Mass Effect Legendary Edition achievements glitch

[7thDementia]

So, I didn't see anything about this posted in the forums, but the Legendary Edition of Mass Effect 2 and 3 both have a glitch where it gives you all the achievements in both games, but in a way that won't unlock them on the EA App or Steam. I do believe that EA knows about it, and is working on it, but I figured it's important enough to let people know.

[Mod edit: changed title for clarity by adding "achievements ".]

I've played both ME1 & ME2 in Legendary, and I haven't had a glitch with the achievements like you describe. I've still got to playthrough ME3 yet, but in ME 2 I only got achievements as I earned them, and I still have a bunch that are locked.

Maybe it's a random glitch? Maybe @Zloth will chime in here, because I think he was having issues with getting achievements to even unlock. Something to do with the EA App, I think.

I have no doubt that EA knows there is an issue with achievements in Steam, but as far as them working to fix the issue, I wouldn't hold my breath, they're notoriously lax when it comes to issues like that, at least in my opinion.

Yeah, it's mainly with the EA App, IIRC, I honestly just hope the story gets picked up by someone so there's a light on it. The EA App causes the achievements to not proc in ME2 and 3, and this is like a new problem since they switched to using the EA App instead of Origin. There WAS a workaround but that was weirdly squashed. And I know I'm foolish for thinking EA would care, but part of me still has some hope. XD

They know about it, but there's no chance they are working on it - because they have known about it for several months, maybe over a year. The new EA App came out quite some time ago, had the issue, and people reported it. Then the EA App became required without any fix.

There are a few guides on Steam for how to keep the old Origin application working but it's fairly hacky. I kept it going through ME2.

I'm pretty ticked at EA about it. ME Legendary is not nearly old enough to be abandoning like this! I'm not likely to buy anything from EA for quite awhile. A pity, I was looking forward to the new Jedi game.
