Burak, please, read this.
Hello:

1 - Sorry for the title of the thread (you can change to oher thing). This is not a usual bump of the achievements issue, but yes related.

2 - I know that you are concentrated in Circadian City. I can see the description and screenshots but is not my style of games (I hate Sims and similars).
I know because I follow Nowhere Studios from the Publishers page. If I follow you is because Monochroma is very very very good game. The history and ambient music is sublime. Each time that I play a full run of the game turns me sad. Much more from I read in credits the "thanks to brothers and sisters that resist the tyranny" and I know you are a Turkish Studio. From then I think in Turkish people when I play the game and the why of The Fall at the end.

3 - My only reason in this thread is explain with lots of details (I wrote a lot while I was doing to document my steps) what I do in native Windows 10 (nothing of emulation or with a virtualbox machine) for if it helps in the future for some fix. Let's go.


I've installed Windows 10 in a piece of one of my disks. I update whole system and install the last drivers.

I install Steam and Monochroma. I try to load the Factory for the robot achievement and Zeppelin for Colors achievement but don't pop up any.

Then I uninstall Monochroma, Turn Off the sync cloud in Monochroma settings and Turn Off the cloud in Steam settings. After I close Steam and reboot the computer.

When in Win 10 again, I started to clean files and registry keys. Now, details of my work.


I searched in registry and in My PC (C:\) the next:
Nowhere
Monochroma
265830

a) Files and registry entrys deleted

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\appcache\stats\UserGameStats_number of steam user_265830.bin

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\appcache\stats\UserGameStatsSchema_265830.bin

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\number of steam user\265830

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\265830

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Valve\Steam\Apps\265830

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nowhere Studios

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\Audio\PolicyConfig\PropertyStore <-- deleted 2 subkeys with the route to Monochroma in the data


b)Files and registry keys maybe deleted (I am not sure at 100%)

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-4014198543-1202595191-1014565326-1001\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\Audio\PolicyConfig\PropertyStore
<-- maybe deleted 2 subkeys with the route to Monochroma in the data

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-4014198543-1202595191-1014565326-1001\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\265830 <-- maybe deleted


c) Registry keys that was impossible to delete (nor modify)

Inside of the registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\bam\State\UserSettings\S-1-5-21-4014198543-1202595191-1014565326-1001

one string called

\Device\HarddiskVolume4\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Monochroma\Monochroma.exe

with binary data

After of all deletes I reboot the computer again.

Then, I start Steam (Cloud was OFF yet in Steam settings) and install again Monochroma (this time with Cloud off in Monochroma settings before the install).

I launch Monochroma and I do a Full Run of the game in 2h 30min (taking all flowers as I am progressing, do the robot, etc) until the Credits of the fall. No achievements pop up.

I try to load (and play) all sections with flowers. I take one and load the next section with flower. No achievement pop op.


Well. I try the game in Linux, Windows with Wine, Windows in a Virtual Machine, and now, a TRUE Windows installation (now I have dual boot for the 2 Operating Systems).

Hello Krovikan,

I know you're a bit annoyed with the fact we didn't fix the latest bugs on Monochroma but let me try to explain the situation. I think this annoys me big time as well, but currently I can't do anything.

We developed Monochroma in 2012-2014 for PC and we released the Xbox version in 2016. Later on our team has totally changed with a few exceptions. We started new projects, including lately to Circadian City.

Circadian City is funded entirely by a publisher (Way Down Deep) and the team working on that hasn't worked on Monochroma. I'm just a game designer/producer lacking any coding skills needed to fix the bugs for Monochroma.

That being said, we didn't forget about Monochroma. We will try to find a time to go back to that and fix whatever is needed if we can.

Monochroma was a single release project and we didn't plan to do anything after its launch. That's why we moved our whole pipeline to a continous development system for Circadian City so that we can keep developing, improving things, adding content and fixing bugs for a very long time in Circadian City.

Thank you for the time and effort you spent to clarify the problem, that makes fixing it much easier. I really hope we will make use of your detailed remarks soon and bring back the achievements and fix the messy registry entries.

Have a nice summer!
