  • fixed print issues some places
  • added option to auth with new Ticket!

  • settings_parser.cpp:

    • cleanup the settings parser code by split it into functions
    • increase the buffer size for account_name to 100 chars
    • increase the buffer size for language to 64 chars
  • common_includes.h:

    • refactor includes order
    • added new helper function to keep yielding the thread for a given amount of time (currently unused)
  • build scripts:

    • in Linux build scripts don't use -d flag with rm
    • added global build stat message
  • don't cache deps build when pushing tag or opening pull requests

  • remove hardcoded repo path + remove Git LFS flag since it's no longer needed


20/Dec/2023

  • fixed the implementation of BIsAppInstalled(), it must lock the global mutex since it is thread-safe, otherwise it will cause starvation and the current thread wion't yield, which triggers some games

  • more accurate behavior for BIsAppInstalled(), reject app ID if it was in the DLC list and isUnlockAllDlc was false

  • basic implementation for RequestAppProofOfPurchaseKey() and RequestAllProofOfPurchaseKeys()

  • a simple implementation for GetEarliestPurchaseUnixTime()

  • more accurate implementation for BGetSessionClientResolution(), set both x & y to 0

  • return false in BIsDlcInstalled() when the given app ID is the base game

  • check for invalid app ID uint32_max in different places

  • more accurate implementation for BReleaseSteamPipe(), return true if the pipe was released successfully

  • lock the global mutex and the overlay mutex in different places just to be on the safe side, without it, some games suffer from thread starvation, might slow things down

  • added missing env var SteamOverlayGameId to steam_client and client_loader

  • added a startup timer + counter for reference, currently used to print timestamp in debug log

  • consistent debug log location, for games that change cwd multiple times while running

  • fixed error propagation in Windows build script, apparently set /a var+=another_var works only if another_var is a defined env var but NOT one of the "magic" builtins like errorlevel


17/Dec/2023

  • More accurate implementation for BIsAppInstalled(), it now rejects uint32_max

  • Allow behavior customizization via installed_app_ids.txt config file

  • Limit/Lock list of installed apps on an empty file (similar to dlc.txt)

  • Changed the behavior of GetCurrentBetaName() to comply with the docs, might break stuff

  • Allow customizing the behavior via ne config files: is_beta_branch.txt + force_branch_name.txt

  • New script to generate native executable for generate_emu_config on Linux using pyinstaller

  • Deprecate the old RtlGenRandom() in favor of the new BCryptGenRandom()

  • Setup Github Worflows to:

    • Build generate_emu_config for Linux when you push code to a branch whose name matches the pattern ci-build-gen-linux*
    • Build generate_emu_config for Windows when you push code to a branch whose name matches the pattern ci-build-gen-win*
    • Build the emu for Linux when you push code to a branch whose name matches the pattern ci-build-emu-linux*
    • Build the emu for Windows when you push code to a branch whose name matches the pattern ci-build-emu-win*
    • Build everything when you push code to a branch whose name is ci-build-all
    • Build everything and create a release when you push a tag whose name matches the pattern release*
  • Packaging scripts for both Windows & Linux, usable locally and via Github Workflows

    • For the emu:
      • First run build_win_deps.bat (Windows)
        or sudo ./build_linux_deps.sh (Linux)
      • Run build_win.bat release + build_win.bat debug (Windows)
        or ./build_linux.sh release + ./build_linux.sh debug (Linux)
      • Finally run package_win.bat release + package_win.bat debug (Windows)
        or sudo ./package_linux.sh release + sudo ./package_linux.sh debug (Linux)
    • The same goes for generate_emu_config (scripts folder) but the scripts do not take any arguments, so no release or debug
  • Added all third-party dependencies as local branches in this repo + refer to these branches as submodules, making the repo self contained

    • common_includes.h: include the new library "utfcpp"
    • settings.cpp: in Settings::sanitize(): convert to utf-32 first, do the sanitization, then convert back to std::string and return the result
  • avoid locking the global mutex every time when getting the global steamclient instance

    • dll.cpp: in get_steam_client(): only lock when the instance is null and double check for null, should speed up things a little bit
  • in different places, avoid locking gloal mutex if the relevant functionality was disabled

    • example in steam_user_stats.h: SetAchievement()
    • example in steam_overlay.cpp:
      • Steam_Overlay::AddMessageNotification()

    • steam_overlay.cpp: PlaySoundA()
  • fix the implementation of RtlGenRandom stub:

