Introduction
Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire Edition has a broken achievement, "Guides".
This achievement can't be unlocked in the current version of the game and the only legit way to obtain it (which complies with the achievement hunting rules[achievementhunting.com]) is to go back to a version which had the achievement working fine.
This is a step-by-step guide to explain how to unlock the achievement.
Step 1: Download DepotDownloader
First step is to download DepotDownloader. DepotDownloader is the tool that will help us download the earlier version of the game.
Go to the DepotDownloader releases[github.com] page and download the latest version for your operating system.
You should have a zip archive. Extract it and enter it.
Step 2: Dowload the old version of the game
Open a terminal in the DepotDownloader folder (the easiest way is to write "cmd.exe" in the navigation bar of the file explorer)

DepotDownloader.exe -app 1022310 -depot 1022311 -manifest 5291126035981175992 -username your_username_here -password your_password_here
If you have 2FA activated it will ask you to accept the login on the mobile app or to write the OTP code.
Wait for the download to finish.
Step 3: Backup old files and load new
Go to the game in your library and backup the files.
To do so you can select this option or go into the game properties and search the option.
When it's done backing up the files you can go to "C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Warhammer Underworlds Online" (replace C: with another drive if you have the game on a drive different than C:) and delete the files.
Return to your DepotDownloader folder -> depots\1022311\11392425. Copy all the files (avoid .DepotDownloader folder) and copy to the game files folder.
Step 4: Unlock the achievement!
Now you're ready to start the game. It will automatically load the old version.
When the game starts you need to click on the "?" icon on the upper left corner.
On the window that pops up yoou need to click the second button. This will open your browser and give you the achievement.
Conclusion
At this point you should have your achievement. You can reimport your backup to play the latest version of the game.
I hope you liked the guide. I appreciate feedback.
Have fun while achievement hunting!
Kindly,
Mark.
