Question about the steam library integration

/u/KyleHillan95 · Jul 5, 2025

I'm mainly an Xbox gamer so almost every single one of my games are owned on console. I bought an rog ally and have been doubling down or trying out some different windows and game pass games.

My friend added me into his steam family and has almost 1000 games on it and I noticed that games from Microsoft like the halo series retroactively unlocked all the achievements I had and added them to my steam account. Now with the steam library extension in the Xbox app, is there anything like that with Xbox achievements unlocking from what I've gotten on steam? Or is the halo example only because you need a Microsoft account to play the halo games on steam so it syncs up and thus unlocking the achievements?

Just wondering how or if this is implemented with anything in the steam library to Xbox account as I love achievement hunting however I do get that games are all from different devs and may be a bit too hopeful thinking this achievement sync thing would be a thing

Hi, PavelEU! I'm Kim, an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

Is this the only game that is having this issue on steam? Please also try restarting your computer then launch Steam

Next, you can either right click the game in your Library, or click the gear icon from the game's Library page on the far right

From the drop down menu, select Properties...

Select the Local Files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files button.

Assuming you're playing on PC (in this case, via Steam's client) try going to your Steam Library then right-clicking Terraria, and clicking Properties. Go to the Local Files tab and click "Verify integrity of game cache". That will scan your game directory
and compare it to the most updated version to find file differences and download files it's missing.

Hopefully this helps!

Hi,

What does the BSOD say exactly? What's your system specifications?

The advantage of the Steam version is that you can verify the game install integrity. Find your game in the Steam Library, right click and select properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files.

The example below was for Doom Eternal, but you can do this on all Steam installed games.

Have you tried to repair game files through the Steam app?

Please, try repairing the game files:

Restart your computer and launch Steam

Next, you can either right-click the game in your Library, or click the gear icon from the game's Library page on the far right

From the drop-down menu, select Properties.

Select the Local Files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files. button

Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes

Then, please, do these next ones:

On Steam, go to Steam > Settings > Download > Clear Download Cache > Clear Cache

Then, still on Steam:

Steam > Settings > Storage > Click the three dots ... > Repair Library.

Let me know if it works!
