No longer able to download game list from profile?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Depressurizer is now giving me a "the specified profile is not public" error, 
even though my profile is set to public and I can view my profile's game list 
in my web browser while logged out.

I did absentmindedly change my privacy settings to "users only", but changed it 
back after the first time getting the error from Depressurizer tonight. 
Unfortunately that didn't clear it up for me.

Strange. Could you provide me with your community URL name or your account ID? 
I'm not having trouble with any of my test accounts, and can't see any relevant 
changes to the Steam Community site.

Community URL name is HunterZ0.

I'm wondering if something got stuck either on Steam's end or depressurizer's 
end such that depressurizer ends up thinking that my profile is not public when 
it should be.

Still strange, I can't get it to fail with your account. Okay.

Assuming you're using the latest version:

Try going to File > Manual > Download Game List... and using that. Use the 
custom URL, and HunterZ0. That works pretty much independently of ANY settings 
(other than the XML / HTML preference in the program options, which is 
irrelevant here). There's nothing to get "stuck". Hopefully this, at least, 
will work.

If that DID work, with no errors and an appropriate message in the status bar 
at the bottom of the window, go to Profile > Edit Profile Info and take a look 
at the Select User section. It should have the "Manually enter 64-bit Steam ID" 
radio button selected. The Steam ID for your account is 76561197996887338, that 
should match. You could also just have the program re-determine your 64-bit ID 
by either re-selecting your account from the list or by re-entering the URL 
name, which should fix the 64-bit ID if it's wrong for some reason.

If the manual download didn't work, or if checking the profile info didn't 
help, I'd ask you to set logging to Verbose (Tools > Settings, Logging tab) and 
try again. Remember to turn the logging back off afterwards, it saves a lot of 
extraneous stuff on verbose. Hopefully, there will be some clue that I can use 
in the log file, which should be in the same directory as the EXE.

I'll try that tonight.

Note that I haven't tested again since I reported the bug last night. It's 
possible that things may have cleared up on their own since then, so I will 
also try repeating things the way I was doing them before.

Update: It's working for me now, via the methods that weren't working last 
night.

My guess is that if you have your profile set to non-public (e.g. "logged in 
users only") for too long and then switch it back to public, it doesn't seem to 
take effect immediately for whatever method depressurizer uses to access the 
profile data.

I'll investigate that possibility.

Same problem, "specified profile is not public". I note it's only 
"uncategorized" that are not downloaded, "demos" and "unwanted" seem to 
populate just fine, I guess from the Steam client.

When I enter a custom name manually, I seem to get someone else's game list - 
these are not my games.

I'm not able to duplicate the problem.

You can check what Steam is showing for your profile using a web browser. For 
example, my game list is at: 

http://steamcommunity.com/id/rallion/games?tab=all

You can replace "rallion" with your own display name. Make sure you're logged 
out of the Steam Community page when you check it.

If your game list shows up even when you aren't logged in, please send me your 
display name so I can take a look.
