Title: Re: annoying steam achievement spam Post by: opethian_days on January 25, 2009, 04:41:19 am to clarify, the only annoying ones are the percentage kills one where you accumulate. since your constantly killing neutral ships, it constantly spams that your getting closer to the achievement, all 3 mind you.

I'll see about fixing it. In the meantime, there is a workaround - turn off Steam's in-game overlay. It's far from an ideal solution, but it will suppress the spam. Title: Re: annoying steam achievement spam Post by: Minus on January 25, 2009, 06:32:43 am There should be some way in the achievement settings to only notify on every 50 or 100 points or so. That's how it works in TF2 for some of them. But I wouldn't have any idea how you would go about changing that.
Title: Re: annoying steam achievement spam Post by: Vang on January 25, 2009, 10:42:15 am I solved this problem by creating a huge map with 210 Neutral Worlds and a single AI planet. I then proceeded to kill neutral planets until I finally got the Slayer Achievement.
I let the game sit then while the Achievement Spam flushed itself. Took about ten minutes before it finally caught up. :D Title: Re: annoying steam achievement spam Post by: Chris on January 25, 2009, 11:02:40 am Getting the Slaver achievement is also a good workaround! :)
