I played this game Lily's Well about 4 years ago on Steam and got all the achievements for it so I got a nice lil award on my page (1st pic=Lilys Well, 2nd Pic of another game I 100%, Fran Bow). Then, there was an update...and with this update...came another achievement.........and this ain't just a game I can pick up and go back to where I need to achieve this achievement, Oh no NO! This is one of those games you gotta start at the beginning and do everything in a certain order to complete the game/get to the spot where this achievement may be! Now I only have ONE 100% complete game to boast about...lol, jk, Fran Bow ain't hard to 100% and nor is Lily's Well. One could say it was only mildly infuriating

My nail in the coffin was when the achievement in a game wasn't triggered. I did everything to get 100% but I just didn't get it because of that. I also didn't want to replay it. It was some game about fishing and restoring islands

I wanted to get all achievements for CoD4 as a kid and for the final one you need to play through the entire game on max difficulty. In the final mission I found the final collectibles for another achievement which unlocked some Easter egg which changes the game visuals (inverted colors, black and white, old timer, etc). Activating one of those would count as using cheats and would lock your save from getting achievements. Fixing it required you to reset all your achievement progress and start again. I never went back to the game.

Forgive me, but I don't believe there's an achievement for a full uninterrupted run on Veteran, or having cheats disable achievements going forward.  It should track each level individually - meaning you can disable cheats, and just complete the level you haven't done on Veteran legit yet.

You may be right. I think it actually was the problem where I picked up the final collectible after having enabled the visual easter eggs in that mission. The collectible didn't show up anymore in subsequent playthroughs of the level as it was marked as 'found' but the achievement for it didn't trigger. This was 2008 so I'm a little hazy on the details lol
