Achievements not appearing on TA? See here

    There's a number of reasons why TA may not be picking up your achievements.

    1. Xbox Live privacy setting issue.

    A warning sign would appear on a profile with privacy settings on. A profile with privacy settings enabled looks like this.

    How to rectify this:

    First, log in to your Xbox LIVE profile and go to Privacy & Online Settings. You want to make sure others can see your game and app history, so scroll down to this option and select 'Everybody'. This will allow the site to view your game and app history for all Xbox consoles.

    If that looks ok, it's possible that xbox.com had an outage last time you were scanned. You can attempt to update this status by selecting 'Request Update' underneath your gamertag in the top-right, or under the 'Gamer' dropdown on your profile page.

    Please note that sometimes a privacy icon will not appear on your profile even if your privacy settings are enabled.

    2. Missing games after signing up

    Sometimes after signing up to TA, the scanners will miss a number of games on your title. This happens due to the amount of info being picked up in one single scan. This will usually rectify itself, but you can request an update on your profile, or PM a moderator for a full rescan.

    3. TA/Xbox Live hiccups. Sometimes the scanners have a hiccup and do not pick up an achievement in a scan. One of these steps should fix it.

    - PM a moderator and ask for a full rescan - TrueAchievements Staff
    - Earning another achievement in the game may push the stuck achievement through.
    - Switching your privacy settings on and then off again.
    - If you've done all the above, then it's a waiting game. Usually these things will fix themselves in a short timespan.

    4. 0G Achievements missing

    The scanners look for changes in gamerscore so sometimes 0G achievements don't come through. To fix this, either earn another achievement in the same game or contact the staff and they can fix your account.

    Other queries

    I have a streak going! Will I lose it?!
    No. As long as the timestamp is correct and connects the streak, it will not end. However, you may need to rebuild the streak manually when the stuck achievement(s) appear on site.

    To rebuild your streak, go to your full streak page by clicking the green arrow on the streak sidebar, then click rebuild.

    My achievement is "Done! Unlocking..."

    See 'Done! Unlocking...' what does it mean?

    So I played games on my Windows Phone 8, the gamerscore synced to my Windows Phone, but I still have 40,049 GS on Xbox.com & here when I should have 40,169? Still so confused why it's not synced?

    It's not to do with privacy settings. Did you earn these achievements offline? Or is there anyway to force the sync? You could try restarting all apps and/or your phone.

    I'm having this issue now. I've done two scans but my TA score isn't going up. I haven't touched any privacy settings.

    I got two achievements in Dirt 3, online and timestamped, but they aren't showing up on site (but I did get a gamerscore milestone).
    Here be dragons.

    Looks like I've got a problem now. I've tried requesting an update, but it doesn't seem to be working. Privacy settings look fine. Been trying to scan in a challenge from Lego Star Wars TFA.

    I had 12k GS today, play abzu and completed it so i should have 13k but TA acknowledged my completion and all of the 12 achievements but my GS was only 12950 both on xbox.com and TA. Xbox.com shows all 12 achievements unlocked but didn't give me credit for one of the 50gs achievements and my TA gs is reflecting that same issue but that i have all the achievements.

    none of my achievements for Abzu say Done 100% unlocking or anything like that. they just say unlocked and they all popped up on screen except Food Chain but shows that i did get it. any idea what i can do? I did the whole bring up the achievement on xbox.com and on the dashboard

    Try heading to the ABZU game hub and it might fix itself.

    That's weird. Did you hard reset your console?

    Greetings! I have been directed to this site by a Microsoft helper who could not solve my issue with Xbox 360 achievements in the Activity Feed saying, "We were unable to retrieve this activity item. It may not be available at the moment, or it may have been deleted." They advised me to post this issue in the forum to be solved. (My apologies if this is not the correct area to post - please direct me to the proper area if this is the case.)

    I have reset the System Cache, changed various account settings (even though none of those settings changed prior to things not working anymore), as well as going so far as creating a Dummy Account to test with, and I am still unable to see the details of any of my friends' (or for that matter, MY OWN) achievements in the Feed. This has been ongoing since sometime around the March/April 2016 Xbox 360 update. Can someone help with this?

    Xbox 360 Forum is the best place to post this.
