If you are able to get into the settings of the patcher, make sure the Library CSS setting is set to 6.css

If you are unable to get into the settings, press windows key + R and then type in %localappdata%/PhantomGamers and look for the most recently updated folder if there are multiple, go into it and open the user.config file in a text editor like notepad and change:

<setting name="libraryRootCss" serializeAs="String">
    <value>6.css</value>
</setting>

so that the <value> line looks like that

Next time I have some free time I'll work on an update to the program to prevent this from happening in the future

Thanks for this, @PhantomGamers ! The patching went through. I restarted Steam with the skin I wanted to add already selected on settings and the skin was successfully applied on my Steam client. But now, the patcher's stuck on Cache Watcher Started.

Seems fine to me, according to that log the patcher did its job. What is the issue?

ghost commented 2 years ago

So I don't need to do anything after the "Cache Watcher Started"? I'm sorry, I have 0 knowledge when it comes to these things 😅

PhantomGamers commented 2 years ago

Not if it's working, the cache watcher is just something that will run in the background (if you keep the program active/in your system tray) to try to detect updates to Steam so that it can automatically repatch the files as needed.

I'm going to close this but if you run into any other problems or have any other questions feel free to open another issue :)
