Steam Achievement Manager 6.3

Changes:

  • Added support for secure statistics.
  • Statistics will now display names instead of their ID when available.

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.

There has not and will not ever be a virus or trojan in SAM downloads provided through my site, if some random obscure virus scanner picks something up, it’s a false positive.

    Some people reported an issue with L4D2 in the last update, if you still have that issue, please tell me exactly what you’re trying to modify, thanks.

  2. jujuba says:

    This is probably a stupid question but wth… why the red orchestra 2 achievements have a red thingy on it?

    Thanks.

  3. Dead Man says:

    In Red Orchestra 2 when i want change stats or kills weapons SAM can’t change it

  4. Taiyou says:

    FIX THE TF2 ERROR GOD DAMN. >:I

    Getting a “Unhandled exception error” when I try to launch your POS. FIX NOW.

  5. Dasharath says:

    hello
    been using SAM for a while for only a couple of games and it useful for the last 4 or 5 achievements you missed while playing

    I’d like to use it for some achievements in Red Faction Guerrilla but it keeps telling me “Error retrieving stats: generic error”

    any help ?

  6. torch says:

    I was wondering if you could make it possible to unlock achievements for games even if you don’t own the game.

  7. xpto says:

    hi
    unfortunately unaware of this application (SAM) and tried to edit the perks of the killing floor but by mistake i changed to a very high value
    now I can’t “reduse” the value, always get an error (“occured an error while setting the value for FlameThrowerDamage, aborting store”)
    you can help me for my level back to its initial state please?

    Sorry for my “bad” english, i’m try my best xD

  9. Suuup says:

    Is there a way to allow SAM to update achievements for games I don’t own?

  10. Taiyou says:

    Unhandled error. Still getting it.

    You have a habit of not listening to people who have errors.

      I am a busy person. I will get to it when I can.

      turn on your netframework 3.5.1 by going to control panel -> instal/uninstal programs -> Turn Windows features on or off -> There you will find Microsoft .Netframework. If the box next to it is not blue, check it to make it blue.

  11. hasser says:

    Can you please link to the Steamworks info about “serverside” achievements? I fail to see why SAM could not pretend to be the game to spoof it?…

    • Rick says:

      Achievements can be flagged as ‘serverside’ which indicates they can only be granted through a known and authenticated server (ie, dedicated/MMO servers).

  12. itsme says:

    Hey Rick, thanks for the program, it works perfectly and it’s very useful.

  13. Xomoria says:

    Hey Rick, I can’t see the achievements for CrimeCraft Gang wars, and I really don’t want to download 10gigs worth of shit for a game that I’ll play 2 hours until I get my coal. Is this an error with SAM or is it not added yet or what? I’d rather pass of the game completely if I can’t SAM the achievement I need.
    Thanks for the little helper by the way, you sir are a gentleman, and a scholar.

  14. siemka says:

  16. Noob says:

    Hey,

    People that have used SAM for the Steam holiday thing are worried they’re going to get banned.
    If they used SAM as instructed, is it likely they will be caught?

  17. flo says:

  25. Josh says:

    Hey! Rick i know this probably is a retarded question but how do you find the game ID? THX

    • Jeremy says:

      Login to the Steam account
      Go to your Library
      Right click the installed game and choose “Create desktop shortcut”
      Go to your Desktop and locate the new shortcut
      Right-click on the shortcut and select Properties
      Look at the target path for the number following steam://rungameid/. This number is the Application ID for the game.

  27. Nicklordzero says:

    Hello. I was just wondering if you could ever make a TF2 Item generator. You probably will say no because its probably not even possible but just asking because i already got all the achievement items from all the games. If there is any way my friend has been making a working gen tht spawns Force a natures(all kinds) and keys and its written in C++ so if theres anyway u can to let me know and ill download it asap!

  38. Jib says:

    Alright, well, here’s my little problem. I just bought Rainbow Six Vegas 2, one copy for myself and my girlfriend. I already have completely beaten it on my Xbox 360, so I don’t want to go through the hassle again. I added the game to the achievement manager, with the correct app ID and all that, but when I try to modify the stats, I receive the message “Error while retrieving stats: generic error — this usually means you don’t own the game”. I know very little to nothing about files and whatnot, and some help would be appreciated. Thanks 😀

    по чему не запускается ошибку выдаёт какуету???

  40. Ben says:

    Not receiving any error messages, but when trying to switch some stats around in Alien Swarm (Mission related stats) some of them simply won’t update. Otheres updated once and won’t update again. I’ve tried resetting Steam and resetting SAM. I now come to you for some assistance.

  41. fiq says:

    yo watup,can anyone help me how can i add id games it keep sayin invalid id?? thx

  42. Novakid says:

    Hello i was wondering how do i change my total playtime hours for a game? i cant seem to figure it out and if thats not possible then just tell me, my steam is on here and you can add me and send me a PM if you want to help. thx bye

    • Rick says:

      It is not possible.

      • Novakid says:

        Rick i know you made it but i seem to have found a way to change the playtime, i was screwing around when i found this so i dont know if i can replicate it. I’ll atttempt it later and post my results, if i fugure out how to do it completely i’ll post the steps…

  43. Novakid says:

    P.S just click my name “novakid” to go to my steam profile

  44. Novakid says:

    Yeah, okay Rick i have figured out how to change the stats (e.g playtime, total kills, headshot count) i tested it on Alien Swarm and Gmod so i think it works for every single game.
    1. open SAM and choose the game you want to modify, for me its going to be Alien Swarm.
    2. When in SAM click on the “Statisitics” tab.
    3. Scroll down until you find which Stat you want to change (e.g Total_kills = how many kills you got) for me i want to change “Playtime.total”
    4. click on “I understand by modifying the values of stats, i may screw things up and can’t blame anyone but myself” button.
    5. Modify the Value of the statistic you wanted to modify, i still haven’t figured out how to estimate how many hours and minutes its going to be…
    when I figure out that i will update you on what to use and how to do it. credits go to Rick for making this program, and me for figuring this stuff out ( all though anyone could figure this stuff out if they had the time)

    • Novakid says:

      Forgot to say that after you do all of this you have to log out of steam then log back in, then check the stats on steam of the game you just “hacked” and you’ll see the changes.

  45. iTz iFrosTz says:

    Hey Rick could you add Poker Night at the INventory to the list? I’ve been searching a way for earning achievements without having the game, as the other games.

  46. Slayer_of_2012 says:

    Hey Rick pal there is a way to u create a scanner from the real stats from the cloud. ‘Cause for one mistake mine, i pretty fucked up my PAYDAY The Heist statistics.

    • Slayer_of_2012 says:

      ‘Cause i was trying to reset the stats. But in-game it has one part of the stats. Sooo it reset entirely on steam stats. But now in-game i have like 27373 kills and like 7831 headshots for example and on steam i should have 8000 kills, and 1670 hs.

  47. Sagi says:

    hi master, this game can’t save the achievements..
    it said “Stored 42 achievements and 0 statistic”, but the fact is the achivements not saved..

  48. Nigger Deer says:
