Attempted that - doesn't work. The profile still stays fixed with all your achievements.



I'm positive Bioware will be able to help us do this soon enough. Maybe once they get the critical patches out of the way.

Bump for more information. I am thinking of restarting the game in general as I didn't know what I was doing for the most part with this character and now that I know what I am doing I want to replay and earn the achievements more properly. They should give us such an option. It isn't like we are going to hack to unlock all the achievements. In fact giving us the chance to reset isn't hacking at all. We just want a clean start.

It sucks that Bioware didn't even think of adding reset/deglobalize achievements options =/

My bro's playing DAO and have unlocked some achievements. When he beats it, I will start a new game... no more achievements for me to unlock. Well, guess it's not a big deal about it.

EDIT: If asked to just make a new account to solve this little problem, it's not possible to use my DLCs/bonus items since I redeemed the codes =/

My wife and I both play we would like to see what we each have accomplished. Bioware goofed on this point.

Yes it's possible. Delete or rename the file Profile.dap in the \\BioWare\\Dragon Age\\Settings folder under your Documents system folder.

This file is immediately repaired as soon as you log into the server to authenticate DLC and it restores the profile's achievements.

Exactly. Would really like to see some sort of Developer comment. This thread can't have been missed consistently the whole time it's been active.

This is working as they intended it to, and while requesting features is fine, I doubt they will be concerning themselves with new features until the larger issues (such as identifying and repairing the cause of the slowdown which results in massive load times) are corrected. Especially, since this particular request would require a rework of both the game and the code that works with the social site (which we know already has people who don't get updated at all).

Oh, I don't keep my profile online and don't login when I play. I'm entirely offline, so it worked fine for me.

Well, alternatively you can modify the [OnlineOptions] section in DragonAge.ini - I made some changes and my Profile.dap does not revert anymore, so I can start with a clean slate.
And the official DLCs have to be authorized only once, if I remember correctly, so you don't have to be constantly logged in.

I guess that's the only solution for now.

Edit:
And yes, deleting Profile.dap, apart from removing all achievements, also solves the companion-related bugs I suffered from, though I have to use separate profiles for different characters.

OK, I am igniting a spark for this thread! Has anyone figured out how to accomplish the following:



Q1. Is there a way to reset the Achievements both online and on the PC, since they are both one of the same?



I started playing the game, as many have, when it was first released to try out different PC's and ultimately ended up with 3 or more characters that were bound for the dumpster! I have since deleted them, online and on the PC. However, their individual Achievements have NOT been deleted with them. Everything else has vanished as expected on a deletion, but the Achievements are stuck. So I ask yet again:



Q2. Is there a way to reset the Achievements both online and on the PC, since they are both one of the same?

I understand your feeling, the only issue is that some achievements can only be obtained through multiple play-throughs, with different gendered characters. Just a thought.

to be honest it's not a bad idea, have a 'delete achievements' button in the profile page - it's a nice option to have, we'll have to wait and see.

Never thought of that aspect, Thanks!  Will have to recheck the achievements to see if that pertains.  But as also mentioned, it would be nice to have the option to delete the ones we choose to, just like we do with everything else online with the exception of the achievements...

I actually put in a ticket on this, and a week later they finally respond, FWIW.

EA truly suck - I would say you need Bioware to chip in on this one, and at the moment I think that they've got their hands full with bugs!



Not to say I would not like this option because I would.

If you notice, the game DOES notify you when you unlock specializations, even if you've already unlocked them with other characters.

So, maybe it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to keep track of all achievements by character in similar fashion, if only at a local level. With the current frustrations uploading profiles, adding things to that queue may not be a good idea.

Really appreciate someone taking that extra step. This is really disappointing. Ah well.

I guess we have to do this the old fashion way, with pen and paper!

well after talking to customer support on EA.com live chat, I was lead to believe that if you deleted your Social site account, that it would also delete all your uploaded content including achievements and Specialization unlocks, but you will still be able to play the DLC since DLC is linked to the EA master account. And then create a new social site account using the EA master account information. So I deleted my original account.



Good news, I can still play the game with all my DLC.

Bad news:

1- Achievements and unlocks were still downloaded to me

2- I can't create a social site account now linked to my EA master account.



So, the achievements and specialization unlocks are linked to your EA master account, and not your Social Site Profile account. Deleting your account only deletes screenshots and any character information uploaded.

That's a shame. You did save me going through all that hassle though.



I noticed there is now a "Profile Diagnostics" link on the character page. Perhaps this will let us reset our achievements?

No, it's just provides diagnostic information, likely useful if you (like me) have issues with data not getting uploaded to the site because you've got two profile_IDs linked to the social site account.

It's such a mess that I definitely do want to start over completely, wipe the data associated with this account, get the two profile IDs wiped and get all those screen caps and what-not uploaded from scratch.  As it stands, even after they fix the double-profile problem, I'll still be losing all those auto-generated screen shots from the achievement unlocks.
