Site Feedback - Visual Studio Achievements Not Unlocking Properly

Solomon — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:00:21 GMT

I opened a 2nd instance of Visual Studio and the "Install and Register For Visual Studio Achievements" Achievement unlocked. The other 3 I was missing seem to have sorted themselves out too. It took a while, but they're fine now. Perhaps when there are multiple achievements unlocked on the same compile it's not working right?

Site Feedback - Changing the Name Under the Avatar

I've changed my display name to "Solomon" but it has not updated. Is this a bug? Is the display name not meant to be used with your avatar? Anyway, it would be nice if it could use what's set in the display name field.

Site Feedback - Visual Studio Achievements Not Unlocking Properly

For instance, the "Install and Register For Visual Studio Achievements" says it has been unlocked every time I start Visual Studio. It does not show on the website, or in the Tools, Achievements window.

There are 3 others (Overload, Equal Oportunist and Magic Numbers) that say they've been unlocked each time I compile for the first time in a Visual Studio session. These don't show on the website or the Achievements window either.

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 on 64 bit Windows 7.

On a completely separate note, the achievements that count things seem to be ignoring the thing they are supposed to count (most of the time). For example, the organize usings achivement has not counted any of the times I've used it, the F10 achivement has counted a few times out of the probably 20 times I've used it, and the Achievements window and the website aren't even in sync on the count for that one.
