RequestCurrentStats needs to be call on Steamworks.net to use achievements?

Hi all,

The Steamworks API documentation says that before you would call any of the achievement-related methods you first need to call the RequestCurrentStats method.

What is weird is that I did not find any steamworks achievement tutorials on youtube that would mention it. Also, I am able to use the SetAchievement and GetAchievement and even the GetStat and SetStat are working without the RequestCurrentStats call.
I am using Steamworks.net, by the way.

So I am just wondering why the documentation says to call it. Are there some special cases where the achievements would not work without the RequestCurrentStats call?

 

I am also wondering the same thing. Should I be calling it every time i want set/get an achievement/stat? Also using Steamworks.NET
