New Steam game not available to import

[jamzilla]

Does it take some time for a new steam game (released today) to be available to import into your Launchbox library?

when I try to import steam games the new one does show as available however I can see/play it in Steam

Deleting your other post on this. No need for two of the same. 

Unfortunately I cannot answer this as I do not import Steam games. Hopefully someone who does can chime in soon.

I have a couple of games from steam that do not import

I don't think this is an issue. Can you be more specific about what is actually happening? Are you going to import steam games, putting in your API and not seeing the games in the list that comes up? What are the game names?

I'm having the same issue. A few of my games are not being imported.  I go through the steam import, use my api, and it says there are no new games to import.  I just retried importing the missing games and one came through (Learn Japanese To Survive! Kanji Combat), but the other four are not being found.  I first noticed this problem back in early November when I bought "Holy Potatoes! A Spy Story!"

They all seemed to have been released in 2018.  The games are:

Kitrinos Inside the Cube

Youropa
   Release Date: Jun 27, 2018
Heavy Dreams
   Release Date: Sep 1, 2018
Holy Potatoes! A Spy Story!

I have a very limited understanding of how Launchbox actually finds steam games, I think it may look for shortcuts in a certain windows folder? At any rate, you can drag the exe of the game directly into launchbox to import the ones it misses. It's not a fix, just a workaround but as I said I don't know enough about how launchbox finds steam games to say more.

I'm coming in pretty late to this but I've run into this problem for two lesser known steam titles. I just created a shortcut to the app in the windows start menu and then imported it using the import Windows game tool to get around this.
