You can try using a different browser, but a more reliable way might be to change your settings to use Newgrounds Player instead.


If the option is available that is... The saddest part if you wanna get most of the achievements out of a single game.

You'd have to mess around a lot with browsers, something with secure tracking (one specific flash had such issue) and using different methods from going from Ruffle only to NG Player.

I wish it was easier to confront such nuisance but it is a hassle to work with it.


As a protip too: if there are even new released games that have medals they will have issues due to small inconsistency.

So not everything is perfect.

Madness Accelerant achievements have either long delay to function or work fine but it's a 50-50 gamble. You have to sit through a very poor performance play until you hopefully get everything.

People have earned these as recently as two days ago. Did you earn them after 30-60 minutes of playing? Some games lose connection to the NG API after a while. If you reload the game and go back to the badges page (sometimes clicking on the specific one will do it), do they resubmit?

See my news post with medal hunting links and tools. I made a program NGMedals that finds your statistics and unearned medals.

There is also a browser script.

I did, I even earned another medal while at it. The 2 in question still do not appear.

And what about the one of Poltergifts? Is there anything I can do about it or is it a lost cause?

Alula Falling #1's Golden Astronaut (screenshotted below) is outright unobtainable - whilst it is visible on screen, it cannot be clicked on (either by using the mouse or by using Tab):

iu_1201787_14526566.webp

Checking the Astronaut's Medal Details shows the last people to got it earned it on 8th December 2016, indicating JackAstral introduced the bug around that time.


Judging by Magnus727's medal guide, the textbox is the root cause of this issue - his screenshots for the other games (#2, #3, #4, #5) show their Astronauts to be partially or completely above the textbox.


Downloading the SWF and opening it in JPEXS also shows the Astronaut (given the name "goldenToken") has a lower depth value than the textbox (given the name "dialogueBox_mc")

iu_1201786_14526566.png

With that in mind, there's two potential fixes for this; either moving the Astronaut upwards so it is no longer covered by the textbox, or increasing its depth above 33.


(NB: I have known about this issue since May 1st - apologies for not reporting it here sooner)

the last user that got the first level achievement was June 28th, 2020. These achievements are completely broken. If you read the comments between July 2021 and and April 2023, you can see that they're complaining about the achievements not working as attended.

You might wanna restart your browser or page. Usually takes few tries until the servers / site itself registers medals.

It can usually be just synchronization stuttering.

I've tried repeatedly restarting the page and finishing VicIous Volcano normally, but the medal still hasn't popped.

I think someone's gonna have to award me it manually - I think I've broken this medal somehow.

No medal was awarded, and no high score was posted, upon finishing the game.

Testing confirms this issue occurs on both Ruffle (Chrome/Firefox) and NG Player.


Medal Details indicate the issue has been occurring since September 2023:

The game won't reward you medals anymore, I used to collect 5/7 medals from that game around March of 2016, sadly, the game will instead open up a pop-up to the game, and when you either collect the coins, trophies or the old record, the medals won't be transferred to your account, so now all the medals are broken.

The medals that I didn't receive are all from the FRIDAY NIGHT FUNKIN' game.
I did exactly the conditions the game asked for and I didn't receive any.

Try Firefox and see if that does the trick. If not come back here again.
Last time I tried it on that browser and worked for me.

as mentioned on my first response,
the virtual machine (linux) only had firefox downloaded, and i didn't get the medal on there either, on a friday night

just tested again now with my current account, and i didn't get the game starting medal
according to what tom fulp said, i think it's not just an issue on my end, it seems like it's been occuring to other people as well for a couple weeks now, and perhaps it's some kinda recently published minor update/changes that screwed with the medal system? i'm not sure

can vouch on this too, been trying to get the medals for about a year and messed around with adblocker + different browsers just in case without any luck, did everything the game had to offer too

i did see there were some still able to get the medals so at first i didn't know if i missed something or what

Can you link to some specific examples? I could see if it's something that can get fixed.

These are working for me via Ruffle, are you loading them with NG Pjayer?

incidentally, i've also been going through gamezhero games lately, and have been stuck on this one specifically:


seems like when launched via newgrounds player, it's constantly stuck on loading.

meanwhile when launched via ruffle, it loads, but after pressing play the game's stuck on a black screen.

there's options in the top right corner which allow to "pause" the screen, and the pause menu works fine, meaning it's not like the game isn't working; but either the game itself has broken, or there's a second non-visible loading screen that takes way too much to load? idk

i haven't tried any of the games you've listed, and the other gameszhero games i played so far have worked just fine with newgrounds player.

but when they don't, trying to use ruffle should work.

unless it's a specific case, medals should work with it as well, in general

I have a couple of broken medals to report, both in the game "Epic Battle Fantasy 2."

The first medal is one you earn by finishing the game on the "hard" setting, which I did, yet I never unlocked the medal.

The second medal is one you earn by getting 5000 or more points in one of the mini-games available in the menu, which I also did but never got the medal for.

I took a screenshot of the issue with the second medal to showcase the error:

iu_1312108_23327242.webp

(I have no reliable screenshot regarding the problem with the first medal. I didn't take a screenshot of me beating the game on hard difficulty as I didn't think to do so until I returned back to the menu of the game and then realize I didn't actually get the medal for whatever reason, the only screenshot I could take about the first medal is one showing my last save on the "hard" setting, which is 66% through the game)

Anyway, I would love to have these issues fixed, if it is possible. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what the problem is, so help will be appreciated!

Update: this game works fine if launched with NG Player using Opera browser. On Chrome and Firefox it freezes at the intro as I said, only Opera works. Medals work fine as well.



Also, I tried playing Orange Roulette but medals don't seem to work on any browser, at least for me. Pop-ups appear in game but the medals don't unlock. However there are still few people unlocking medals as of today, I wonder if they work using a specific browser? Also I don't really understand why the game is considered "insecure" and needs to be played on another tab. I've seen several medal games in that state, and all of them tend to have issues with medals.

Update 2: Orange Roulette medals can be unlocked by adding "/format/flash" at the end of the URL, which makes the game launchable via NG Player. However, this method does not work for other games that too are "insecure" and forced to be played on another tab, like Antumbra or You Are Slime.
