Enhancement Request: Steam web authentication issues

[chocolatechipcats]

I have a private Steam account and I've been hit with frequent Steam authentication errors again. Re-authenticating from the Steam plugin works but it comes back after a day or two.

The Steam plugin is still reporting that the authentication is valid, so I am guessing that SuccessStory is either expiring quicker or not renewing an existing session.

If a log would be of help I can provide one.

Can you try with the last release?

[chocolatechipcats]

It's stopped giving me authentication errors, but now it is just silently failing to fetch new achievements at all. :( I re-authenticated but that didn't fix it.

Using 'Download data' gave me an error, attached the log. SuccessStory_2022-01-28.zip

I am having the same issue, can give a log if needed

[chocolatechipcats]

Would like to confirm that new achivevements are still not being fetched with 2.9.1. :(

Same for me

[Lacro59]

Can you post your extension.log?

[chocolatechipcats]

Here's a log of me trying to manually refresh data on three games and then using "download plugin data" on recently played games (which gave an error)

extensions.log SuccessStory_2022-02-17.zip

For me it outputs this error (SuccessStory#GenericAchievements:Steam user is not authenticated) in the log. When I reauthenticate with Steam it will work for a few days.

[chocolatechipcats]

As of the newest version, it is downloading the achievements again. :) I'll post again in a day or two about whether the authentication expires.

[IceBeach7]

Still not working on the latest update.

[chocolatechipcats]

Authentication expired. This time it just silently deleted all the achievements upon failure. Re-authenticating and updating restored them.

[IceBeach7]

Same behavior for me

[chocolatechipcats]

Further update: Silently deleting achievements only happens when the sync is manually triggered. The automatic one that comes after a game is shut down will give an error and not delete.

@Lacro59 sorry for ping but do you have any updates on this? it ruins the addon for me personally as most of my games are on steam

[Lacro59]

@OsoaGH I must rewrite the plugin api for Steam. Be wait.

[t0mtee]

I'm not having this issue anymore. Maybe a server-side change from Steam? What about others?

[chocolatechipcats]

Unfortunately, I'm still getting it.

However, I've noticed that if the Steam authentication popup has the "remember user" option, that will prevent it for quite a while. Unfortunately, I've only gotten that option to appear once or twice, and am not sure why.

[MeatSafeMurderer]

I get the authentication issue quite literally every day. I can reauthenticate but within a day it's right back to refusing to sync. It's making it basically useless for tracking Steam achievements.
