- Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers
- Magnetis
- Metro 2033
- Mole Control
- Napoleon: Total War
- Plain Sight
- Puzzle Chronicles
- Puzzler World
- R.U.S.E
- Season of Mystery : The Cherry Blossom Murders
- Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter
- Shatter
- Simplz Zoo
- Sol Survivor
- Super Laser Racer
- Supreme Commander 2
- The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom
- Toki Tori
- Wings of Prey
- Ziro
How do I add these games? I have no idea what a game ID is. Help!
Eh? You don’t need to, the list is downloaded automatically when you run SAM.
yea my SAM does not download any new games added
and now css has the acheivments and i want it….im on vista btw
You have the latest build?
yes i have 5.2
whenever i start the program is just gives me several games, not every one that you have listed
Do you actually own the games you’re looking for? SAM only displays the games you own.
of course i do but it is still not working
Hey Rick,
I was asked through email to bring this up again.

Hello Rick, thanks for your tool!
I have a feature request if it’s possible, can you add the ability to change the time played that appears on your steam community profile (not stats).
Thanks!”
I support that idea, and I also was wondering if it was possible.
I don’t think that’s possible, sorry.
That’s too bad. I was really hoping that that would’ve been possible. 🙁
Are you sure? All that I personally wanted to do was reset the amount of time I’ve spent in game for TF2 (back to 0).
awe man u serious rick? i looked thru the older posts by u and a lot of other ppl wanted this too. y dont u at least try to? please?
I run SAM.picker And it only has like 5 games
Do you own the games you’re looking for? SAM only displays the games you own.
Yes counter strike source is not on there but i do own it
Oh I see, they added achievements to CSS right after I updated, nice.
So will you be updating it again for CSS?
This version is missing the “WeldingPoints” statistic for Killing Floor. How do I go about fixing this?
Yeah I ran into this problem too. WeldingPoints was present in version 5.1, but not in 5.2. Odd.
In Left 4 Dead 2, what part of the stats should I edit to show what mutations I’ve played?
Thanks man!!!! I was waiting for this update!!!
I’m having an issue with SAM 5.2, I’m trying to edit the stats of Killing Floor and there’s a duplicate of BloatKills. It takes up the space of WeldPoints or whatever it’s called so I can’t change the weld points.
I’ve tried restarting Steam, SAM, reinstalling SAM, but nothing works. Help would be appreciated. :[
I had this problem too D:
I was hopping that you would add support for Viking, Pirates and Knights. Oh well, maybe in the next update…
Rick, I was wondering you either knew a way or could find a method to remove or reset talents in Mass Effect 1. I’ve found ways to add more talents, but I could not find anything to remove them. Please consider my request, thank you.
when i save the gta game it,s need live product key but i hav,nt what i do?plz plz plz solve my problem
I am having some issues with SAM 5.2, it appears not to detect all of my games, even when I manually add them into SAM using the ID, it will not show up. Any chance you could help me out? Thank you.
Hey nice work this program works really well. There are only 2 values for Day of Defeat: Source that are missing. The Allied Bazooka and Allied Springfield Sniper. When I reset all stats and achievements, the achievement for the sniper and bazooka are locked but the number of kills stay at 500. So as soon as I do 1 kill with either weapon, I get the achievement right away. If it would be possible just to add those two values in there or maybe make it possible for us to add the values ourselves? From what I can see the values would be:
DOD_KILLS_WITH_SPRING_STAT
and
DOD_KILLS_WITH_ROCKET_STAT
Anyways, if you don’t get around to it that’s fine. I simply used this program to reset my achievements to make the game more fun by starting over because I had everything already. Thanks
May you guys at GIB please make a newer version..
SAM 5.3?
I would really like to use SAM for the new Engineer Update released today by tf2! kthxbai
Plis make SAM 5.3
for the engineer update
Hi Rick
There is a Update achievement for the game DEFCON, I try to add the game myself but doesn’t work (maybe different game id? idk), can you add this game in your next update?
Thanks for your programming skills!
How to edit class stats (hours) in Team Fortress 2?
Valve is a funny bunny. Didn’t take long for them to spot a giant achievement boost.
Spotted for TF2, items taken away. Suggestions?
Hi, it’s normal that there are marked “Steam Client” in the list of my Steam games now? There is a track that I used your software, I’m going to banish VAC?
