3.0 broke the Steam achievement system

I seem to be the only one to notice (and speak up). Steam tracks achievements as does the in game Achievement challengers page.

Below are the patch note changes that went into effect, the first one in particular is what I am noticing an issue with. Currently 3.0 didn't just add 36 achievements as far as Steam is concerned, it REPLACED several, leading to incorrect icons, strange statistics, and an inability to get certain achievements in game that you already unlocked with Steam (I cannot get the achievement Augmentation for instance, no matter how many times I try it).

Patch Notes about achievements:

*Added 36 new Achievements.
*The Achievements Breaking Free, Ascension, Vengeance have been renamed to Challenger, Leader and Lord, and are no longer gained by completing the story on various difficulties. Instead, these achievements are obtained by completing the first three Labyrinths.
*The Achievements Fearless, Dauntless and Indomitable are no longer gained by completing the story on various difficulties in Hardcore. Instead, these achievements are obtained by completing the first three Labyrinths on Hardcore.
*The Achievement End of the Nightmare no longer requires that you kill Malachai, the Nightmare with each class, and instead just require that you kill Malachai, the Nightmare once.
*The Achievements All Ears, No Stone Unturned, Locomancer and No Loose Ends have been updated to work with the new act content.
*The Achievement Cut Throat can now be earned by killing another player anywhere, not just in a Cut Throat race.


To help you guys out, here are some of the Achievements that were replaced on Steam. (This isn't all of them as I'm feeling really sick today). Here is a link so you can check for yourself and compare
https://steamcommunity.com/stats/PathofExile/achievements

- Quintessence replaced Alchemist's Stone
- Deicide replaced Bringer of Pain
- Untouchable replaced Cleanser (LOL)
- Treasure Hunter replaced Dispelling the Curse
- Deadly Sins replaced Engulfed in Flames
- Warlord replaced Imperfections
- Beyond Death replaced Invested with Blood (This is how I noticed it, because the icon doesn't match the achievement at all, and I was really proud when I got Invested in Blood)
- Emperor replaced Gladiator
- Loyal to the End replaced Umbra Slayer
- Heretic replaced Purifier
- Decimation replaced Soothsaying

As I said these are not all of them, before the patch there were 85 achievements and currently there are 102, 85 old + 36 new =121 total. You can see where the problem is.

I really like achievements and getting them, so being locked out of certain achievements or having Steam tell me I killed Endgame Izaro on Hardcore when I have never even hit 60 on Hardcore is bothersome to say the least.

Never used steam, but I'm getting plenty of green error messages related to achievements ....
There might be a link there, it's pretty weird honestly.

First time I got those errors was during this patch as well, although according to google those errors messages have happened in the past. It is possible it may have increased in frequency since 3.0 though.

A reminder that this is still a thing.

It's not just Steam - Achievements are also broken on the standalone client.

Steam is still missing a lot of the achievements.
