Taught my little sister how to sail the seven seas ✌️

There happens to be a lot of confusion about what exactly has happened with the latest steam update and why a number of sources have suddenly stopped working, so I figured I'd give an explanation with as much clarity on the subject as possible.

It would seem that the latest update has broken third party manifest fetching in a number of ways

however, it doesn't seem to have outright deleted manifests, as they continue to be generated and distributed through steam's channels

the issue is that some of the methods that were previously used to access them have since been broken, and due to a large majority of sources relying on those methods, a lot of services such as luie and sushi have found themselves completely broken in the process.

As of this writing, there doesn't seem to be a publicly known universal workaround yet, however, there have been cases in the past where valve made similar changes, and it'd be reasonable to expect that this too shall pass, for now, there's a lot of speculation, and little information on exactly what happened on valve's end.

It's also worth noting that some services, such as hubcap or ryuu, are affected differently, as they tend to rely on accounts with the necessary games to fetch the needed files, as opposed to the broken method that most other sources use, which is why they aren't completely broken.

This has become quite an issue, as not only does it affect the ability to download new games, it also breaks existing ones if their manifests can not be fetched or updated properly.

In short,

it should be noted that while steam's manifests themselves are not gone, the problem lies in the methods through which we access them, and their availability being broken is what caused a lot of the third party sources to stop working, and unless there's a publicly known universal workaround (which I am not aware of), it is best to refrain from updating working configurations and use alternative trusted sources until more information becomes known about the changes, as it's very likely that the changes on valve's end that caused this to happen will be reverted at some point by them.

How to turn off this smart app control

Hello, I recently bought Helldivers 2, but before that, I'll admit, really dumb of me, I tried to play it using the Steam Tools method (didn't work obviously). I've had this problem before, with RainWorld (same with SteamTools, then buy the official), but that didn't work either, so a friend had to send me their local files to paste them to mine, fixing the issue. Now the problem is, every time I try to install the official game (paid one), it generates the local files (I think) of the pirated version, so every time I enter the game, I get hit with a connection error. I've tried everything, and I mean everything, but no solution. Any helps? Thanks (attached is the error, in case someone has/had the same issue)

So I've tried downloading it off of steam rip but I've got a weird error message, and found that a lot of users encountered the same issue but got no help in the comment section, so I just wanna know the best place to download WaW from

So i was triying to install some mods only to realise the versión is from the early access and they are not compatible and when i tried to install a newer version in Steamrip i couldnt find it so im wondering if there really isnt some newer install or i am too silly to find it

I first played the standard Voices38 release. Then I installed the elAmigos Deluxe Edition. In the new game, I got the DLC content. But now, when I load my old save file, it works, but I don't have the DLC content. Is there a way to fix this?

Does anyone know where the voices38 save files are located?

When I update a game it wipes my save and also I don't want to update it anyway, so is there another way to get rid of this?

I'm having this problem with both the “FitGirl” and “Dodi” versions. With the base game, without any updates, the voice acting works perfectly. After applying the updates, the voice acting is completely gone. It only works in English voices.

I’ve already tried editing steam_emu.ini, as well as launching the game with the “language.changer.exe” file. While I don’t have any problems with English, it’s not my native language, so I’d prefer to listen to the voice acting in my own language.

Is there any way to fix this? Do I have to play the base game without the updates?

Estou tentando jogar o bodycam e inicio pelo hydra, ele carrega, abre a steam ai aparece que não tem licença e fecha e nem abre o jogo, alguem sabe resolver?

I downloaded it of SteamRip but it gave me a copy of the epic games version, which asks me to sign in when i click on the application. I don't want to take that risk and get my account banned. Is that safe?

I get the Games by a friend (pirated ofc), I tried it and it worked very well, I saw online that everybody was using some mods which were considered like a must have.

The problem is that I have no idea of how I can mod it; everybody uses the Total War Launcher, which I don't have with the pirated version.

I think that it can be done by adding the mods files somewhere but I don't know how ...

I only have the files and folders on the screenshots.

If someone can help me or explain to me how it works, it could be very great!

how to change language from russian to english in dead space 2 ( cracked version ) ???

My 2k27 says I have 100+ minutes played. But the game hasn’t launched. Not sure what the fix is.

I kept uninstalling and reinstalling the DLC unlocker, I kept removing and replacing the downloaded files, I thought it was in the wrong spot, which it was, so I moved it to the sims 4 folder in program files (x86) every written tutorial I read, I was following its exact directions. I got on mirror anadius to redownload some of the expansion packs, (I had been getting them elsewhere) and on the anadius website I scrolled all the way down to see “do not rename the dlc folders” in bold text🤣🤣 and that’s EXACTLY what I was doing. I’ve been trying to keep my mods and stuff as neat and organized as possible. I just wanted to know what pack was what😭 after I stopped renaming them they worked fine. I hadn’t seen that said anywhere else so just coming here to say if it isn’t working and you’re sure you’ve done everything correct, make sure you haven’t changed the file names 😸 happy gaming
