Hmm, something went wrong in Play Games…

In the past I had a problem with Google Play Games after a new update, it refused to show me my achievements, I could unlock achievements while I played games but when I went in Google play games to see what achievements I had and what I still needed to get, I was presented with an error that said “Hmm, something went wrong in Play Games”. I also noticed that this error affected some games where you would tap the achievements icon in-game and it would sign you out of Play Games for that particular game.
