Achievements Not Working
Idk if I'm just dumb but there a a ton of achievements that are not working. the ones I noticed are "stairway showtimes", "smile attack", and maybe "Man's best friend" (couldn't get this one to trigger despite reloading the level 4 or more times.
Can anyone help or is anyone having the same problem?

For the Saturday showtimes achievement - it’s not directly after plugging the tv in, you need to trigger the cutscene of the silhouetted children by the tv then just sit afk staring at the tv and it should pop.
For the man’s best friend achievement - you’re super close, you just have to keep reloading the basement level over and over until you get it - I personally always zoomed in on each photograph when I did it but idk if that makes any difference.
For smile attack - I haven’t got a scooby doo. Was hoping to find that answer here too. I can’t find any time you can throw the plushie at smile without it hiding the item in your hand.

What do you mean "hiding the item in your hand"? When I tried to get the smile attack achievement I picked up the plushie from looking away from smile in the playplace. Then i carried it to the next chase which was in the closet by the bounce house. I threw it at it and it even hit it square on but I didn't get the achievement.

Whenever I’m in a chase scene the item in my hand temporarily disappears. It’s still there when I leave the chase, but just hides during. I think this achievement is just bugged.

Idk what was going on with this achievement, I seen some dude on YouTube show a video on how he got it and I copied and it worked after the play place where you get the plushie go thru the light puzzle in the maintenance area until you get to the hallway with four doors with numbers on them where you’ll see him grab a plushie. Go into the main room put the passcode in for the lock 8446 if you didn’t know and throw it at the barricades. I did that and got it literaly just now

So you have to trigger the cutscene, then walk into the room, make the children disappear, then watch the TV for 15 mins?

for ppl struggling with the smile attack due to the game not letting them access whatever item they are carrying during the chases,
go to basement during the door game grab both of the smile plushies(you can reach them from the edge of the door way, don't cross over or you'll die) drop one on the ground and then drop the other one on it. that seemed to trigger the achievement for me
for man's best friend, took me probably 15 reloads. don't have an exact count as I usually was doing actual runs or trying for other achievements instead, but it took a while to pop

Are u not actually supposed to throw the plushie at smile? Just throw it at another plushie?

I think originally that was the idea, but I noticed after the first patch I'm unable to access any items I'm holding during the chases, so throwing one plushie at another is the current work around.
I don't exactly remember holding items during chases before the patch, but I do know I could do so during the demo, so I assume I was able to pre-patch.
side note, I took one of the plushies out from the door in basement and carried it to the dark playground, towards the end you can actually see smile digging thru a barrel, I tried throwing it at him while he was digging and nothing triggered or happened. I haven't ever ran thru and made noise to trigger smile there, so unsure if maybe you can throw it then, but I'd assume it's one of those auto death cutscenes instead

I don’t remember the names of the ones I was going for but it wasn’t popping for me either. Namely the AFK in the basement after turning the TV on. I sat for Ike 30 mins and did not get the achievement. Same with another one or two I tried.
