Steam offline bug

[m1cha3l02]

Describe the bug While trying to log in to steam with plugin in the GOG app tries to load but it always ends with a message "Offline. Try again."

To Reproduce

1. Launch GOG Galaxy
2. Try to log in with your steam account
3. The "Offline" message should pop up

Expected behavior An expcted behaviour should be the abillity to log in and synchronise my games within the GOG Galaxy launcher

[gOOvER]

Someone should for FriendsOfGalaxy and start again. Looks like, FriendsOfGalaxy is dead

[gOOvER]

I found https://playnite.link/

and switched to this.

[marvelvang]

To be honest I am also trying out playnite myself now.. after being a GOG Galaxy fan all these years since it came out.

[mauro-merconchini]

I found https://playnite.link/

and switched to this.

Nowhere near as nice of an interface or as simple to use as GOG Galaxy. The answer to wanting to have the Steam integration functionality restored in GOG Galaxy isn't "switch to a completely different launcher".

[salvador-lax]

i saw some people talking about this playnite app and after some time figuring out how to set some plugins and themes, have to say its a really good alternative to gog galaxy, it even has a gog theme that feels a lot like the real thing, for now and since it seems the community in this app is more active, i will be using this one

Ok I tried, it's just amazing how much customization is possible. No turning back now, just too good

I have been using it for roughly a year, now. It is indeed absolutely great! The only thing I really miss which GoG does pretty well: you can't synchronize across devices. If you play a game on your laptop/Steam Deck and on your PC, you have to manually update the play count on the devices, or depending on the platform, also the playtime. But that's only an issue if you even care about those statistics ;) I am currently using Playnite as my main launcher on the PC, and GoG Galaxy on the laptop for that reason.

[OpenRift412]

Guys, we're getting off track here, take the Playnite stuff somewhere else please.

Indeed, it's decent, i checked it and i just can't get over it, i even downloaded this GOG theme. I don't feel it, it's weird, not many options and features like GOG Galaxy has. This issue is dedicated to GOG Galaxy and let it stay that way, a replacement application has been given for those who are willing and let's finish the Playnite topic. I just add downloaded games on Steam with option "Add game manually" and I will continue to use our Galaxy application. Let's hope someone who knows how, will get this done.

Has anyone considered using their web API at https://steamcommunity.com/dev?snr= I agree that, at this point, whatever login functions exist, they were based on an older Steam client. Steam has revamped its login process to use QR codes as the preferred method.

[mrwensveen]

I've created a fork so I can try my hand at this. I'm not really into the Python ecosystem, so if anyone knows how to create a workable build (including manifest.json, etc.) I would be much obliged.

pip3 (or pip) install fog.buildtools invoke source is here

invoke release from the source dir of this

PS: I use Python maybe once a year, but found this with about 3 minutes of Googling. It's not rocket surgery.

[mrwensveen]

@steakknife interesting, I guess your google-fu is better than mine. However, I still can't get this to build. It looks like the humblebundle and amazon integrations have a tasks.py file defining a release task.

[Bertaz]

@thibmo maybe you already found it, but this is a live implementation of https://github.com/SteamRE/SteamKit/pull/1129.

Might also be useful to look at the rest of JustArchiNET/ArchiSteamFarm steam authentication code

[mauro-merconchini]

@steakknife interesting, I guess your google-fu is better than mine. However, I still can't get this to build. It looks like the humblebundle and amazon integrations have a tasks.py file defining a release task.

Hi, @thibmo's forked branch has updated instructions on the README for how to build and test. I was able to follow through each step successfully to build the Steam integration from scratch. Hope that helps.

[skull-squadron]

Interesting. I'll have to give it a shot when I get home. Some of these commercial OSS things don't release workable code to the world. They pull such stunts at work because they're not incentivized to make FOSS usable.

I have the same issue too. I see the latest version of this integration is kinda old - Nov 4, 2021.

[letallan]

Is there any solution for mac users? 32-bit version of python 3.7.9 doesn't exist for mac to build from source :(

[FaithTheSlayer]

I started having this issue for the first time today

I tried all this and it's all greek to me, can you please help me out? It sounds like you fixed yours?

I found this in logs. Maybe can be of help. I am not familiar with Python.

Can anyone please fix this or find a solution to have this work? I can throw you 5 or 10 bucks via pay pal sometime around the 1st

@FaithTheSlayer I concur, I would also throw in another 10€ as a bugfixing bounty!

Really needs a built download available. Most people aren't going to want to install Python just for this. Trying to build other people's source is a pain in the backside, and the average user isn't going to have a clue anyway.

More than likely, authentication failed because of a protobuf problem where the client didn't send what the server expected. The server hung up while the client tried to read from a closed connection. I wouldn't put much effort into this because it's clearly deprecated and abandoned. Any multiple game platform app should be a compiled native app because performance of GOG Galaxy written in Python is comparable to the speed of the DMV. It needs a rewrite rather than trying to keep it on ECMO in the code hospital when it needs hospice and to pull the plug.

I've been waiting 4 days for an answer to that lol

Same problem for me also.

Same problem for me also.

everyone have this problem and sind FoG is dead, there are not really updates anymore

[JohnnyNoArms]

I've given up on GOG Galaxy and switched to Playnite. It authenticated my steam account on the first try with no issues.

[gOOvER]

same for me; Galaxy was fine; Playnite is a lot better

[Danyelalejandro]

I would love a fix because I like how GOG Galaxy groups a game and shows the icons in which platform you have it. Playnite repeats them all. You can have the same game in Epic, Steam, gog, Humble, Playstation, 4 or 5 times repeated

But, to add to my last reply - even if this is a working, temporary fix, we still need a long term solution. The next time Steam change their API or access requirements, things might be (even more) dire without any active development on the integration.

The sync took a long while, but it did update the library and gametime. Though restarting the galaxy client makes it go to "offline" again and clicking "retry" does absolutely nothing.

Few problems.

1. I don't have this file in steam_network folder, even if i delete whole plugin and download it again.
2. My backend_steam_network.py file is directly in steam_ca27391f-2675-49b1-92c0-896d43afa4f8 folder.
3. If i edit this file with Notepad++ and save it. I do not even get ask for Steam Credentials, it just goes straight to Plugin has crashed.

I also try with https://github.com/thibmo/galaxy-integration-steam/tree/fix_steam_2023_01 looks promising, but 0 results, cause i probably don't understand something. Any help please? I really would love to make it work in any way ^_^

Yes, restarted GOG and tried to do everything when GOG was disabled, also in task manager.

Yeah this looks to be a temporary solution only. The plugin does log in with username+password+2FA successfully, but the plugin is not grabbing the token correctly to use for subsequent authentication calls, like when you restart galaxy. This temporary fix makes it continue even without getting the correct token.

I have been looking through the code for days but am not familiar with the way it uses web sockets to authenticate so have not been successful in figuring out how to get, store, and authenticate with this token.

[OpenRift412]

Yeah no, this solution is just crashing for me. I don't think step 2 lines up with what's showing up in the code. Also backend_steam_network.py is also in the folder above steam_network for me.

for everyone that's crashing; make sure your indentation is correct. Python annoyingly cares about whitespace. Each indent should be 4 spaces, no tabs. So if something is indented twice that's 8 spaces, three times is 12 spaces, etc.
