• API improvements, no longer depends on steam_api.dll.
• Filters in game picker.
• Reset achievement and/or stat support.
• Other stuff I can’t remember now.

There may be an intermittent issue with the Steam UI freezing while / after running SAM (Picker or Game), if that happens, restarting Steam should fix it. Feel free to report issues in comments.

Also to address some concerns about people asking about Left 4 Dead achievements. They’re not “persisting” in-game when you unlock them in Steam Achievement Manager because there are statistic values tied to them, and the game verifies these when it lists its achievements. It has nothing to do with SteamCloud (that’s not its purpose!).

New games listed as of 5.0 (I added these before 5.0 but had not posted an update):

• Killing Floor
• Plants vs. Zombies
• Zeno Clash

Assertion failed!Program: ...ps\common\titan quest immortal throne\Tqit.exe
File: .\common\gsPlatformSocket.c
Line: 236Expression: theSocket != INVALID_SOCKET

I researched this to find that it seems to be a common issue on Vista SP1, someone had suspected that Titan Quest was creating a raw socket for some reason. That is in fact what it’s doing. Since I am not running the game in administrator mode, the socket creation fails.

Since I don’t really like the idea of running Steam and TQ:IT in administrator mode, I looked for a better fix.

It makes a call to socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ICMP) in Engine.dll. I modified Engine.dll to make it call socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_TCP) instead. I suspect this breaks the ping display in the game list now, but it appears to run just fine now without any exceptions.

It’s a two byte fix for Engine.dll, assuming the latest version of Engine.dll for TQ:IT on Steam now (md5 of cf00e85ff32629e4ad7859765722517b), you will want to change offset 0x164A0F to 0x11 (from 0x01), and offset 0x164A11 to 0x02 (from 0x03).
