Hi all,
Thanks to all your contributions, we're about to move to a new server on a faster host! So in order to celebrate, we have decided to simplify our Patreon (which if I'm honest, was a bit of a...

Hi guys! One of the biggest problems plaguing RetroAchievements is the occurrence of cheaters. RA is not a closed platform. It's not unthinkable for a hacker to edit and build the entire toolset and a...

It looks huge, but it's not really! The 50% purchase for 12 months of the t2.medium server is in there, and as a result the actual running costs are LOWER than previous months, so don...

Hey all,
I've made a few changes to ticket management to assist developers manage achievements that are flagged as either not working or working incorrectly.
Looks like we've finally found the culprit, fetching ./RA_Integration.dll over and over was causing issues (old clients). Looking forward to slightly cheaper bandwidth over the next few months.
