Hey everyone.
Government of Türkiye is pushing a new regulation that would force Steam, Epic, PlayStation etc. to appoint local representatives. If they refuse? The whole platform gets banned.
They also want full access to user data and the power to arbitrarily ban “risky” content. This isn’t just a Turkish thing, governments everywhere are trying to pull this crap. They think blocking platforms will control us? All they are doing is driving people straight to VPNs and piracy. If you make it impossible to buy games legally, we’ll just sail the high seas for free.
Thanks for the boost, I guess.
not really? you need goldberg emu or another steam emulator, otherwise games will get confused that they can’t communicate with a steam client for achievements and whatnot
but yeah it’s just about dropping 2 files besides the game exe and done
You need to turn off the overlay. The games not confused it’s the fact your trying to use steam with out it being there and the dll that calls for it can’t find it.
Delete the dll or slap a txt files in the root folder with the appid and dll will see that and disengage.
Most people just delete the dll since you arnt using it anyways and it’s wasted memory
that’s what I meant by the game being confused. that the game depends on steam, but does not find it anywhere, so cannot work, unless a steam emulator is used as a standin.

if the game uses steam DRM, steam emulators cant do anything with that. you additionally need a separate tool that strips the steam DRM
see here: https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator/blob/master/README.md
but indeed, it seems not all games need it:

most indie games really have no DRM, but just a hard dependency on the steamapi.
