Unlocking Steam achievements

In order to unlock all your previously gained Nihilumbra achievements on the Steam, follow these steps:

Open the terminal and launch 32-bit version of the Steam with the command:
setarch i386 -3 steam
Launch and exit Nihilumbra
After the previous step, in the directory
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Nihilumbra/
should appear 4 new files:
00-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-savegame.xml
01-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-savegame.xml
0-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-metaprofiledata.xml
1-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-metaprofiledata.xml
where XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX — your Steam numeric id.
Copy save files from the 64-bit game (should be in the same directory):
00savegame.xml
01savegame.xml
0metaprofiledata.xml
1metaprofiledata.xml
over the new save files from the 32-bit version (with ids), and launch Nihilumbra again.

After that, all your previously gained achievements will be unlocked immediately.

Many thanks to ryuanlu [Linux] and monad for valuable comments in this thread — they helped me to unlock my own achievements and to write this simple guide :)

Disadvantages of this approach

With this approach, all your achievements will be unlocked with the same date and in the wrong order. So, if you want to avoid this — you have to unlock all achievements again, playing the 32-bit version of the game.

Why Steam achievements don't work on 64-bit Linux?

An answer from the Nihilumbra developer:

More information

Has anything changed since then?

Sadly, but no.

Ludosity's Steamworks Wrapper documentation[sourceforge.net]

This library is built against Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit version. It has not been properly tested on other Linux
distributions yet. Currently we only support 32-bit versions of Linux. 64-bit is being worked on, stay
tuned for an announcement on an official relase.

Since in many current _x64 games achivements work perfectly, I suspect that there has been a change in the library interface that requires more than a simple relink and it's not thought worth.

Besides this wonderful game.

Thanks for the guide! I got my achievements now!

One small fix: In step 2, I also had to start a new game for the save files to appear.
