I was just septical about the performance about game running throught a translate layer used under linux but what i've read recently made me more than happy .

keep old win7 as dual boot. some games might refuse to work on Linux but you will be able to run them offline on win7. at least for first few months while you're learning and checking what works and what doesn't. better have backup at first.

Hello

Good idea,thx @kitty but do not worry, i have so many games that if some does not work correctly of even does not work at all, i will considere them as dead.
Some allready stopped working because they have a server part and publisher stopped the server.
It's something steam should specify in the system req imo but i guess no one will ever buy any ubicrot game it was the case.

The Offline Mode FAQ says that most games will require their first launch be while you are online on Steam.

I wonder if we launch it via steamCMD, could it activate it instead of steam client? if it has ability to run game it probably can register it as well? even if running fails.

Hello

While reading your exchange, i am surfing on the steamcmd dev page and what's surprise me was that
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD
For security reasons, it is recommended that you create a new Steam account just for your dedicated servers.
i allways thought we coudn't have more than one account per people....

it says servers. probably not related to desktop experience because you run servers on remote PC or on your PC and that will be one account. then if you want to run game as client (ordinary user) you might need second account because you can only run 1 instance of game per account.

and you think everything runs as intended and you even share this stupid behaviour to your family and friends, doesnt automatically mean everything runs "as" intended.

(rest was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥)

Its just exactly this. But affects people who using out-of-date OS and try defending this braindead idea with same amount of braindead arguments. But there are just stupid braindead arguments for staying with outdated unsecure OS. Not a single logical true answer for stay with old insecure software.

bidulless,

have you tried to run steamCMD from Windows to see if it works to download and run games without opened client?
I confirmed it can download and update on Linux but here we have an issue where it outputs nondescript error when you try to run the game. people said steamCMD on Windows doesn't have this issue and you should be able to run your game from steamCMD command line or by creating bat file/shortcut.

it can be an additional way to manage games in 2024 if it can run games.

Rofl.... you can open your browser and browse the whole steam depot and load any game file with same result. Install only via steam so there is no bypass for the drm.

You don't need an account for most of the servers anyway. I, for example, run a server farm using the anonymous pseudo-account.

steamCMD installs games without steam app.

Care to explain how it does this without confirming account ownership?

not really. it's all in steamCMD manual. you input your user/pass/2FA code, you manage your games.

I'm aware, yes. Used it quite a bit for running servers.

I'm asking how you bypass that it requires Steam and with Online mode on to run Steamworks DRM games.

can you stop putting words into my mouth? I never said "online". we talked about offline use. games that can be played offline.

Games using Steam's DRM cannot be launched using SteamCMD - it'll just launch Steam. I tested this a while back for another 7 user who had those questions.

yes. but if you put steam in offline mode with disabled update flags in config, it probably can work after 2024?

Ok then.
