Turn off achievements

Grim Dawn Ideas and Feedback

Hi devs,

Is there a way to turn off achievements?

The achievement spam is at best incredibly annoying, for me they add nothing to the game and I would really like to turn off the achievement messages and achievement tracking.

I started playing for the first time with a new char since achievement implementation. 10 hours in and I have 9 achievements (some of them for killing tough monsters). At 1 achievement per hour it shouldn’t be called “achievement spam” nor be described as “at best incredibly annoying”. It’s not like you have 300+ achievements to unlock as in games like PAYDAY 2.

I really do not care how often they appear, they are incredibly annoying in every game I play, I do not know why each and every game does not have the option to turn them off, D3 f.e. is really bad in this regard, the achievement spam is incredible.

Also each time I log in to a character I get the whole list splashed on the screen, soooo yeah I stand with my previous statement where I say it is at best incredibly annoying.

I have the same thing. I didn’t have this before the last patch, but now I do. Are you on a GOG release as well?

I usually don’t mind achievements that much (nor do I care about them whatsoever), but with them cycling through on every start up it is getting quite frustrating.

Maybe this is a bug?

Yep, I got my version on GOG and yes this is most likely a bug, personally I don´t like achievements but they give many people alot of extra gameplay this is why I would like to have the option to turn them off, best of both worlds imho.

I also am getting the annoying announcements of previously earned achievements every time I load a game since I switched to the GOG version. It is really frustrating when you advance far enough to have a long list of achievements.

Personally, I would also be in favor of being able to turn off achievements completely. I have never really cared for this development in game design. Some of the achievements I’ve seen in games are really silly and do not add to my gaming experience. Others are just based on things you would ‘achieve’ by simply playing the game as intended and do not represent anything that requires special rewards. They are sort of like the ‘participation’ trophies that kids get for being on a sports team regardless of actual results.

That said, I know some players like achievements so they are not going to go away. But this current situation is a pain.

At least we’ve possibly narrowed it down to a version type and maybe that can work on fixing it.

Anyone figure a way to turn this shit off? Or if there some cheat that will unlock them all so it triggers just once and done? On loads too I guess, thanks to the trigger.

edit: Or have a save with all achievements complete? It looks like they are shared between characters.

Are your achievements popping up each time you load in? That should not be happening. Should post this in the bug section with more info

So, your achievements spam the screen every time you load your character or just once per achievement then you never see that notification again?
