live later today
Ok, 5 seconds after the update went live, I tested.
IT
WORKS!
THANKS SO MUCH RICK!!
Wierd, it’s not working for me. No games work. Not since the Halloween update. Any tips?
Yeah man its not working for me at all. I get to the games list, try to open a game and it fails there.
I don’t understand why it is not working on Win7. While it says “retrieving stat information…”, it crashes showing a Windows warning popup that says SAM stopped.
Doesn’t work for me either.
thanks, love you <3
It works greats but
*NOTE* For Modern Warfare 2 , the achievements work great , but it doesn’t change the ingame stats for Modern Warfare 2. It it possible to mod the ingame stats too?
If it doesn’t use stats via Steam, then no.
Why is this NOT working for Windows 7? I press “Unlock All Achievements” and I get no popups (although I go to TF2 and I can’t access loadout since it says it can’t get to steam ) (prob b/c it’s busy)
I need more information, it works fine here for Windows 7 x64.
you have to press the radar looking thing in the top right corner to save the changes, then it will work 🙂
will it give me all the items form the WAR update if i use it for tf2?
yes, except for the Gunboats
Rick I love you, also stastics don’t show up for MW2. Everything else works great though. Nice work.
If they don’t show up then it doesn’t use Steam for statistic management.
The creator of the program
ill ask u question and u can answer me in mail?
If i craft the new items , can i get new one from the program?
please answer “tomer.jonas@gmail.com”
Hey Rick! Nice work and you did it fast. But ive got a problem, the program boot, but i get an error as soon as its open…. Here is a little part of it.
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly ‘System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089’ or one of its dependencies. Le fichier spécifié est introuvable.
File name: ‘System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089’
I wonder what is the problem and what i can do, i have installed .net Framework 3.5 but it still give the exact same error.
Also, if i click continue and i select a game, it get stuck on the “Retrieving stats information”
some help would really be apreciated, thanks!
I have the exact same problem
Can anyone help?
Hey have any1 try this with the new TF2 War Updates? i tried but it didn’t unlock any new achievements.
Yeah u cant unlock the new weapons with the Achievement Manager…lame
What new weapons are you talking about? I unlocked like 7 weapons myself with no problem.
I thought that the new updates are randomly awarded and don’t have anything to do with achievements anymore.
Yeah, it unlocked the achievements without a problem, but didn’t give any weapons.
Nevermind; use the program then join a server. the weapons will be right there
Yep.
I love you, please have my babies….
Looks like from the comments I can’t specify an exact range of stats to erase, like say leaving my Total Time and Max Points as Pyro in TF2 out of being reset during a complete wipe. I suppose I’ll have to copy down those two stats as said before.
It’d be mighty handy though.
hey rick , is there anything i could help you out with. Feel bad since this is free.
Rick, I still have a problem.
When I boot up the program, an error shows up…
If I press continue and pick a game, the same error shows up.
If i press continue again, I get stuck at “Retrieving stats information”.
Can you please help?
Thanks.
I have the same error as John.
“Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error…blah blah blah.
Could not load file or assembly ‘system.core, version=3.5.0.0,…”
and a bunch of other stuff
The file not found for System.Core 3.5 means you don’t have .NET 3.5 installed.
Yup, that was it.
Thanks 🙂
Thanks it works fine, but it’s missing Torchlight 🙁
wonder if this will work, craft all my items, reset my achievements, and get unlock them again to get the weapons.
Doesn’t seem to work. I’ve only tried it once, and it didn’t give me new unlocks.
This program works like a jiffy! Thanks!
By the way, will the near future also include a Borderlands challenge manager?
Hello ! I have a problem with SAM. I open sam-picker.exe so sam crashed 🙁 i try 5.1 all the time crashed. What is the problem pliz ? Respond me in mail pliz thank you =D
I was just wondering something.
Would it be possible in a future update to:
>Make the tf2_playerstats.dmx file import(able?) into the achievement manager? I have a backup of my playerstats file and it’s a little confusing.
Hello.
I used this program to unlock some of my Left 4 Dead achievements. It shows that I have them done on my Steam profile, but when I start the game I still have my old number of completed achievements. Have anybody used the program to unlock Left 4 Dead achievements and is it working?
Hi!
How can I use this to only unlock achievements that I want to unlock? I only see an ‘unlock all’, ‘invert’ and ‘lock all’ achievement options. I just want to unlock a select few.
I’ve followed all of the instructions, but when I load up the manager, the only game I can see is Spacewar (I’d like to use it for TF2). Any idea why this might be the case?
Thanks in advance
Hey rick , your steam achievement manager does not support for the game Torchlight?
It doesn’t work with Left4Dead 2 for me :S
Can’t add it on the game list (ID: 550)
Support for torchlight please.
Great thanks a lot but there’s one achievement missing from the game Portal the one where you have to jump 300 feet, it is not in your achievement manager yet.
Thanks man, visitors always ruining my sons account cause they are to lazy to login with their own account. Rescued!
Erm trouble.
Running: Vista 64
Game: L4D1
Program works however I used it to reset the achies for my son ok. No probs back to basics.
I tried to add a cheeky one for meself and it didnt work. So I sez sod it and cleared them all then added them all. Now within Steam/Steam profile it sez I have 64/65. In-game 0. Just odd if you asks me!
Thanks tho for the work!
Hey , Does this work for Cracked steam or Undeadpatched Steam?
hey find some achievement problems here, for the game Quantz, there’s one duplicate achievement in the SAM (14/15). same problem with the game Toki Tori and Serious Sam, one of the achievements appears to have 2 same slots.
Hope you can fix this.
How to reset team fortress 2 total playing time? i reset all but …
Playing time:102.2 hrs past 2 weeks … Team Fortress 292.3 hrs / 1223.6 hrs
Used SAM 5.2 on L4D2 – worked great. Had to keep track of all the relationships between the numbers – num of games won/lost vs total games played and such. After doing all that work so the numbers look legit, submitted them and it updated everything – fast.
One pblm tho, now, the profile page shows I have spent 1.2 hours in something called “Steam Client”. Well, we know what that is and prolly so do lots of ppl. Is there a way to change this, remove it, make it say some other game’s name, etc? Got my page set to private until I get this sorted out.
Thx.
same pblm for me
but i only opened sam and didnt not use it !
and did you sorted out ?
When I tried to compile hawx svn tools, it give me error, and compiled version crashes. Do you know why?
