Achievement location on screen when activated

No, they only block certain achievements, it'll say at the top left corner of the screen when you activate them.

Have you changed your console's location? Because in the new countries that have joined September 5, the Activity Feed doesn't show new achievements and clips. Only when someone adds a friend. If you change your location to the UK or US, it works again.
I hope they resolve this issue with the October update.

Personally, I like it when games get you to do things you may not typically do to get an achievement. I.e. try a new activity, or go to an obscure location. This way, it helps you to explore more aspects of the game that you possibly would have missed
otherwise.

There are 2 possibilities.

Does your account region match your actual location?

Some games are region locked and so your account region must match you actual physical location.

If you account region does match your location then there is another possible reason.

There is a bug in the dashboard software that corrupts downloads if you use background downloading.

When you download a game it is essential that you stay on the active downloads screen otherwise you may get a can't download error.

So go into your storage settings, and delete the partially downloaded games. Then try downloading again but make sure you stay on the active downloads screen. If you play a game or app or shut the console down for background downloading the download will
corrupt and you will get a can't download error.

IF you go to active downloads there should be an option to change its destination.
