Description
I have encountered an issue where some titles will "crash" steams achievement system.
Just launching an affected title is enough for the achievement section in the steam UI to disappear for every game until the steam client is restarted.
Achievements will unlock correctly for the game that caused the crash, but games started after will not unlock any achievements.
The titles I have encountered this on are:
Train Station Renovation (914010)
Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition (388410)
Exiting the steam client in this state generates a minidump assert
steamcrash.log

Research direction
Start by reviewing the attached steamcrash.log and reproducing the issue by launching Train Station Renovation or Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition. Verify that the Steam achievement section disappears, that later games cannot unlock achievements, and that restarting Steam restores the feature; the minidump assertion on exit is also part of the failure.
