[BUG] Steam parser lists only games that were installed at least once

Open rombat opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

  • Describe the bug

Steam parser lists only games that were installed once ("Find artwork for installed titles only" is toggled off). I use the latest Windows portable version

  • Steps to reproduce the behavior
  1. Create a Steam parser
  2. Choose your Steam user account
  3. Make sure that "Find artwork for installed titles only" is toggled off
  4. Test the parser and check the list of found games. All the games listed have been installed once on your PC (and may still be installed, or not). Games that have never been installed are missing.
  • Expected behavior

List all games, even the one that was never installed. It seems to me that in a previous version (can't remember which one) it was possible to list all Steam games, even the ones that were never installed.

I just tried the 2.5.17 and all games are listed, so there's probably a regression between 2.5.17 and 2.5.21

Im having the same issue but 2.5.17 does not work for me anymore. Any fix?

Yeah this is a confirmed limitation of the current technique for parsing steam games -- previously they had to be in at least one category. We still haven't found a flawless way to do it.

Any news on this issue ? I'm still on 2.5.17 in the meantime :)

Tested in 2.5.33 and this is still an issue, wouldn't exactly call it a bug but since it's an intended feature not working as intended...
