Updating steam achievements to "catch up" to non-steam play?

[RS219]

Hello everyone, got a question but also need so sleep so I won't be around for the next few hours.

That friend I talked about a while ago is finally on Warframe! It only took him 7 months of slowly, agonizingly downloading the game.

He is able to play Warframe with or without Steam turned on. This leads me to my question: Is there any way to get Warframe to resync with Steam and update his Steam achievements if he was playing without Steam turned on prior to that?

I know there's manual force-unlocking via Steam Achievement Manager but I'd like to know if alternate options are available before resorting to that.

You gotta wait for the next line of achievements, they usually resync them then.

Huh! Interesting to know, thanks.

I stopped using steam as a launcher when I wanted to play 2 games at once and it blocked me, one a free to play (warframe), another I paid for. I could understand not being able to play the same game on 2 computers but two entirely different games and one being free to play?

Also I used to have problems with the warframe launcher crashing when launched by steam.

Thanks for info. Very interesting...

OP, if @Pumpkin_Head's statement is true then that's it.

No other way to re-sync manually. Only the devs can do it.

Or yeah, just use SAM.

idk, I used the discord launcher for a while and when I started playing the achievements caught up immediately but that's my personal experience, I'm not sure.

Oh good, I was wondering that myself. I mean, they're just Steam cheevos, but still...it bugged me.
