[2.0.72] Failed to load local achievements

Post by zin »

I have a new PC, so I installed Factorio on it and got my saves from the Steam Cloud. I got a message after syncing the mods with the save, saying the local achievement data failed to load. When I loaded the save, I got a whole bunch of achievements.

Is there a way that I can fix this? I can access my previous computer, so I can move files manually if needed. I’ve attached the logs.

Thanks. I uninstalled the game, deleted AppData\Roaming\Factorio, and have now finished re-downloading from Steam Cloud.

Here’s AppData\Roaming\Factorio from my old PC. I can’t find achievements.dat.

I found one in the Steam folder (Steam\userdata\856601647\427520\remote).
Should I copy it over and replace the existing one, or is this just Steam achievements?
