Every time I restart the game, my achievements seem to be gone, even if I load my saved game. (Not sure if this is related, but I have to change my settings every time I restart the game as well. By restart, I mean after I've closed the game, and reopen it, not a fresh game)) Is this normal or is something "broken"?
From the folder containing the exe, open up
game, then
saves, and check if there is a file named
persistent (no file extension).
That file contains your settings and achievements. If it does not exist, but numbered
.save files do exist, something is preventing that file from being created and is causing the issue.
Also, since some people do this, if you are updating the game from one version to the next by overwriting the old version's data, please just delete this game's folder (exe and everything), and start fresh with a new unzip.
** You may copy out the saves folder before deleting if you want, but the game stores a second copy elsewhere on your machine, so it isn't necessary.
