Requesting Permission, Top Gun, Roller Boogie and No One Can Defeat the Masher Fix
By zetul
Because of the current version of the game, the achievements Requesting Permission, Top Gun, Roller Boogie and No One Can Defeat the Masher, are bugged/broken, but there is a way of obtaining them. You need to do the following:

1. - open the windows start tab > Run > write command "steam://nav/console"

2. - in the console write "download_depot 240340 240341 5193532478078850827 : download a single depot" - this will download an older version of the game. The console won't show you the download progress, but after a while it should show you when and where the download was completed. Should be "Steam\steamapps\content\app_240340\depot_240341"

3. - copy the downloaded files into the game's installation directory. Just right click on the game in the steam library > manage files > Browse Local Files and paste everything in the folder that opens up. Replace the .EXE file when asked to.


All this should have reverted the game the it's oldest version, when the achievements weren't broken. When opening up the game you should also see that the menu is completely different from the new version. The achievements should be obtainable now.


Happy Hunting

P.S. Thanks to L0rd Juli0 and Stranger for pointing me in the right directions on how to fix this problem.

Not had this game long but i noticed that even with the visual move prompt disabled, it's still there, it just doesn't flash the directions. Worst of all they have misspelled "Cabinet" in the options menu???? I got Ace and Dragons Lair I & II for a good price but unfortunately, this conversion seems shonky at best.

Ok. What was the point of them updating the game when the old version worked just fine?

eeeeiiii! There you go. No worries, glad you got them in the end :D. Congrats!

I figured out the problem. This is because the game did not load completely, I transferred the files too early, some videos were not loaded there yet. Sorry to disturb you and thanks for the great guide!

Maybe the windows is the problem? I run on Windows 11 64-bit

I really don't know what to tell you Pascalbatronic :(. I saw a lot of people commenting the same issue as you, but I wouldn't know why you and others have this problem. For me I simply did the exact thing I described in the guide and it worked. I didn't run the game in any compatibility modes or didn't change any start up options from steam's game proprieties.
If the game doesn't run from steam, try also running the .EXE game file directly. If that doesn't work either I'm sorry I can't help further

I'm having an issue, the game won't open after downloading the older version, it opens for half a second and then crashes, no error message or anything. Compatibility options didn't work :/
