Cannot fetch proton games

[SekoiaTree]

Any games that are run only through proton (i.e. have a windows version only) cannot be fetched. They don't appear in the list at all. Interestingly, games that are forced to run through proton but have a linux version are just fine.

They do not appear in the commandline --list-apps either.

Tested on a master build on Pop!_OS 21.10 (ubuntu derivative).

After some testing, it doesn't seem to be verified as "installed". (SteamAppDAO::app_is_owned returns false). Potentially, we could use appmanifests to check for installed games in a more reliable way?

Oh! Very interestingly, launching SamRewritten with "--app 753640 -p" (the number being the app id), even if the app is a proton app it works 100% fine! Good enough workaround for me, but gonna leave this open since... it's still true

Hello,
As for all games which have issues being detected, you can simply input the AppId in the search bar to launch it.
If you are willing to make a pull request to parse app manifests in addition to the regular checking, feel free to do so!

Thanks!

[SekoiaTree]

Ah, good to know, thanks!

@PaulCombal I am on Fedora Workstation 36, using the native Steam package from RPM Fusion, and the latest SamRewritten built from source. It lists 100% of my Steam games (as far as I can tell), even the ones that are windows only, not installed yet, etc. Works absolutely perfectly for me!

But good to know that I can launch it with a direct appid if something is ever missing.

Thank you so freaking much for creating this application. I love you.

I can confirm that some proton only games don't show up (at least for me). In my case for example:

• Control
• Apotheorasis
• Judgment
• Lost Judgment
• Watchdogs
• Star Wars Fallen Order

But then things like Horizon, Hellblade, Plague Tale, Nier Automata et al. show up fine which makes me think this is a game integration issue with steam, not a problem of SR.

Again, as someone said earlier, running SR directly with the AppID works fine. Just my two cents.

“Dagon” (1481400) is in the lists as far as what is being given to the app in update_name_database but somewhere between that function and parse_app_names is where the bug is. A bit too busy to look at it.

Edit: Quick glance suggests update_name_database may be broken.
Edit: Forcing retrieval_strategy = 3 allows all of mine to be detected, “Dagon” included.
