So this weekend (I don't think there was an update?) the ToCS 2 achievements stopped "popping".

I'm not getting the link level 7 or quartz level 5 achievements, or the achievement for finishing Act 2. I got the 300-advantage achievement last week.

I verified the installation and then I reinstalled the GOG client itself ( pointing it to the install folder .) I'm not sure what else to do?

UPDATE: I guess gog.com fixed the issue? ToCS II updated itself this morning, and now achievements pop again.

Hello, same problem, idk if it's Galaxy-related or TOCS 2 last update-related. The gog galaxy screenshot feature seems to not working as well on TOCS 2, but i was able to use it before the update.

Which version of ToCS II you have ?

So far i've checked the following things :

- Uninstalling/Reinstalling gog galaxy
- Disabling and enabling again gog galaxy features like achievements and overlay
- Checked the files / repairing the ToCs 2

Nothing worked, i'm still in the 1.4.1 version without achievements/screenshots. Time tracking is still recordered properly.

The problem was resolved for a while, and now I'm doing a second playthrough and the problem is back...
I'm sorry you had this issue again, i wonder what had changed last time it worked ?
Do you play the latest version of ToCS 2 ?

I have a gog support dispute opened about it and i tried to patch down to the 1.4 version (november 2018) but it changed nothing. It seems it resolves about a conflict between ToCS 2 and GoG Overlay (i tried with ToCS 1 and it work flawlessly, overlay icons, achievements popup, startup popup, screenshots popup and Shift+Tab overlay keys opening GoG overlay).

Hope some Xseed guy can see the thread about it.

Yeah, I'm playing the latest version. I don't think it's an issue with ToCS 2, I think it's an issue with the client?

But, last time I posted, it fixed itself over the weekend (with an update, I think - although I don't see one around that time in either changelog) and now it's broken again, so I'm not sure what's going on.
The most recent GOG client update did not fix this.
Having the same problem. I started Trails of Cold Steel 1 and downloaded ToCS2 while playing. Finished the download basically when i was finished with the first game. Then Update 1.4.1 came and as i started playing i noticed that i didn't get any achievements. I'm not really a completionist but it bothers me a little that i don't get the achievements that i would get for just playing the game normally.
Also having the same problem in ToSC 2.

Just tested now by trying to get the "Shutdown Phenomenon" achievement (I have a save at 95, but getting to 100 or higher does not give me the achievement).

I had a bit of trouble getting newer achievements in ToCS 1 half a week ago (NG+ play-through), but I think that may of been because it doesn't work well with reshade. After removing reshade, reinstalling Galaxy, verifying the game installation folder, achievements started working again. Even installing the high resolution texture pack by BigHands still allowed me to finish the last few achievements and get the 100% trophy in ToCS 1.

Since this is my NG+ play-through of ToCS 2, trophies are a much higher priority for me, so it would be nice to see this fixed.

I think Lebibik may be onto the right track with the overlay not appearing. When I was playing ToCS 1 with reshade the Galaxy overlay prompt never came up, and I was unable to get any achievements until removing reshade, reinstalling Galaxy and verifying the game folder, but after that, the Galaxy overlay (Shift-Tab prompt) reappeared and achievements worked again for ToCS 1.

I tried changing the settings but even after a full reinstall of GOG galaxy and verification of the ToCS 2 folder, the overlay prompt never comes up as it does with ToCS1.

Yes it is related to Overlay, i've contacted the support way back then and support guy was really kind but was only able to transmit the message to the galaxy dev team. He said Galaxy overlay was maybe deactived on purpose, but since then no news.
I recommand to all make a support ticket so they'll make it higher priority.

I did aswell. Got the same reply. I think it's a good advice to anyone to submit a ticket. The only way they will make it a higher priority to solve this issue.

It seems like two separate problems are being conflated together into one here, i.e:

1. Achievements are no longer working.
2. Galaxy screenshots are no longer working.

Does "it" being related to the Overlay relate only to the screenshot problem, but not to Achievements problem?

As for my experience with these problems: I cannot get Galaxy screenshots to work with TOCS 2.

With patch 1.4.1, I cannot get Achievements to work either. When I meet the in-game requirements that should be popping Achievements, nothing happens: no in-game pop-up notification appears, nor the chime that goes with it, and no recording of the Achievement on my Galaxy profile occurs.

When I roll back to version 1.4, then things change. With 1.4, when I meet the requirements to earn an Achievement, I still receive no in-game pop-notification, nor the chime that goes with it; however, my Achievements become recorded on my Galaxy profile.

So in simpler terms, 1.4 lets me earn Achievements, but not in a full & satisfactory way.

I'm not sure whether these Achievements problems are caused by an error on GOG's part, or on XSEED's part, but I really hope that either and/or both of those parties identify and solve these Achievements problems, and make Achievements become fully-functional again with all versions of the game.

And it would also be very nice if they solved the screenshots problem too. But not at the expense of ignoring the Achievements problem.

I was sure I read somewhere that someone tried rolling back to 1.4 from 1.4.1 with no success, but obviously I was wrong. I now have the "Shutdown Phenomenon" trophy, by reinstalling version 1.4, many many thanks!

It doesn't have the fancy pop-up, but I had that problem anyway in ToCS 1 once I installed BigHands HD texture pack, so I'm happy as long as the trophies are working.

For Screenshots, I don't use Galaxy, but use Windows built-in Printscreen and post the clipboard image into irfanview (free image viewer). Alt-Printscreen will just print the current active window (so will do a full in game screenshot if you are currently in it). Mostly I've used screenshots for recalling quartz configurations for party members when I switch them around.

Anyway thanks for the temporary work around. I haven't touched the game for two weeks because of the achievements, but now I can once again resume!

For me, Galaxy Achievements work 100% properly with the latest version of TOCS1 (v 1.6), Although I never used any texture packs with it.

I'm glad that temporary semi-fix helped you play again.

GOG and/or XSEED still need to fix the Achievements problems with TOCS2 though. Everyone should be able to use the latest version without features becoming cut off as a result of doing so.
Well looks like this issue is being ignored :/
