Help - GTA5 on steam unlocking after reset? #184

Open azzaroo opened 3 years ago

azzaroo commented 3 years ago

SAM works perfectly fine, I know this is an issue with the rockstar launcher with the reunlocking of achievements but has anyone came across a way? I reset my steam achievements for GTA 5 and it worked but as I started the game again they just reunlock, I deleted my save files from C: drive but i believe it has something to do with the rockstar launcher. Anyone know of a way to stop this happening? @gibbed

Turn off cloud sync. Deleting them locally won't matter since they're just going to be downloaded from the cloud when you launch it. You should backup your save(s) first.

You can view your Steam cloud saves here as well: https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage

Could you go into more detail about this?

@WollyBog45 Yeah, I outline the steps here on an issue someone opened on my fork of this.

I know this is kind of late but I just wanted to say that it doesn't work. The reason that it worked for Baldur's Gate and not for GTA is because GTA's publisher (Rockstar Games) keeps there accomplishments stored in their database. And Baldur's Gate publisher (Larian Studios) does not (they keep it in steam's). Which means if you tried to remove GTA accomplishments with steam even if you turn off auto updates, turn off steam cloud sync, etc. It still wont work because the accomplishments are stored in Rockstar's database not steam's. I still hope you could find a way.

Note: You should probably try it for your self in case I'm doing something wrong.

made an account just to reply to this, I am running into the exact same issue.

Played GTAV story on PC originally with Epic Games, now years later I got it for cheap on Steam, tried to reset auto achievements given with SAM and it just readds them again, because of Rockstar keeping track of your achievements. It's a shame.

Yeah if it's a cross platform thing then it's just going to load them from the server every time.

I'm not familiar with GTA but if you can unlink your Steam amount that might work. Whenever you reconnect it it's just going to use your Rockstar account (or whatever it is).

If you just want the ability to play the game and unlock stuff again one option would be to create a new Steam account and create a Steam Family to share your library. Not sure if that's enabled for that game or not but most allow it.

Nevermind, family sharing is disabled for GTA V.
