    Well I'm missing 123 achievements in total, so far I only found out that the scanner didn't pick up a bunch of achievements from Loot Hero DX, which I completed recently.

    Hey Guys.....

    Scanners don't seem to be picking up achievements from Robot Alien Monsters. Have gotten 13 achievements for it since the 13th and none have shown up.

    Cheers, Garry

    Hi! I have been having the same problem as others: my profile is public but only a few of my games get on the list. Maybe this can give some insight for debugging: I noticed that when I requested an update a few days after my first, a couple games were added to my list, incidentally the last couple I played; so maybe it could be that Steam API only returns the last few games played, or returns all the games but ordered from last played and then something goes wrong along the way.

    Thank you very much, Jack, I really appriciate the support!

    Still, some achievement and completed games missing, but I'm sure you get everything working eventually. Maybe an option to manually update single games would help a lot of people with similar problems?

    Keep up the good work!

    The scanners aren't picking up new achievements unless I request an update again. I'm also still missing that achievement from Paint it Back and requesting updates isn't fixing it, the game has been played recently so the usual workaround of playing it again hasn't helped either. The scanner refuses to acknowledge I completed the game.

    I have a problem with The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Redux not showing up as complete on the site even though I finished it. I even tried requesting a scan but it only showed another achievement I got from another game.

    I keep on scanning but it doesn't want to show my 3 achievements from 18.01.2016 from DmC. It ended my achievement win streak :(

    EDIT: I don't know if someone made something about it but it works now :D

    scanner 5 doesn't seem to pickup anything when I request a scan and I had an automatic scan earlier which didn't do anything either

    Scanner 3 has stopped ~ 13 hours ago, while scanning some Stephen constantly. Can approve gamerjet's image as well.

    For some reason that game doesn't track time played angry

    SIDEBAR
    Apologies for all the issues with scanning guys, as you can tell from this thread, Steam has a lot of quirks! We're tweaking our scanner code pretty much daily to handle these, and they are getting more reliable with every iteration.

    We think we are already doing a better job at achievement tracking than pretty much all of the steam sites out there, and we're glad to have you guys here to help us to that smile
