"WebStorage" section of config.vdf causes a System.IndexOutOfRangeException about gameloop.vdf HOT 6 CLOSED

With the update and replaced line, it seems to parse correctly, and I'm again able to retrieve values from the full config.vdf's software section. Thanks for the fix.

In case it's relevant, the DownloadsStoreRecentlyCompleted section appeared around the 1st of February according to A friend's project that dealt with the same config.vdf, though that project's issue was bad parsing of escape sequences. Not sure how long it would've taken for the section to grow beyond the official length specification, however.

The error appears to be thrown because the DownloadsStoreRecentlyCompleted value length exceeds the maximum token size constant. Valve's own code used this constant, but it's possible they've changed it since. I can make this adjustable in settings.

Is this a naturally occuring VDF file (i.e. created by an unmodified steam client)?

from gameloop.vdf.

It is indeed an unmodified Steam client. The DownloadsStoreRecentlyCompleted section seems to change when Steam finishes downloading updates. In a very limited test I did, the section might be Linux-only. I can provide my entire config.vdf if you require it.

Thanks for clarifying. I'll push 0.6.2 this weekend with an option to adjust the maximum token size.

I've pushed 0.6.2. Could you try your code again with this line replaced?

VProperty volvo = VdfConvert.Deserialize(text, new VdfSerializerSettings() { MaximumTokenSize = 8192, UsesEscapeSequences = true });

Appreciate the context! I'll go ahead and close this issue now - feel free to reopen if necessary.
