* SmartSteamEmu v1.1.0 *
* by syahmixp *
***************************************************************
This is a steam client emulator which enables you to play steam
games without STEAM client and play lobby enabled-games or
online multiplayer games on LAN without any internet connection.
This emulator initially intended only for Age of Empires II HD
to enable lobby features without depending on STEAM. Now the
emulator has been updated and can be used with other steam's
game.
Features:
- Run steam game without steam
- Enables play on LAN without internet connection
- Emulates lobby, server browser
- Stats, Achievements and Save games
- Configurable DLC subscription
- Avatar support
Requirements:
- Microsoft(R) Visual C++ 2010 Runtime (x86)
- Steam games
How to use:
- Extract all files to game directory or any directory.
- Open SmartSteamEmu.ini and edit as neccessary.
- Launch SmartSteamLauncher.exe and not the game executable.
- To use different configuration file, add configuration file path
to launcher parameter.
Note:
If your games use cracked version that replace steam_api.dll,
make sure you restore the original steam_api.dll file first.
Some games may require pre-cracked file to run the games, but be
sure steam_api.dll is the original.
Some games such as tomb raider that can host private match
require invite friends function to invite others to join their
private match. Since this emulator didn't have any invite friend
implemented, to JOIN the server press SHIFT+TAB simultaneously.
