Product Update - Valve
Nov 2, 2009
A new update for Everyday Genius: SquareLogic has been released.

Included in the update are:
  • Various fixes related to Stats & Achievements
  • Fix for missing "Paint Colors" on some Hidden-Cage puzzles
  • Support for creating additional player profiles

More specific details on these changes:


  • Player Profiles: SquareLogic now supports the creation of additional player profiles. Each profile has its own progress, stats, and achievements. However, additional profiles you create are (necessarily) non-Steam profiles, and therefore have a couple of limitations: (1) they store their savegame data locally on your hard drive, not online on Steam's Cloud service; (2) their stats and achievements are NOT uploaded to Steam (only your Steam player profile does that). You can delete and re-create local (non-Steam) player profiles as often as you wish; however, you may never delete your Steam player profile as that exists on Steam itself.
  • Resetting Stats & Achievements: When you click the "Reset all progress" button on the campaign screen (above the "Achievements" button), you now get a confirmation dialog warning you that if you reset your overall progress, ALL of your stats and achievements will also be reset. If this is a Steam user, stats and achievements will also be reset on Steam. Note that resetting a specific region (like "Ocean") or location (like "Beginnings") will not reset any stats or achievements.
  • Stat & Achievement Synchronization with Steam: Previously, stats & achievements earned while offline, or during the Demo, would not always properly get set on Steam. It turns out sometimes even when you're online that's the case, for reasons unknown (the Steam API reports the update but it never registers). So we've added code that attempts to re-synchronize your stats & achievements up to Steam whenever it detects they are out of date. The net result is that Steam should usually be up-to-date immediately but occasionally will miss a beat and get updated shortly thereafter (when you solve a puzzle or restart SquareLogic, etc).
  • Regional Achievements: Achievements for finishing regions (Held My Breath, Cave Potato, Tree Hugger, Llama Mama, Clear Skies, Billions and Billions) and other similar Achievements (Clean Plate Club, Piece of Cake) will now only be awarded when you *actually* earn them. Any of these that you have already earned will now be correctly awarded to you. NOTE: Due to a variety of reasons, we have decided NOT to take away any achievements that have already been awarded to you prior to the patch. Note also that for Clean Plate Club and Piece of Cake you are not penalized for skipping any of the 12 "practice" puzzles prior to the Challenge Puzzle.
