Game Discussion: Monster Island (Windows)

Wrong account unlocking achievements

  • Posted on 14 December 22 at 05:18
    I installed this game today for the first time on a new computer using the microsoft store's archives. I was plugging away unlocking achievements but after some distress and confusion I came to know that the achievements are unlocking on a different account. In both the Microsoft store and console companion app I see the correct account. When I sign into Minster Island and check the leaderboard, it highlights the wrong account.

    I tried signing out and signing back in on the console companion app and reinstalling but it is still showing the wrong data. I found a thread on reddit with the same issue from 5 years ago but no fix. Any one know how to resolve this?

    You need to have the Microsoft user match the person getting the achievements. So when you open up your pc and it requires a password to start using your pc, it needs to be for the gamertag that will be getting the achievements. It’s for Windows 8 games in general.

    Thanks! That looks to be it. Apparently I haven't played a pc game that didn't launch from the Xbox app in that many years.