I have an issue with your program. It was working fine up until a few days ago for some reason. Now whenever I try to open it, it says, “Steam is not open. Open Steam and then try again”, even though Steam is already running. Your thoughts?
WARNING TO ALL!
DO NOT USE THIS TOOL AT ALL EVER. IT WILL GET YOUR STEAM ACCOUNT BEING PERMANENTLY BANNED BY VAC (VALVE ANTI CHEAT).
Program author must remove this tool from this site now!
This was confirmed by multiple reports on Steam Forums, moderators removed threads.
EVERYONE I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU AVOID THIS PROGRAM, IT WILL GET YOUR STEAM ACCOUNT VAC BANNED FOR EVEN A SINGLE LAUNCH OF THIS TOOL.
I respect program author and his work, but everyone can say thanks to our dear FUCKING VALVE!
AND AGAIN, DO NOT USE THIS TOOL.
Unknown says – we trust you
Rick, i am not a random troll. I am telling a truth. Valve added your program to VAC database, and even single launch of this program will trigger a VAC ban, it’s not your fault, your program is awesome, but your program is dangerous to all noobs who download and use it. ALL OF THEM WILL BE VAC BANNED.
I hope you will update your program or even create a new one, also i suggest you to make it private or even sell this tool. If you will sell your tool i will buy it!
bullshit … VAC doesn’t work that way, there is no risk at all. Go troll elsewhere sad kid.
Wrong.
VAC can’t detect this sort of thing because the program itself is only accessible outside the game itself. If one were to fire the program up whilst in a VAC secured server, then yes. It would be a problem. However, this is not the case with most people. The VAC system is used to detect third party programs only while in the server. It’s not something that traces what kind of changes have occurred on one’s account through possible use of said third party program.
If you’re gonna troll, try doing some research first. This program is safe, and the only reason you would get VAC’d is because you probably used it while on a VAC server.
Any chance of releasing something like this that doesn’t need that dotnet 3.5 run-time? I am having no end of trouble trying to get any version of your achievement manager to run on linux under mono (and it definitely won’t run under wine).
hello, i’m having issues with SAM it says steam is not running but it is running for some reason it is not detecting it… could it be that am using the steam beta ?
How do you find a game ID – or will there be “support” coming for Alien Swarm?
Big problem steam updated SAM won’t detected steam you need to fix and release version 5.3
yeah man what he said ^^^shit ain’t working bro
^^ what they said, please? 🙂
Ain’t working anymore with newer Steam, could you fix this please ? 🙂
right, it don’t work since a steam update :/
Yeah – looks like newest version of Steam breaks the current version. Too bad – I wanted to work on Alien Swarm.
Hello Rick, can you, please, do add Survival stats change on L4D2. Thanks.
SAM says I need to have steam open when I do have it opened.
I think it needs a update.
Yep, v5.2 is no longer compatible with the new Steam, it needs an update as from yesterday onwards.
Because it was working fine for me yesterday. It gives this error everytime when I try to open it 2day:
http://i32.tinypic.com/vio6t0.png
Hey Rick! Look there http://savepic.ru/1471306.jpg
It needs to update
http:// savepic.ru/1471306.jpg
savepic.ru/1471306.jpg
Rick, when I run SAM 5.2 it says “Steam is not running. Please start steam the run this tool again.” But I have it running with no games running. Any advice?
I have the same error 🙁
Scroll up, sam lynch2.
It needs an update due to major updates to Steam as well as the upgrades that have been done to a lot of games powered by Steam.
can you please fix this?
I mean common, I wanna get my achievements.
Are you serious? they patched Steam yesterday, give the guy some time. This isn’t a paid service where you can expect updates, in fact he could decide to stop updating it at any moment.
BAMP
BAMpBAMp
BAMPBAMPBAMOSJA
He can atleast reply.
HE doesn’t even reply.
Oh no! He’s not responding!! I bet Valve assassinated him.
(Or he could you know, just be a busy guy)
I’ll be updating SAM when I get a moment to do it.
Phew i thought you died your my only chance to get the new hat in TF2 by alien swarm’s achievements since i can’t run it.
YO RICK, THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I GOT ACHIEVEMENTS TO FAKE. MY GIRLFRIEND IS GOING TO LEAVE ME ON FRIDAY IF I HAVEN’T 100%ED ALIEN SWARM!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

I really really need achievements.

I very much appreciate the work you put into SAM, Rick. Thank you.
