Dynamic Steam Installation Directory (%STEAM%) not detected.
Posted: 09 Apr 2022, 07:33
I did a search for bug reports and saw several regarding dynamically searching for the Steam Cloud directory wasn't being detected, but no posts were seen for this specifically.
My Steam installation directory is on a secondary drive (G:\ in my case), and when modifying some directories to be included in an official game entry, using the feature to dynamically search in the Steam Installation Directory, GameSave Manager returns an error when testing the directory search that the path cannot be detected.
Note that after selecting the dropdown for "Steam Installation Directory" under the dynamic directory search feature, it does correctly list the proper path (i.e,: G:\Games\Steam). I also tested leaving the path at just that, which gave the same error, no path detected.
EDIT: sorry, I browsed the bug reports again and actually found another for the same thing, but was back in September 2021 (viewtopic.php?t=472).
You responded saying it'd be fixed in a day, so I'm thinking this bug has resurfaced due to a steam update, like you mentioned in the post I linked.
