Developer Recommendations for Solving Other Issues

Developer Mundfish has also explained how some of the issues players are facing can be remedied. Because the run-of-the-mill advice like checking game integrity and updating graphics drivers isn’t a fix-all, one other issue might require a bit more work. 

According to the developers, the problems with unlocking achievements have already been solved, but in some very rare cases, the following issues may occur:

• There may be some delay in unlocking achievements on a platform that requires an Internet connection for this process.
• For those whose achievements were achieved entirely on savegames before or during the Day 1 patch, there may be some issues, which can be solved as follows:
  • Option 1: In case the achievements were not unlocked, even though their progress was achieved, it will be necessary to re-execute all the conditions by starting a new game.
  • Option 2: In the rare case where all achievements have been obtained, but the “The Motherland Does Not Forget its Heroes” achievement has not been unlocked for achieving them all, the problem can be solved simply by starting a new game. Data will be recalculated at the launch of the new game, which will unlock the achievement.

Update 1.7.0.0 for Atomic Heart is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. For the latest news and updates, visit the Atomic Heart Steam page here. The game’s developers also recently hinted at the game’s DLC, which might become a reality relatively soon. So, stay posted and keep a close eye on The Nerd Stash.
