Achievement-Watcher VS vcredist

I don't know if it's the same thing, but there's this although it's not active anymore

Since you've replaced the original steam_api64.dll with a steam emulator, you'd have to add it as a Non-Steam game. Then it'd show a play button, but I don't think game tracking and achievements will work unless you add achievement watcher to your list of installed apps.

Ok, I’ve been trying to make achievement watcher work for God of War but I’m fairly new to this. First of all I downloaded the game from RARGB and managed to play it successfully, then I downloaded AW but it was not showing the game so I followed the steps in this post but still wasn’t showing. Then I downloaded Goldberg Emu and followed the steps on this video and then the steps of this post, and I managed to get the game to show up in AW, however I noticed that the achievements weren’t unlocking so I followed the AW Wiki on the Goldberg section and I noticed that the folder steam_settings was not on my installation folder, a quick read through Goldberg’s read me I found that if the folder was not there then you had to create it yourself, so I did that, however achievements are still not unlocking.

Apparently the answer is kinda - https://github.com/xan105/Achievement-Watcher/wiki/Compatibility

Achievement Watcher

I use Achievement Watcher, which works pretty well, but is sometimes difficult to set up depending on where you downloaded your games. For the most part, it does auto-detect games that you have installed, but not always.

p.s. I am not sure if this applies to you, but I heard 'unarc.dll' errors can potentially be fixed by installing... https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases ; basically the "VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe". it's basically a all-in-one visual c++ as it makes all of that stuff up to date.

1) VC++ redist is corrupt, reinstall these

is this the one https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist?

hey man, just download this, then reboot your PC and it should do the trick.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005-2008-2010-2012-2013-2022 Redistributable Package (forum.oszone.net, VisualCppRedist AIO Repack GitHub)

https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases - this sorts out MS mess.

Then in order to update VC I recommend downloading the all in one pack make sure to grab v73 https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases it will download every single VC redistributable & update existing ones.
