Skin loads at start up quite long about lauhdutin HOT 16 CLOSED

Beta 6 is available now.

Hello,

I see that the error is:

            Failed to process 'sharedconfig.vdf'
            Failed to process 'localconfig.vdf'

Do you select the folder of you profile in the settings of the skin? Because I get the same error when I don't select it:

Hi,

yes i have selected my account:

what starting time do you get, when you reboot your pc?

maybe its normal..?

from lauhdutin.

Well, I guess that would depend on your computer, but I see a huge difference between your execution time and mine:

I think the problem is that error you get. I don't get that error:

Could you create other folder in your rainmeter skins path, and try to install from 0 in that folder the skin to see if the problem still arise? I mean, without erasing or modifying your actual skin folder.

Have you checked that \Steam\userdata\YOURUSERDATAID\7\remote\sharedconfig.vdf and \Steam\userdata\YOURUSERDATAID\config\localconfig.vdf do exist? If they do exist, then could you try using this modified version of \@Resources\Backend\Steam.py? You can either replace the contents of your current version of that file or you can rename the current version and create a new copy with the linked contents. I added some print statements to give a bit more information about the spots where the two .vdf files are failing to be processed.

I noticed that the log says that Overwatch was found twice:

Processing Battle.net games...
        Found game 'Hearthstone'
        Found game 'Heroes of the Storm'
        Found game 'Overwatch'
        Found game 'World of Warcraft'
        Found game 'Overwatch'

I'm not sure what is going on there.

Regarding execution times; I have 79 games installed via Battle.net, GOG Galaxy, and Steam (248 games in total, most of which are not installed). It takes ~0.1-0.2 seconds when I don't parse my Steam community profile. If I do parse my Steam community profile, then the execution time goes up to 2-4 seconds, which is probably due to downloading the web page.

@BanCrash
Youre Right. It now takes only 5-10 seconds on startup. This fixed my problem now.

@Kapiainen
Yes, both files do exist.

Press Enter to continue

By the way, it only takes 1min+, when i reboot/start my computer. When I just refresh the skin, it takes 5-15 seconds.

Okay, thanks for the info. So for some reason you don't have an entry in sharedconfig.vdf with UserLocalConfigStore as its key, but instead you do have one with UserRoamingConfigStore as its key and otherwise the file looks to be structurally the same. Could you check if the first line in \Steam\userdata\YOURUSERDATAIDHERE\config\localconfig.vdf is UserLocalConfigStore, UserRoamingConfigStore, or something else? I imagine it will be the same in both files.

Maybe Steam has shifted towards using UserRoamingConfigStore for all new installs of Steam and is maintaining backwards compatibility rather than updating the files of old installations? I installed Steam on my computer back in late January/early February 2017, but I've still got UserLocalConfigStore.

If your D partition is on an HDD, then there might be a delay if the device is powered down by the OS until it is accessed. However, I don't think that the delay of powering on the HDD would account for the 1+ minutes of execution time.

Regardless, I will have to update Steam.py.

from lauhdutin.

First lines in sharedconfig.vdf

"UserLocalConfigStore"
{
	"Broadcast"
	{
		"Permissions"		"1"
		"MaxKbps"		"2500"
		"OutputWidth"		"1280"
		"OutputHeight"		"720"
		"EncoderSetting"		"0"
		"IncludeDesktop"		"0"
		"RecordSystemAudio"		"0"
		"RecordMic"		"0"
		"ShowDebugInfo"		"0"
		"ShowReminder"		"1"
		"ShowChat"		"1"
	}
	"friends"

I think my last steam installation was in mid-2016..

if you need the whole file, let me know it :)

from lauhdutin.

Okay, not quite what I expected. I don't think I'll need anything more from that file.

I wonder what kind of logic is being used to determine which key to use? If your installation is older than mine, then my hypothesis of newer installations using different keys is wrong.

I'll try to have a new beta version, which should fix the issue with not correctly processing those .vdf files, uploaded at some point tomorrow. Jetzt ist es zu spät. Gute Nacht.

from lauhdutin.

Okay :) I'll try that in the next days and will report the effect.

Gute Nacht ;) Hab morgen Mathe Abi, yay ^^

from lauhdutin.

Viel Glück!

Just out of curiosity, you use / used some streaming feature / family mode / Steam link or something like that on Steam?

I have think of a theory that have Roaming instead of local to get that configuration on some other device.

from lauhdutin.

@LinusHe Could you provide the output from the custom Steam.py file, which I asked you to use earlier, for the processing of localconfig.vdf (i.e. press Enter when it fails to process sharedconfig.vdf in order to continue on to localconfig.vdf)? I just realized that your first log indicated that both .vdf files caused issues, but only sharedconfig.vdf uses a different key than what was expected. There must be something else in your copy of localconfig.vdf that is causing an issue.

from lauhdutin.

Excuse me for answering a bit late. I had stress because of Abitur ..;)

@BanCrash No I dont use that. I used Steam Family a few years ago, but I do not think it has any impact on my current client.

@Kapiainen Okay, here is the output with the alternative Steam.py:
https://pastebin.com/raw/LYBLFdfR
Info: Its now the Output of the "new" Skin Version (new, clean Skin Folder) wich loads faster.

from lauhdutin.

No worries. Looks like localconfig.vdf is no longer failing to be processed. I'll release a new beta, which should fix the issue with sharedconfig.vdf, in a moment.

from lauhdutin.

okay thanks 👍
