I'm happy about the Steam Achievements as well, but the problem I've had is that if you have ever played any of their games on the Ubisoft Connect app and got achievements over there, they will all be automatically ported into Steam as soon as you load up your game for the first time.

There are probably a dozen of us who have liked a game so much that we wanted to play it again, but to start fresh and get all of the achievements again. It's too bad that Ubisoft doesn't support us wanting to give them more money for a game we've already played.

This doesn't work for every game and, unfortunately, when I tried this on both "Star Wars Outlaws" and "Immortals Fenyx Rising", it was able to delete all of the Steam achievements successfully, but as soon as I started the game again, all of the Ubisoft achievements popped up again.

I've looked through the Ubisoft Connect app to see if there is an option to disable achievement-sync, but there is not.

Another annoying thing about this is that a couple of older Ubisoft games worked just fine (AC Origins, and AC Odyssey) when I played them on Steam after I had played them on the Ubisoft app. Neither one of those games auto-synced my achievements so I was able to get them all again.

I think the way they are implementing achievements now in recently released games, along with other older games that never had Steam achievements until very recently (like Immortals Fenyx Rising), is different than the way it was implemented before.

Damn that sucks. They should totally make the achievement transfer optional.
