I havent had any issues with Cheevos popping, just when I load the game sometimes I get an error message and the cheevos show that the game is not loaded oe haa no achievements. I think It's something to do with my internet connection. With ethernet it never happens. With wifi its hit or miss.
This has to be the main game i wanted achievements for, despite never finishing it the 1st time i played it, still own it and have owned it for 16 years, so i'm really looking forward to every aspect of this playthrough as at the least the 2nd half of the game is gonna be quite fresh for me.
I gotta say, it was a real treat to inserct the disc and start up PCSX2 and see the achievement list pop up, so glad it's compatible with the physical media :)
enjoy your games my friend.
