no they are automatically added to path you dont need to do anything keep in mind games with drm will not work without admin privilege, and anything that uses something other than whats stated in the dll downloader repository will also not work since i havent implemented it

@MarioMasta64 sorry for the bothering, but do you know what to do with the DLLs after downloading them?

I know this project is basically dead but gonna post this anyway. when trying to launch a game on steam, it just immediately closes after asking for admin. I've tried the dll downloader and it's not trying to install anything like directX frameworks. i think it has to do with not having the steam service installed. it works fine on my main pc where i already have the steam service installed but not on other pcs

[MarioMasta64]

it does, and if you know what dll files to look for you can add them manually, steam tries to install these as admin by default

i imagine it is looking for a newer version of directx as the one i include is 9.0c

give me the name of the game you are trying to run and i could see and possibly find you a workaround

the game I'm trying to run is Skullgirls, i got it to open by manually adding the dlls but it doesn't actually run and just crashes as soon as the window opens.

[MarioMasta64]

skullgirls uses directx 9.0c
http://keithditch.powweb.com/Games/html/d3dx_dlls.html
find dll's
if your os is 32bit get 32bit ones in dll32
if your os is 64bit get 64bit ones in dll64
either is valid

and as far as i can tell directx 9.0c is no longer supported under windows 10

installer not happening.

on another note try renaming dll32 to dll64 and vice versa and see if it works

hi, any way to disable steam from doing the "checking update" thing everytime u launch steam. Trying to get it to work on school pc and im guessing the firewall is blocking it so whenever i launch it it just says "steam has to be online for updates"

so the simple answer to this is "yesn't"

while it is possible login's dont carry between systems without the ini method and the ini method forces it to connect, and you have to be previously logged in to start in offline mode as far as i can tell

also keep in mind if the checking for updates fails you "should" be able to login in offline mode, if not then you should be able to simply cancel that dialogue i believe(?), unsure on that point.

theres also nothing under the command line parameters for this so editing your vdf would be the easiest way

one method you can try is logging in somewhere else (without the ini method) and seeing if it carries over. ill be testing this now.

[MarioMasta64]

okay so final verdict: switching machines requires ini, ini doesnt allow offlline mode, unfortunately nothing i can do because even without ini method you still have to login

blame steam drm measures (cant just clone an offline installation for 200 machines after all. so honestly fair)
