You'll still be able to browse the store in Steam, and you'll still be able to download updates it's just the achievements that stop working. If you do have updates downloading (or paused), you can use a previously opened Steam chat to a friend. You can check whether Steam is bugging out by opening a Steam window and looking at the bottom: if it's not connected (and you don't have any games or updates downloading), it will say "no connection".

I primarily play on Mac, but I believe I've seen this issue when booted into Windows as well.Ī game of Civilization lasts long enough, and is easy enough to walk away from without saving, that I often put my computer into standby dozens of times during a game, and so I think there's a decent chance you might be doing the same, and experiencing this problem. One of the most common problems that I've had with unlocking achievements is that Steam doesn't deal well with standby and hibernation specifically, Steam loses its connection to the achievement servers, and won't try to reconnect. If you need help with getting a specific achievement, this Civ Fanatics forum post has a great list. They do not have any impact on the order of how you receive them and one does not necessarily unlock a different one for you (although you can gain multiple achievements by doing one action, like finishing a game with a particular leader).

If you have previously received achievements, I'm assuming it's either a mod or you were playing with someone else that is the main cause of your problem.Īs for the color, they refer to either the vanilla game or Gods and Kings expansion pack. There's also a chance that if you disable reward pop-ups in one of the Options menu (off by default I believe), you will not receive achievements either. Both of these will not only prevent you from gaining an achievement but also halt any progress you may have gained on one (ie forests chopped during the time you are playing with a mod does not count towards the number required for the Paul Bunyan achievement).

The reason why you may not be receiving the achievements, aside from perhaps not unlocking them fully, is that they are not awarded whenever you have a mod enabled and most (if not all) achievements will not unlock if you are playing a multiplayer game.
