Same problem

by svanleusden | March 26 2013

Installed -> restarted VS2010 -> opening VS2010 -> plugin crashed :-(

Any fix coming soon?

by The Uncivil Engineer | January 28 2013

Installed, error on open, disabled.

I keep getting an error message when loading visual studio. I had to uninstall it.

by Gasner Software Inc_ | December 28 2012

Was awesome, until the last update when it decided to crap out.

by krokador | December 18 2012

last update crashed the entire extension. I keep getting an error message when loading visual studio. Uninstalled. It coulda been fun, but it's not worth it.

Funny

by XMaverick | November 07 2012

It's really funny to have achievements while coding. I like really this extension, and I install it in every Visual Studio box I have.

by Thiag0coelho | November 06 2012

Need more achievements indeed!
Quite good anyway

by Evangi Studio | November 06 2012

Excellent, but "Show me the cache" doesn't want to work :)

Need more achievements!! :)

This is so badass, I love it!! I'm glad someone took the time to make this awesome, and I hope there's more to come :-)

by DarkAngel1004 | August 26 2012

That's a nice idea to get some fun into coding.

by M.Radwan-MVP | August 23 2012

This is very good idea!

  • Version 1.1 Fixes Usernames With Underscores
    1 Posts | Last Post January 24, 2012
    • We just released version 1.1 of the Visual Studio Achievements Extension which addresses the issue of users with an underscore in their Channel9 username.  
      
      If your Channel9 username doesn't have an underscore, there is no need to upgrade.
      
      If you installed version 1.0 of the extension and registered with a username that had an underscore, you will need to take the following steps.  
      
      1. Go to Tools --> Extension Manager...
      2. Click Updates and update the Visual Studio Achievements Extension
      3. Restart Visual Studio 
      4. Go to Tools --> Options --> VS Achievements and click the Change User button
      5. Log in and authorize the app
      
      Follow these steps in this exact order and you should be good to go!

    • What does exactly it mean? I have to have 1000 non-english language constructs in my code or 1000 words throughout the code, even in comments?
    • @Skybladev2, if I understand correctly, it means you must have 1000 translated items in resx files. But I think there is a bug with this achievement: I only have a few localized items (about 15) in my solution, and the achievement has been unlocked...
    • Indeed, I do not have such many translated items in resx files, but achievement is unlocked.
  • Getting 'unknown software exception'
    1 Posts | Last Post January 24, 2012
    • I am getting an 'unknown software exception' if I click on Tools -> Achievements.
      
      Is there maybe a problem with a proxy? Any ideas what fails?
      
  • Field Master achievement wrongly unlocked
    1 Posts | Last Post January 24, 2012
    • The Field Master achievement has been unlocked, but I don't have a class with 100 fields...
  • Can't unlock the "UML God"
    2 Posts | Last Post January 23, 2012
    • It's marked as "Started" and the progress is "12 of 10 complete".
    • Looking in Fiddler, the request is follow and response is "200 OK":
      currentNumber=23
      ticket=osdmbQru7Q8BS0AaaCRgknBB9Ai6yd70GA7n6G5lmLiXNKrYkCIjZ/ZepZepeqQUJ6JDuMw/mHJKWRm82P/HBlYlfPkNK7+TU5q2b9riE0XL0mdgyuJolkOhBmbNENuo
      hash=b98e/E/hk8sNAMTxwrmUxrGOJ6c8CEVQtYR/1sPP3PM=
      
      maybe, the currentNumer is too big?
  • Server returns 500 error
    1 Posts | Last Post January 23, 2012
    • I've noticed since I 1st installed the extension, I got 3 achievements and then since then none of the achievements have been logged (even though I've earned about 5 of them)
      
      Looking in Fiddler, I can see the server is returning a 500 error, as follows:
      
      <h1>System Error</h1>
      
      <div class="alert">
      	<h2>Wow, that shouldn't have happened</h2>
      	<p>We're sorry. Something has gone terribly wrong.</p>
      	<p>If you would like to let us know about this, please <a href="/ContactUs">Contact Us</a> and let us know what happened.</p>
        <p>Reference: </p>
      </div>
      
      Would be nice to have it working again...

  • Add VS2008 support

    • Can you add support for VS 2008?
  • Crashed and Corrupted Visual Studio
    1 Posts | Last Post January 20, 2012
    • Installed this on VS2010 Premium and haven't been able to launch Visual Studio since... stay away! Deleting the extension (manually), removing all registry entries, and even repairing Visual Studio has still not fixed the issue. What a mistake.
  • Can't unlock any that require FxCop :(
    2 Posts | Last Post January 20, 2012
    • I have premium, all the non-FxCop ones unlock and update fine.  I can see fxcopcmd.exe run when I build (only when I build), yet none of the ones requiring it get triggered.  I am using a very large solution, so I know some of been met, which I can find easily and verify.  Any ideas?
    • A few people are reporting this. We are currently investigating.
