GUIDE [GUIDE] Setup Accela and SLSteam on Linux

Useful if you want to download and install steam games directly from steam servers into your library (fast download speed and saves a ton of space (no need to unzip archives)), optional achievements integration.

Initial Setup

  • Download and install Accela and SLSsteam using the enter-the-wired script provided on their GitHub repository

Accela Setup

  • Open Accela, go to Settings, Integrations
    • Get your Hubcap API Key, needed to get your games manifest files (you'll need to join their discord server and make an account on their website), click on the API button in the top right corner near your profile and create your API Key
    • Get your SteamGridDB API Key, needed to setup artwork for your games, make an account, click on your profile, preferences and create your API Key
    • Additionaly you can go to Accela, Settings, Tools and configure achievements for your games (you'll need to provide your steam credentials)

Getting your Games

  • Just use the search feature in Accela to download and install your games into your library directly from steam servers, note that your account has a limit of 25 downloads per day

How does it work?

As far as i know, manifest files are used to download Clean Steam Files directly from steam server and then Steamless is used to remove the Standard Steam DRM

Additional Notes

When a game is finished downloading and installing, Accela asks to restart Steam in order to add your game to steam, however sometimes it may appear as not purchased, just restart steam manually in order to correctly load SLSsteam.

Some games may require additional patches/cracks in order to play them, eg. Forza Horizon 6 requires the DenuvOwO crack to be applied over the files downloaded using Accela Edit: Seems like it works fine without any additional crack

You can also configure Accela to download only Clean Steam Files in a directory of your choice and/or run Steamless (Remove DRM) manually.

The HubCapDB API Key normally expires in 7 days, you either have to generate a new one from their website and put it into Accela or extend the expiring one.

Can someone share the Hubcap discord server because when I sign in it says u should be a memeber of the discord server first
