The SCORE ABSOLUTE achievement is currently broken, because the game is looking at the leaderboard to check your total score. Sadly the leaderboard went down in August 2023, so the game can no longer fetch this information.

This guide will show you how to fix this issue.

The method used in this guide does NOT delegitimize the achievement, as you still have to fulfill the requirement to obtain the achievement.

Edit :
Got an answer from the devs on their Discord. For posterity, here it is !

Before starting the game, I saw another player asking the devs on the forum why he wasn't able to obtain this achievement, and what was the precise requirement. No one answered him, and he confirmed to me that he didn't get the achievement since his post.

I decided to 100% the game anyway. And of course I ran into the same problem myself.

But being a developer (though not a game dev) come with some perks, and among them : the will to understand how things work. Or in this case, why it does NOT work.

So I decompiled the game code, and I started digging.

I was able to locate the place where the achievement was triggered, and confirmed it needed the leaderboard up and running to access the user total score, as well as the precise requirement : you need to obtain at least 10_101_010 points across all the levels for this achievement.

So there is a little typo in the achievement description, because it's saying you need 10_101_101 points.

Quick explanation :
Since the leaderboard is down, I thought of a simple way to get the user total score : adding up the scores of all levels. Yes, just by making a simple sum, we now have the information needed to check whether or not we deserve our achievement !


On Windows, navigate to {{SteamLibrary}}\steamapps\common\Desync\DESYNC_Data\Managed, where {{SteamLibrary}} is the folder where your Steam library is located (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam).

On Linux, navigate to {{SteamLibrary}}/steamapps/common/Desync/DESYNC_Data/Managed, where {{SteamLibrary}} is the folder where your Steam library is located (usually ~/.steam/steam).

Make a backup of Assembly-CSharp.dll just in case, as we will replace it.

Download the edited Assembly-CSharp.dll file here[drive.google.com] and replace the original file with it.

And ... we're done. Yes, that's all you need to do !

Once the file is replaced, just start the game, and walk a little. After a few seconds (and if you have the total score needed), the achievement will pop.

It's simple to reach the requirement for this achievement. But as a little extra help, I also added the total score in the General Statistics tab in the basement (the computer at the left of the spherical level selector).





At the end of the list, you can see the number of levels done, as well as your total score. If you completed all levels, you should have 21 levels here (3 zones having 4 levels each, plus 3 aberration zones having 3 levels each).

If you need some help with the game, or if you notice something wrong with my fix, do not hesitate to leave a comment here, and I'll reply as soon as I can !
