Sync playtime with Rockstar Game Launcher

[alex-quiniou]

Hi,

I love playnite to track my playtime. Problem : Rockstar plugin does not sync with my account. I know it's not playnite dev's fault. Rockstar is a walled garden.

Rockstar App report playtime for each game installed (see screenshot) I guess this info has to be stored somewhere on the computer.

So, I have checked some basic folders to find this playtime.

Here my findings :

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\Launcher\manifest_gta4_dev_425.xml

C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\Profiles\RANDOMNUMBER\cloudsavedata.dat

Maybe the playtime is inside those files. But those files are encrypted. And I don't know how to decrypt them.

Update :

I have used OpenIV, a tool to mod and open GTA files. Without success. The save files are still encrypted.

I'm sorry to say that I have no plans working any more on Rockstar integration. I simply don't have time with all other integrations I have to maintain plus development on Playnite itself. Somebody will have to fork the plugin and implement it on their own.

Ok

I will leave my last finding here :

When GTA4 is played, those files are changed. So playtime has to be inside one of them

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\Launcher

1. manifest_gta5_dev_469.xml (encrypted or binary)
2. dxdiag.txt (redable, playtime not inside)
3. settings_user.dat (encrypted or binary)
4. svc_events.json (redable, there is an interesting string : "time":133430425638090000)
5. service_log.txt (redable, playtime not inside)

C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\Profiles\RANDOMNUMBER

1. 501C4FD0.dat (encrypted or binary)
2. SGTA412 (encrypted or binary, can be opened with XB36Hazard's Launcher. This is the save file for GTA4, the base game without TBoGT. It's not the total playtime. My total playtime is 152h and this file report 33h.)
3. cloudsavedata.dat (encrypted or binary)

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\Settings

1. SETTINGS.CFG (encrypted or binary)
