If steam had a problem with it as a third party software cheat they would close these discussions but they don't at all. They allow discussions to not only advertise for it but have 'condoned' as marked correct answers. Originally posted by GunsForBucks:Steam fully encourages you to use it. Of course, you can clear them using SAM, but many run on variables that are not cleared and still won't unlock again. I've seen a number of people get carried away and unlock everything, and then regret it later as it ruined a game for them, and they wished they were able to unlock the achievements legitimately. I've used it on games like Killing Floor when bugs caused achievements to not pop. Thea couple of devs that tried it but QUICKLY found out it was a bad idea.

There's certain legal issues where that would be as dodgy as hell if people did that.

They probably come across it being mentioned and it's the first time they hear it and wonder 'how is this still allowed?' I'd rather they ask here frankly. OP, there are no more game bans associated with SAM, the last one to do it was Payday 2 devs, and they had some problems because of what they did. It's a bit weird for certain to keep seeing these threads pop up. NOTE: not all games support steam family share, ARMA3 is one of such games, therefore the family share answer above is, in my opinion, incorrect or at the very least situational.Originally posted by davidb11:I don't know. If you follow all of these steps correctly you should be able to relock all your achievements without issues unless they are stored server side and updated in a sensible manner for example not allowing lower values than previously recorded (which i doubt)ДЇun-fact: This is how, for example, from-soft checks your inventory in DS3, in this case for added stuff you are not supposed to have access to yet, not for stuff being taken away. If that stat is currecntly 2k, you can lock the cahivment but since the playtime will be over 1k as soon as you open it it will re-unlock. last option is if these checks are doing serverside (which i have yet to encounter but i've heard people mention this possibility before) in which case you might be out of luck, altho you could at least try using the stat tab in SAM and for example for an achievment stating

in case your cloud data stored stats that the game checks to unlock these achievements, you can decide to go offline make this change and when prompted upload local files to cloud and overwrite old files. this is also valid for savefiles! therefore, delete these or back them up elsewhere. In that case you will be asked if you want to keep the local or cloud save.ДЄssuming you can indeed succeessfully modify your achievments trough SAM you will be able to play on other pcs assuming those do not contain data that would instantly unlock said achievements.Д®DIT: As long as you play on a computer that has data with achievement unlocked it will re-unlock these. This behavior can be also seen with games that have savefiles backed up on the cloud: You can indeed make use of SAM to delete the achievements, the reason why playing on different pcs pushes you back to the previous state of achievements would be because you have data saved there that is different from the data you have currently.
