I hate writing this because Firewatch is one of my all time favorite games and stories I have ever had the pleasure of playing through, BUT wow is trying to play through steam the biggest headache I have ever experienced. From movement bugs to achievement bugs still happening in 2026!! It is extremely disappointing that there has been zero fix for what seems like such a simple issue. I played my first PC playthrough back in 2024 happened to miss 2 achievements (I didn't miss them, they just refused to pop), so today I decided to finally jump back in the saddle and clear up these last two achievements. Luckily just hopping into my old save completed one of them (Ol' Shoshone), but there was still the one remaining (The Life and Times of Raccoon Carter). I am now giving up completely after over 2.5 HOURS and over 100 save-and-restarts, just trying to get this one simple achievement. I have tried everything I could find just to get the movement to work from enabling/disabling VSYNC, spamming the map, changing to controller, and saving/reloading the game. Oh, and this is also after successfully completing the achievement 3 times in that span, but unable to get the achievement to pop. It is so disappointing seeing the game in a state of being unplayable. If anyone has any other suggestions or fixes I am open to hearing you out, because it is extremely depressing seeing this game in my library with one achievement missing (that I have completed at least 4 times now) and I would LOVE to get another actual playthrough in of this amazing game.
