Why can't i earn achievements in my hardcore world but i have a microsoft account, i can't...

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with earning achievements.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

To set your expectations properly, achievements are disabled if cheats were ever turned on, even once. And if your world was opened in Creative Mode, achievements will remain locked permanently.

There are also mods can disable achievements. Please create a new world without any mods or packs and test it out if you can earn achievements from there.

If your world files are corrupted, achievements will not register.

Also achievements take time to sync with Xbox Live. Kindly restart your game and log out & back into your Microsoft account.

Then update your game. Ensure that you are running the latest version of Minecraft.

And to check the Achievement menu. Open the Game Menu and select Achievements. If achievements are locked, your world is not be eligible.

Thank you for your cooperation.

. But in order to earn achievements, it has to conenct to some sort of Microsoft server correct? My concern is if I earn achievements in a backup of the game via an ISO copy, would Microsoft see that as a pirated copy? I dont want to get banned for earning
achievements in a "pirated game", I'm just unsure if Microsoft specifically has any rules about using ISO backups and i can't seem to find anything elsewhere online about this subject.

You can't earn achievements for these games anymore as these games can not connect to Live. You can only play these games offline.

That's why the GOG.com version of Fallout 3 has no GFWL functionality, the box for Live is greyed out. The Batman games sold on Steam have Steam achievements now.

I can't find a single hardcore server anywhere in the world even a full game. I thought it was an issue with my nat being moderate at the time, however after a long fight with my router I have finally made it open (stupid UPnP!!!) and I still can't find
any hardcore games. Whats the deal? Has anyone heard anything from EA why there are none or few?!

It is doing this to all of the achievements. I can play the game fine just can't get achievements because it says I'm missing episodes. I bought the game on my old xbox on account A. After license transferring and re-downloading I can't earn achievements
on account B on a different xbox.

I understand I can't get my score back but they are saying you can't get the achievements but I do and they stay there. Besides I never cheated so I'm just wondering why I get the achievements back when you guys say you don't. My account started *** up ever
since I let a friend borrow my hard drive but whatever like I said I earned my achievements and can do it again. No big deal
