CompactGUI 3.0a5 crashes on validation of some Steam games folders

[biscotteman]

OS: Win10 21h2 build 19044.1741

I have 3 SteamLibrary folders on differents HDDs. The paths are as follow: C:\Steam\SteamApps\common D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common

On the second folder (D:), every time I'm trying to select a game folder, the program crashes right after. No issue on the games folders of others HDD.

Can you give me an example of which game it crashes on? Can you also send a copy of the game's appmanifest_XXXXX.acf file (located in the steamapps folder before common)

[Drigtime]

I do have a similar issue, I also have 3 steam game folders : C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common C:\Users\Drigtime\Games\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common D:\Games\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common

I have Forza Horizon 5 in C:\Users\Drigtime\Games\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common and when I select the game folder and click "analyze" Compact crashed instantly.

I don't have any .Net error log, only CompactGUI log :

@Drigtime I think your issue is different, and due to the fact that Forza Horizon 5 had no user submissions but had a blank entry in the database file. I've fixed this now (including for about 50 other games) Can you try deleting %localappdata%/IridiumIO and seeing if that fixes it for you?

That was it, thank you 👍 And I apologize for posting there instead of creating a new issue, I thought biscotteman and I had the same problem

[Iridium-IO]

@Drigtime No worries, I also thought they were the same issue until I tested your acf file :)

Sorry about the delay! It seems that my notifications weren't configured correctly... So I've downloaded the new version 3.0a6, still no luck, the same error is present I've tried on Dying Light (appId 239140), Tekken 7 (389730) and Insurgency Sandstorm (581320), all 3 were correctly working in the previous version 2.6.2 For the acf files, see appmanifest.zip I'm not quite sure it's directly linked to the games, since all the games on the D: drive are seemingly failing

[Iridium-IO]

My guess is that one of the appmanifest files in that D drive is broken and when CompactGUI goes through them all, it crashes as a result. Can you try moving all of the acf files out of the folder except one of the ones for the game you want to compress (e.g leave 389730 if you're going to try Tekken 7) and then try again? If it works then the next step is working out which file is the broken one.

[biscotteman]

You're right! Moving all acf files except one did the trick. I've managed to find the acf file that's corrupted (223470), no idea how that happened. I've deleted it and recreated it through Steam, everything is working fine now :) Thanks for your help!

[soxhi8]

I can confirm that this is due to broken acf files. Found multiple in my installation that were able to be fixed by triggering a reinstall of the game.

Attached my broken files, just in case they could be useful for testing.
