Not with the GameMaker Steamworks extension, no.
Unfortunately I cannot help any further unless you talk about your problem

jolly moon
#

Like I've told you, there isn't

#

So again

#

Unfortunately no one can help you, unless you talk about your problem

dark fable
#

That is my problem

#

There isn't more to know

jolly moon
#

So basically, your problem is your problem?

#

Okay, then there's nothing much else to say here

dark fable
#

I always face palm so hard every time I talk to you. it's wild Please stop replying/talking to me. (Frustrated for no reason)

jolly moon
#

Look, unless you say something specific, no one is going to be able to help you

#

Being completely honest

#

A lot of people already don't have their games on Steam, and the people who do, aren't regularly browsing the help channels

#

Besides me

dark fable
#

That is as specific as I can be.

#

There isn't anything deeper.

#

Unless steam remote play stops your game from running entirely, you can be way more specific

jolly moon
#

Okay, how about you describe what happens whenever there's a steam remote play going on?

dark fable
wise dawn
#

Okay and?

#

Exactly what goes wrong?

jolly moon
#

Okay, what happens "specifically" with steam remote play?

#

What happens if someone starts a steam remote play session

#

Does it
A: Explode your game
B: Your game inputs break
C: The person joining the remote play is stuck in limbo
D: "Nothing"
E: Something else

dark fable
#

Game Input Breaks due to steam remote play.

#

it did not before, but

#

The issue can be solved if I can check for it, now that I know I cannot I will just change the project to work otherwise

jolly moon
#

Well, alright then. If you continue to have problems, feel free to resume posting in here 👍

dark fable
wise dawn
#

But.. it wasn't?

jolly moon
#

It's not

wise dawn
#

The updates to it were just moved to an extension

jolly moon
#

^ literally, and for many good reasons too

dark fable
#

Is it still updated besides just having it match versions?

jolly moon
#

Yes

dark fable
#

because from what I can tell it wsa just moved to a github extension to have opera roll in.

#

pun sort of intended

jolly moon
#

As far as I can tell, Opera hasn't done anything with the extension itself sooooooo

#

It's just GameMaker team working on the extension

dark fable
#

interesting

jolly moon
#

The reason for it is so the extension updates aren't tied to the GameMaker runtime

#

meaning if there's a bug with the steam extension, it can just be updated or rolled back

#

Instead of the entire IDE/Runtime

dark fable
#

ah

#

Funny enough I only learned about LTS today

#

thought we all were using the updated about once a month build of gamemaker

#

(not the beta)

#

I have been using this version (red) since it launched

#

well, before it launched i guess

#

So with the context you gave

#

that makes sense

jolly moon
#

nods yeah, a lot of the core parts of GameMaker are slowly being separated into essentially modules

#

Steamworks and others being extensions is just one part of the plan

#

LTS/Monthly/Beta are the currently 3 channels for IDE/Runtime (technically LTS gets betas too, but they are quite rare)

dark fable
#

Beta branch broke my stuff too much for me to use, but we arent supposed to use that anyways. I might start using LTS a alot and tell others it exists (because a lot of people dont seem to know LTS exists)

#

Makes it easier to work with people if everyone is using the same thing

#

And I am not Xor so I dont need the monthly update

#

What game have you released to steam?

jolly moon
#

I had a collab work with a friend of mine, for a small game called F*ck This game.
I am also working on my own Steam title (currently not available but under closed beta in Steam)

#

(I am literal with the name for the game btw, that is what it's called)