    • return a number
    • use extern "C" if building in C++ mode
  • add new build scripts for both Windows and Linux for a much easier dev/build experience,
    both Windows and Linux scripts will run parallel build jobs for a much faster build times,
    by default, the scripts will use 70% of the max available threads, but if the auto detection didn't work,
    you can pass for example -j 10 to the scripts to use 10 parallel jobs

    on Linux, archives (.a files) of third party libraries are bundled wholly, and built statically via:
    -Wl,--whole-archive -Wl,-Bstatic -lssq -lcurl ... -Wl,-Bdynamic -Wl,--no-whole-archive
    this ensures that the final output binary (for example: libsteam.so) won't require these libraries at runtime

    • to build on Linux (I'm using latest Ubuntu on WSL)

      • run as sudo ./build_linux_deps.sh, this will do the following:

        • download and install the required build tools via apt-install
        • unpack the third party libraries (protobuf, zlib, etc...) from the folder third-party to build-linux-deps
        • build the unpacked libraries from build-linux-deps

        you only need this step once, additionally you can pass these arguments to the script:

        • -verbose: force cmake to display extra info
        • -j <n>: force cmake to use <n> parallel build jobs
      • without sudo, run ./build_linux.sh and pass the argument release or debug to build the emu in the corresponding mode, this will build the emu inside the folder build-linux
        some additional arguments you can pass to the script:

        • -lib-32: prevent building 32-bit libsteam_api.so

        • -lib-64: prevent building 64-bit libsteam_api.so

        • -client-32: prevent building 32-bit steamclient.so

        • -client-64: prevent building 64-bit steamclient.so

        • -tool-clientldr: prevent copying the script steamclient_loader.sh

        • -tool-itf: prevent copying the script find_interfaces.sh

        • -tool-lobby-32: prevent building executable lobby_connect_x32

        • -tool-lobby-64: prevent building executable lobby_connect_x64

        • +lowperf: (UNTESTED) pass some arguments to the compiler to prevent emmiting instructions for: SSE4, popcnt, AVX

        • -j <n>: force build operations to use <n> parallel jobs

    • to build on Windows (just install Visual Studio 2019/2022)

      • without admin, run build_win_deps.bat, this will do the following:

        • unpack the third party libraries (protobuf, zlib, etc...) from the folder third-party to build-win-deps
        • build the unpacked libraries from build-win-deps

        you only need this step once, additionally you can pass these arguments to the script:

        • -verbose: force cmake to display extra info
        • -j <n>: force cmake to use <n> parallel build jobs
      • without admin, run build_win.bat and pass the argument release or debug to build the emu in the corresponding mode,
        this will build the emu inside the folder build-win some additional arguments you can pass to the script:

        • -lib-32: prevent building 32-bit steam_api.dll

        • -lib-64: prevent building 64-bit steam_api64.dll

        • -ex-lib-32: prevent building experimental steam_api.dll

        • -ex-lib-64: prevent building experimental steam_api64.dll

        • -ex-client-32: prevent building experimental steamclient.dll

        • -ex-client-64: prevent building experimental steamclient64.dll

        • -exclient-32: prevent building experimental client steamclient.dll

        • -exclient-64: prevent building experimental client steamclient64.dll

        • -exclient-ldr: prevent building experimental client loader steamclient_loader.exe

        • -tool-itf: prevent building executable find_interfaces.exe

        • -tool-lobby: prevent building executable lobby_connect.exe

        • +lowperf: (UNTESTED) for 32-bit build only, pass the argument /arch:IA32 to the compiler

        • -j <n>: force build operations to use <n> parallel jobs

  • added all required third-party libraries inside the folder third-party

  • greatly enhanced the functionality of the generate_emu_config script + add a build script

    • run recreate_venv.bat to
      • create a python virtual environemnt
      • install all required packages inside this env
    • run rebuild.bat to produce a bootstrapped .exe built using pyinstaller
    • inside the folder of the built executable
      • create a file called my_login.txt, then add your username in the first line, and your password in the second line
      • run the .exe file without any args to display all available options
  • revert the changes to SetProduct() and SetGameDescription()

  • in steam_overlay.cpp, in AddAchievementNotification(): prefer original paths of achievements icons first, then fallback to achievement_images/

Older changes

  • add missing implementation of (de)sanitize_string when NO_DISK_WRITE is defined which fixes compilation of lobby_connect

  • check for empty string in (de)sanitize_file_name() before accessing its items

  • implement new API: GetAuthTicketForWebApi()

    • base.h: declare the new API: getWebApiTicket()
    • base.cpp: implement the new API: Auth_Ticket_Manager::getWebApiTicket()
    • steam_user.h: call the new API inside GetAuthTicketForWebApi()
  • add an updated and safer impl for Local_Storage::load_image_resized() by RIPAciD from viewtopic.php?p=2884627#p2884627
