GrandMasterLynx Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 When I launch a game with LB the Achievements don’t show up for some games but when I just use RA by itself they show up just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 This is usually caused by your game's title or platform name not matching the name used by RetroAchievements. At the time the feature was written (and I don't think it's changed since) the Cheevo API did NOT have a way to pass the hash of the file to get achievement information like RetroArch does. Because of that we use Title search which can sometime not find a game correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems weird since it works just fine on RA by itself but when I use LB with RA it doesn’t load achievements I checked the checksum and it matches the rom they use and I haven’t changed the name of the game Other games I played I changed the name of the game to the title I would like them to be and I get the Achievements to pop up just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I would expect this issue to be a bug with Retroarch, because launching a game from a frontend should not affect the achievements at all. Can you report this as a bug to the Retroarch team @GrandMasterLynx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
