Steam Console in CMD

[Dunkelgrn]

Hey there,

Is there any way to run Steam console commands in the cmd from windows and the terminal in linux?

I've tried to ran the steam.exe and steam://open/console with the parameters, but without success.

if you just want to run steam from command line without any gui, try steamcmd

You can also create a shortcut and add in: -console (as target) then Steam will launch with the console activated.

Example: H:\Steam\steam.exe -console

Yes i know. But i just wanna execute specific Steam console commands in a batch/bash script

With steamcmd you can't run commands like app_start_validation which i need. And in the best case, there schould be no need to download anything

you can use

app_update 	<appid> [-validate] [-language <lang>] [-beta <betaname>] [-betapassword <pwd>] 	Make sure a Steam application is up-to-date 

with steamcmd

e.g. as batch:
start /W steamcmd.exe app_update <appid> -validate
steamcmd.exe app_run <appid>

Ah nice, thanks.
But this isn't possible with the steam client itself, is it?

as you can see from the command list that I've linked earlier there is no app validate command for steam

But it don't really know what you're trying to accomplish. A script that only updates / validates games without launching them?

there is now
app_mark_validation - <appId> <0|1:full>
and
app_start_validation - <appId>
