Steam support broken in recent Steam versions

[Zottelchen]

When trying to open a game (e.g. Elder Scrolls Online), the console prints:

** ERROR: Error from AllMyGames.AllMyGames.on_execute: <class 'KeyError'>: ('Steam',)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Zottelchen\scoop\apps\keypirinha\current\portable\Profile\InstalledPackages\AllMyGames.keypirinha-package\allmygames.py", line 109, in on_execute

Maybe something changed with the .vdf file?

i have been struggling with a similar issue. steam games simply dont show up, error is "WARNING: AllMyGames.AllMyGames: failed to initialize repo Steam Invalid magic, got b'(DV\x07'"

I can't reproduce either,

@httpsWina "Invalid magic, got b'(DV\x07'" sounds like a corrupted file somewhere, is that the entire error message?

@Zottelchen I suspect you should have gotten another error message or warning earlier, could you have a look?

yes, this is what the logs look like after refreshing the catalog:

the gog errors are just games i uninstalled but didnt delete the folder, and uplay idk, but i dont use it so idc.

This looks similar to mine. I am on Steam beta branch, maybe that has something to do with it.

Good call, switching to the stable steam branch fixed the issue. it would be cool to see what exactly about the beta branch is causing this issue tho.

If I'm not mistaken, "b'(DV\x07'" looks like the header of binary vdf files so maybe that format changed. If so, the vdf library will require an update, unfortunately it hasn't seen an update since 2021

Maybe this commit helps: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamAppInfo/commit/b1715faba87fbbc8cb56e8fe30c92ae6ed499aab ?

Should be fixed in 1.7.0, thanks for the report and the investigation @Zottelchen
