Steam reverts changes made by Gameloop about gameloop.vdf HOT 11 CLOSED

Could you build and try again with the latest code?

Make the following changes:
Line 78: string path = Path.Combine(MainWindow.SDVMMSettings.GameFolder, "StardewModdingAPI.exe");
Line 79: VValue launchOptions = new VValue($" \"{path}\" %command%");
Line 82: File.WriteAllText(files[i], VdfConvert.Serialize(raw), Encoding.UTF8);

If you're unable to, you can try 0.4.1 which I'll be pushing in a while.

EDIT: Added encoding on Line 82.
EDIT 2: You may not need the encoding on Line 82. It appears to be a UTF-8 BOM issue somewhere. Possibly with WinMerge, but I'm not sure. WinMerge (which I use to diff the files locally) complains if I don't use the encoding, but comparing the files bytes-to-bytes suggests that leaving out the encoding is the correct one.

UPDATE: I've just pushed 0.4.1.

Have you tried this with the latest 0.4?

from gameloop.vdf.

yes

I had posted a previous message here suggesting that this might be caused by differing whitespace characters. However, that does not appear to be the case. Please disregard that.

I attempted to generate VDF using the localconfig.vdf file and replaced the original. Steam does indeed rewrite the file in order to update timestamps and such, but it did not revert anything in my case.

Could you email me a copy of the localconfig.vdf that Vdf.NET generates?

its based on the string steam itself adds to the file

The email you sent was probably to GitHub itself. You can email me at [email protected].

did send a email. Interestingly while trying it out it seemed to have worked one time but each time after that it will still revert the change
