## Donwload Steam HTTP(S) requests:
|
||||
|
||||
You can make the emu attempt to download external http(s) requests madia via `Steam_HTTP::SendHTTPRequest()`, by creating a file called `download_steamhttp_requests.txt` inside the `steam_settings` folder.
|
||||
All the responses will be downloaded and saved locally inside: `steam_settings\http\`.
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure to:
|
||||
* Add the file `disable_lan_only.txt`
|
||||
* Remove the file `disable_networking.txt` if it's present
|
||||
|
||||
Note that this will **not** work if the app is using native/OS web APIs, also support for this feature is very basic and will fail in many cases.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use this feature, for eaxmple, to know which requests are made by the app.
|
||||
It's up to you afterwards to specify the correct responses for these requests by changing the content of the files inside `steam_settings\http\`.

## Enable non-LAN behavior in `steam_matchmaking_servers`:

By default, match making servers (which handles browsing for matches) will always return LAN servers list whenever the game inquires about the available servers with a specific type (Internet, Friends, LAN, etc...).

By default the emu will immediately start the renderer detector for the overlay, but you can give it some initial delay,
|
||||
which allows some games to initialize properly, otherwise the detector may not detect the current renderer (DirectX, OpenGL, etc...) and the overlay will not work (example games: `Have a Nice Death`, and `Saints Row (2022)`).
|
||||
|
||||
After that initial delay, the emu will give the detector `15 seconds` as a timeout, after that time if the detector didn't return a valid result, it will fail.
|

This avoids an infinite detection loop and a potential FPS drop on failure.

You can control these timings via the configuration files:
