Changelog

v1.0.5

This update brings a significant speed boost to the steam settings generation process, thanks to a fantastic steam module fork from Sak32009!!

Highlights

  • Integrated sak32009's steam module fork to compile the ARMGDDN.Steam.Settings exe.
  • This change has GREATLY increased the speed at which a steam settings folder is created.

Acknowledgements

  • Special thanks to Sak32009 for their invaluable contribution!

v1.0.4

Today's update comes with a crucial fix! We tackled a nasty bug that was causing a crash in some games, with 100% Orange Juice being the main culprit. The steam_settings folder was left blank, but not anymore! Plus, a quick update on the health front and plans for the future. Let's get into it!

v1.0.3

Today's update is a big one! We've squashed a pesky bug with the context menu icons and made some significant changes to the location of key files. Let's dive in!

v1.0.2

  • A small but mighty update! We've ironed out some kinks from the previous version and made sure everything is running smoother than ever. Get ready for an even better ARMGDDN Autocracker experience! Sorry about the last update....

v1.0.1

  • Changed all exe files that were created from bats to exe to change the version number
  • Changed the script to ARMGDDN.Main, ARMGDDN.Cold.Client, and ARMGDDN.Autocracker to fix the issues with the appid never reaching fallback
  • Fixed moving steam_appid.txts with old app id's in them.
  • Changed the clears and pauses a bit to make the flow a bit smoother and easier to read.
  • Changed the install and removal of the context menu reg edits to warn about the talking so that people can adjust the volume if they want.
  • Steamclient files in Api removed since they aren't used.
  • Changed versioning to the more common 3 number version code for Major.Minor.Patch (X.X.X in stead of X.X.X.X).

RAW files updated and going to create a dev branch for these anything not specifically in the release version like changelog.md, RAW.7z, and (eventually) a database of games and non games and steam app dict to remove the load time and dependence on the api. A database from everyone using the app could eventually and slowly become its own useful list of steam games and a list of non games to make everything faster instead of reproducing the work on everyones pc it will be shared.

Special thanks to Cybah for the painstaking review and care he put into reviewing the app and finding funkiness. Wasn't able to reproduce the cold client issue mentioned here but if and when i track it down its days are numbered. Will be forking AAC to make a version that works with the GSE fork once i use it a bit and see the changes.

v1.0.0.0

  • Initial Release

📖 Usage

  1. Extract ARMGDDN Autocracker to its new "forever home".

  2. To use the context menu commands:

  • Install the context menu options by running ContextMenuRegEdits.exe from the parent directory as an administrator. There's a fast way to safely remove them as well.
  • Alternatively, you can use the drag and drop functionality to avoid modifying the registry.
  • Right-click on an EXE file and select the desired option from the ARMGDDN Autocracker context submenu.
  • Right-click on a steam_api64.dll or steam_api.dll and select the "Steam Interfaces" or "ARMGDDN Autocracker" option.
  • Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the cracking process.
  1. To use the drag and drop functionality:
  • Drag and drop an EXE or DLL file onto the ARMGDDN Main executable.
  • Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the cracking process.

  1. If the steam_appid.txt file is not automatically detected, ARMGDDN Autocracker will prompt you to enter the game name using the ARMGDDN.App.ID utility. As a fallback, you can enter it manually.

  2. Enjoy your cracked games and embark on thrilling adventures!

EXE Files:

  • ARMGDDN Autocracker: A menu for all the EXE features in case you want to use more than one option.
  • ARMGDDN Cold Client: Prepare your Steam game for use with the ColdClient_Loader.
  • ARMGDDN Steam Stub Remover: Effortlessly check for and remove Steam stubs from your game EXEs.
  • ARMGDDN VD Batmaker: Generate VD bat files optimized for Virtual Desktop owners (VR ONLY).
