Thanks for trying. We need Tom's help

Im getting close I feel it. I forgot about the steam_appid.txt

[KairuKyun]

Do I need it to turn into a .dll or do i need to make a lib folder?

Tom has nothing to do with this. I updated 15 games on Steam and all achievements works. So the lib works, I don't know what you're doing wrong but must be something.
You're all using that app_id.txt trick, just publish it on Steam (as pre-release, so only you can download/play it from the client) and see if that works. That's how I did and worked.

Literally just including our unique Steam app id in 'app_id.txt' and putting that file in both the renpy and the game's directories? I think we've both done that. Do we need to put any specific Steam api files in the root of the renpy directory? At the moment I have everything Steam related in the 'sdk' folder which I've placed in the root of the renpy directory. Thanks for helping!

I didn't put any app_id.txt in the game directory. That's what I'm saying, maybe doing that is the problem. You should just remove it completely and publish on Steam, download it from Steam, and launch from Steam. Not Ren'Py.

Tried removing app_id.txt from the game directory, didn't make a difference

Okay, I have been able to launch the game perfectly from steam. I can get it up and everything without the app_id.txt. maybe your not publishing it right?

No problem running it on Steam, just with achievements. I know it can run without 'steam_appid.txt' but it's good practice to include it apparently - either way though, achievements aren't showing up for me - I'm guessing they're still not working for you either?

[KairuKyun]

Not yet, but I will keep testing. If Jack got it than it means it is possible. I think I need to include a lib folder with some .dll? i dont know i have been looking at other games made with renpy that are on steam. I will keep testing.

I'm having the same problem. I managed to get my game onto Steam just fine, after following the advice on this thread, but my achievements still won't unlock.
I'm thinking maybe I didn't include all the files I need to include to allow for achievements to unlock with ren'py? I'm not sure what the problem could be...
Oh, and I was also doing what everyone else was doing with the app_id.txt thing.

[KairuKyun]

After much research it seems we need a steamappi.dll somewhere in the game. I cant figure our what or where it should be though. I dont even know if that is right though.

[PyTom]

It should be part of the files included in the zip I gave out.

[jack_norton]

The name is steam_api.dll and is in the zip indeed, in path lib/windows-i686/. I suspect all those people here having problems didn't unzip the file correctly.
