There has not and will not ever be a virus or trojan in SAM downloads provided through my site, if some random obscure virus scanner picks something up, it’s a false positive.

This fixes the crash issues introduced with a recent Steam update, in addition to:
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.

A newer build of my VPK tool. This fixes support for the newer VPK format that was introduced recently in Left4Dead.

New games listed as of 5.1:
Due to lots of people bugging me about it, I’ve added support for editing statistic values to Steam Achievement Manager.

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):
I picked up a copy of Titan Quest + Titan Quest: Immortal Throne on the current Steam weekend deal, only to find that I couldn’t attempt to refresh the games list for internet games without getting a nice exception dialog.
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).
