addnonsteamgame not working | not showing up in steam #1044

Closed FeyrisTan closed 4 months ago

System Information

addnonsteamgame does not work. I create it however it does not show up and the libraryfolders.vdf stays the same.

Just tested, works for me (both from the commandline and the UI). You'll need to provide some more information, such as a log file after you attempt to add a game. I tested a native Linux executable and a Windows EXE file, both worked in my tests.

You should also provide information such as the exact command you ran, or the exact parameters given. This should also come through in the log, but both is useful. What exactly isn't working? Is the command showing up as not found? Does it exit with any suspicious logging information or Bash errors (latter is unlikely)? This is not a prescriptive list, it is just an idea of information that you should provide.

You should also note what investigation work you did before opening the issue, what troubleshooting steps did you take?

and the libraryfolders.vdf stays the same

Why would libraryfolders.vdf be changed?

I tested a couple more times with some other options (setting a compatibility tool, setting game artwork) and I cannot replicate a case where the command or UI fail.

You'll need to provide a log file as requested earlier (and as instructed in the issue template) and give some more background on the exact command you tried to use and how it failed, as requested in my earlier comment.

Closing as I couldn't reproduce the problem and the requested log in the issue template was not provided, and not enough information was provided to help further.

Please re-open if you can provide this information.

Possibly related: #1045.

If you have multiple Steam accounts on the same PC, that could be the issue. But this is incredibly rare, and it was not mentioned in your OP, so I have no way to know.
