The original idea behind this app was that some steam emulators generate a text file where your unlocked achievements are stored. But they aren't very friendly to know which is which, here is an example :
[NEW_ACHIEVEMENT_1_1]
Achieved=1
CurProgress=0
MaxProgress=0
UnlockTime=0000000000
[SteamAchievements]
00000=NEW_ACHIEVEMENT_1_1
Count=1So which achievement is NEW_ACHIEVEMENT_1_1 ? You'll have to ask the steam API or look online in a site like the steamdb to find out. So let's just do that automagically :)
Not as sexy as a directX Overlay but it's the next best thing.
Display a Windows toast notification when you unlock an achievement.
You can test notification in Settings > Debug to make sure your system is correctly configured.
There might be a slight delay between the event and the display of the notification when running powershell and loading a remote image can take a few seconds in some cases.
Game must be set to Window borderless for the notification to be rendered on top of it.
If you have enabled the souvenir option a screenshot will be taken
and saved in your pictures folder "Pictures\[Game Name]\[Game Name] - [Achievement Name].png"
- Try to set your game to Window borderless.
- Try to disable the automatic game and fullscreen rule in focus assistant (Win10)
or set them to priority and make sure that the UWP appID you are using is in your priority list (By default the Xbox appID(s) used by this app are in it). - Try to set checkIfProcessIsRunning to false in
%AppData%\Achievement Watcher\cfg\options.ini
Windows 8.1 : Don't forget quiet hours.
Windows 10 >= 1903 : New focus assist auto rule for fullscreen app set to alarm only by default prevents the notification from working out of the box.
The process watchdog.exe is the one doing all the work so make sure it is running.
Not all games are supported, please see the compatibility section below.
You can also display a notification with:
Some use of the Steam Web API to fetch data from Steam requires the use of an API Key.
If you leave the field blank in the settings section, it will automagically fetch said data.
An example of a server that feeds you the data is provided within this repo.
This service is not guarantee over time and is solely provided for your own convenience.
If you experience any issues please use your own Steam Web API key.
You can acquire one by filling out this form.
Use of the APIs also requires that you agree to the Steam API Terms of Use.
Args:
--appid xxx [--name yyy]
URI:
ach:--appid xxx [--name yyy]
xxx is a steam appid
yyy is an optional steam ach id name
After the loading directly display the specified game.
And if specified highlight an achievement.
NB: This is what the toast notification uses in order to be clickable and open the game page highlighting the unlocked achievement.
I do my best to translate everything for every supported language by Steam, but it's rather difficult and I don't speak that much languages. Fluent in another language ? Any help to add/modify/improve would be greatly appreciated.
