401 Unauthorized for titles that worked previously

[doctashay]

Hello!

I use Depot Downloader pretty frequently for preservation purposes. Just a week ago or so, I downloaded 20+ manifests of various games and they all worked fine - downloaded completely.

Today, I was attempting to archive some different builds, and ran into a new issue I haven't seen before. I get a 401 Unauthorized error whenever I attempt to download a manifest. It doesn't seem to matter what game or what manifest I select, the issue is the same each time.

I've tried 5 different manifests on two different games, DayZ and Arma 3, both worked fine a week ago. I have full ownership of both games on Steam and am logging in as that user when attempting to download. Is it possible there was a change to Valve's API for content delivery?

Valve has enforced manifest request codes for good this time. Please update your copy of depotdownloader

I'm using the latest master branch from this repository, is there another one I should be using?

Sorry, maybe you're trying to access a manifest that is actually unavailable, not much you can do about game/developer choices.

Can developers see what users are requesting what manifests and how many downloads they've received recently? I stumbled upon some internal branches for DayZ (64bittest, survivor gamez depot) which should have been inaccessible, but allowed me to download anyway, so I'm wondering if grabbing these unreleased versions prompted them to lock down their manifests? It's like this with all Bohemia games now.

Sounds out of scope here.

I believe I'm hitting something similar, but I'm not intentionally fishing for anything other than public release builds
