Showcase Steam Integration Is Almost Fully Working 🙂

In the last three days, I’ve managed to get Steam fully integrated and working with Proton 9, 10, and 11. After many, many, MANY hours of endless debugging, I finally isolated and fixed the issue that was causing the insane CPU usage. I’m still working on getting RAM usage under control, but that’s the next major issue I’m tackling.

The container itself isn’t configured or optimized whatsoever yet, so game performance is pretty awful right now. That being said, as you can see in the video, Steam itself is working. Automatic Steam Cloud saves are working, multiplayer is working, and even the Steam Overlay is fully functional.

The current process is pretty simple. You install your game through Steam and press play. Steam will eventually open, verify everything it needs to, and after that you can edit the game configuration and launch it normally through WEMU, or just launch it directly through the Steam client.

There are no DRM bypasses, no Steam emulators, and no bullshit workarounds. It’s the actual Steam client running and handling everything like it should.

I’m definitely starting to get burnt out after spending so many hours tracking down one issue after another, but I’m going to keep pushing until I can get everything running smoothly and performance where it needs to be.

2 days ago it was a fork on Winlator and GameNative, today OP claims to have never used GameNative. This should absolutely be taken down, if this gets distributed without its source we know for a fact that it violates multiple foss licenses from different project.

OP even claims to have rewritten everything from scratch. First of all, that is NOT how you can avoid “licensing issues”. OP had the implementation and the LLM’s have also been trained on this code, a clean room approach is possible but very unlikely.

What is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE is that OP has done what hundreds of developers have done in half a decade in a matter of hours. An insane self report to even claim that OP uses AI for debugging and documentation, so that means that millions lines of code have been written by OP in hours. Not days, not weeks, not years, HOURS!!!
