What happened?

After multiple attempts at re-configuring Steam ROM Manager, I discovered that the placeholder values in UserConfiguration.json were not being replaced - resulting in all parsers breaking on references to "steamDirectory": "${steamdirglobal}".

The parser suddenly works when updating only this value to my actual steam directory. No other change was required.

UPDATE: At time of writing this issue, the bug was acknowledged by user @emotion over on discord.

Relevant log output

N/A - The failure to transform the log file doesn't appear anywhere and is likely an unhandled exception that isn't logged.

Thank you for the report :) this should be fixed now. You can get the fix by resetting Steam ROM Manager in the EmuDeck app (on the Manage Emulators) tab.
