Is the expected path in steam included as a steam library folder?

[Foro38]

Yes, it even is the default path

I have the same issue. Looking at the code, I think the vdf file structure changed. Here's what I have in the librariesfolder.vdf file.

"libraryfolders"
{
    "contentstatsid"        "8413575840315298086"
    "1"
    {
        "path"      "/home/foo/Games/Steam"
        "label"     ""
        "mounted"       "1"
        "contentid"     "4767286281369263029"
    }
}

The code expects "LibraryFolders" as the root element and certainly doesn't expect to have nested objects.

That's interesting, are these new installations? I'm in the beta and still have the "older" format.

Looks like Steam updates the file to new format when a new library folder is added, maybe also when existing folder is removed. Also it looks like Steam keeps removed folders in the list and sets mounted property to 0.

I guess it's related to the new library management UI Valve is currently working on.

Yes, it's a new installation, few days old only. That's interesting though, would you have a sample of how the file looked before?

I just moved several games from the library on my boot drive to a secondary drive (my new default steam library) and now I have the same issue. Only games I haven't moved show up in game hub as installed.

"LibraryFolders"
{
    "TimeNextStatsReport"  "xxxx"
    "ContentStatsID"       "xxxx"
    "1"                    "/path/to/steam/library1"
    "2"                    "/path/to/steam/library2"
}

When participating in the steam beta the old format is now converted to the new format.

fresh install here, gamehub is not showing my installed games nor the different proton versions.

Same here for some days now.

[Tripp024]

Same problem here. Hopefully I can use this nice program again soon :)

[Willdrick]

Seems it has issues detecting the games from previous libraries/installs. From what I could test, if you install a game on steam after gamehub has been launched at least once, it'll show up as "installed" on Gamehub

gamehub showing only valheim (steam) and spiritfarer (user game) as installed

[MadByteDE]

Same for me. Even when installing a game through GameHub and selecting a game library other then the one in $HOME/.steam/ . the game status in GameHub will show up as "Installation" and after that it still won't be shown as installed. I tried all possible options I could think of: Building GameHub from source, using the latest release version, using Steam Beta and Steam Non-Beta. Nothing worked.

Btw where can I find the cached files that store my GameHub account logins and config ? There are three directories named "com.github.tkashkin.gamehub" in .cache, .config and .local/share/ but deleting them all + removing the GameHub installation and then reinstalling the client results in the client detecting all my previously stored logins / connections for all game providers.. so where is the directory that stores that stuff and why isn't it stored in one of the other directories? This is really annoying.

same issue here

[tkashkin]

Should be fixed in 0.16.1
