Steam Manifest Patcher

This repo has been archived as Steam has re-enabled downpatching.

build GitHub all releases

Supported platform: Windows.

This is a short application which patches Steam so that you use depot_download again after it was disabled by Valve.

Patching is done by finding the failure string in memory Depot download failed : Manifest not available. and then finding the push instruction using its offset. This differs from other patching methods in that it doesn't need to be updated after a Steam client update.
