Anybody else having this problem. I've got 19 that show up on Steam but the game doesn't even show up on my list here on GB.
Alien Swarm
Game » consists of 1 releases. Released Jul 19, 2010
A freeware top-down co-operative shooter where a squad of marines must investigate and prevent the spread of a rampant alien infestation. It was originally a total conversion for Unreal Tournament 2004 before its team, hired by Valve for other projects, completed it as a side-project.
Achievements not showing up on site
When did you get those achievements? It generally takes less then three days for GB to update with your Steam account.
Yeah, I have 52 achievements for the game and I got my first few on the day that the game was released. It still doesn't show up in my account. Never had problems with syncing before.
On the achievement page, it shows only one person that has achievements for the game.

" The xml format for Alien Swarm is different from the other achievement games, so sites such as GB doesn't know how to read them. "Thank you for posting this, I knew the problem was most likely on the Steam end and not Giant Bomb's end but I'd been curious to know what exactly the problem was.
" The xml format for Alien Swarm is different from the other achievement games, so sites such as GB doesn't know how to read them. "I know Raptr wasn't tracking the game's achievements for quite a while, but they finally got it started to recognize them sometime in the last week or 2. I'm not sure how much work it would be, but it would seem it's doable to get the site to recognize them.

SteamStats still have the same problem as GB. I don't think Valve should expect every tracker side to change their code just because they wanted to try something new with one game. "I don't know how GB parses the xml code that you can get from the game steam stats (normally you do: http://steamcommunity.com/id/USERNAME/stats/GAME/achievements?xml=1), but you have to do a workaround for Alien Swarm ( http://steamcommunity.com/id/USERNAME/stats/AlienSwarm/achievements?tab=achievements&xml=all ) .
If someone tells whomever in GB makes the achievements script work (if he/she doesn't know this already), the problem might be sorted.
It only shows up in one users feed." @Forcen said:
" Why isn't this fixed yet? "Alien Swarm doesn't even show up in my feed. "
