From my observation, the issue comes from escaped backslash followed by escaped quotation mark \\\".

Looking at the key-value pair,
"arguments" "\"Client.exe code:1622 locale:USA env:Regular ver:246 logip:35.162.171.43 logport:11000 chatip:54.214.176.167 chatport:8002 setting:\\\"file://data/features.xml\\\" sn:{tracking_uid} sid:{tracking_sessionid} /P:{passport} -Steam\" --nx:title=Mabinogi --nx:serviceId=880915460"

the error reports it broke at i in \\\"file.

If I am correct, it broke on f, not i and the error reports the wrong location (and character)!

This is what I see it reads:

"arguments": "\"Client.exe code:1622 locale:USA env:Regular ver:246 logip:35.162.171.43 logport:11000 chatip:54.214.176.167 chatport:8002 setting:\\\"

and then it breaks on f because it expects quotation marks to start the new key, not the i.

I implemented a temporary "fix" by replacing all \\\" marks with \" and it works. However, that's a hack.

b := app.GetBuffer()

kv, err := steamvdf.ReadBytes(b)
if err != nil {
    // temporary recover
    b = bytes.ReplaceAll(b, []byte(`\\\"`), []byte(`\"`))
    kv, err = steamvdf.ReadBytes(b)
    if err != nil {
        ph.steamClient.appBin.err = fmt.Errorf("[steamvdf.ReadyBytes] failed to read vdf: %w", err)
        return
    }
}

Hey, thanks for the report. I think globalsteam.online gets this same error on prod and i never got to the bottom of it. Don't really have time to look into it but happy to accept a PR.
