Game names are missing after some update, Streamgrid update is needed! #143

So my whole list of games has no names anymore and looks like this:

Processing unknown game with id 324770 (2341/2343) Processing unknown game with id 883710 (2342/2343) Processing unknown game with id 266910 (2343/2343)

Also steam infamous regional restrictions may give no name of game its removed from store or locked in region from where you parsing steam servers. Most reliable way to get actual names for steam ids - read them locally.

There is a tool SteamEdit https://steamedit.tg-software.com/ that does this perfectly, and its nice if you could read already edited file names (cleared of all TM and C and other (C)(R)(A)(P) or new post remake trade to call old version CLASSIC or (YEAR) ) for more clear search query on google.

Tool is no open source but there is a email of if its author and maybe if you ask he can share part of code that does local parsing of names. This way it will work even with removed games.

Same here, not sure how to troubleshoot. installed via AUR today, and ran it. No game names, only Id. I did notice that if I use --onlymissingartwork, it doesn't find any artwork for any of my games (missing or not, and all games). If I run it without that option, it finds artwork. But still no names at all.

Here's the two commands I did (home directory and API are masked):
