Achievement bug

from Sins Forums
I've only completed one game (as TEC) and won the first achievement leaving me at 10%. However, after downloading and viewing a game replay from the site I now have 22% of the achievements, around 6 I think. I was looking forward to completing these myself. Is this a known problem? If so, is there any way I can fix my profile?

Thanks

can you list which achievements??

some of the achievements are just like previewing a newly created map with the ingame editor, so its possible you did a few like this without even playing a real game and not due to the replay.

if it bothers you too much, you can reset the achievements to be disabled.

use a text editor to open achievements.achievements which is located at (for XP) Drive:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting\

and change TRUE to FALSE for the appropriate achievements.

I had only played one game at which point I checked and only had the Ensign achievement. Not a big deal, just thought I'd point it out so the devs could fix it.

These are the achievements that were added to my profile:

Advent Fleet Diversification (never played Advent)
Star Explorer (never played multi-star game)
Road to Peace
Pacifict
Mutual Trader
Planet Visionary
Ship Visionary
Tax Collector
Export Maven
Metal Miner
Expert Bombardier
Pirate Baron
Metal Merchant

Could be that the replay somehow was recorded by the game as a actual match and added the achievements.

Was one of the players Advent?

To be honest, I don't recall. I didn't watch it very long.
