Questions before using “Unlock All” with DARK SOULS III

Hi,

I am considering using Steam Achievement Manager to unlock all achievements for DARK SOULS III (App ID: 374320), but I have not tried it or changed any achievements yet.

I would like to ask:

1. Has anyone successfully used SAM to unlock all DARK SOULS III achievements?
2. What is the recommended procedure? Is it enough to select the game, click “Unlock All,” and then click “Store”?
3. Should DARK SOULS III be closed while doing this?
4. Are there any game-specific limitations or precautions I should know about?
5. Most importantly, could doing this result in a VAC ban, a game ban, restrictions on the game’s online features, or any other penalty against my Steam account? Have there been any known or documented cases involving DARK SOULS III?

I am particularly concerned about the safety of my game and Steam account. I understand that nobody may be able to guarantee that using a third-party tool is completely risk-free, so I would appreciate information based on known cases or previous experience.

I understand that this is a usage and safety question rather than a bug report. If this question belongs in Discussions instead, please let me know.

Thanks!
