Steam Refusing to Import

[QuirkyKirkTech]

I have been trying to get my Steam library imported into Launchbox, and I’m having some difficulty. I have put in my ID#, API Key, and ensured my profile is public. However, it claims my account could not be accessed. I have restarted Steam, Launchbox, and the VM it is all hosted on.

‌

Something I noticed is that the link referenced inside the launchbox wizard looks like it has been deprecated. In launchbox it shows up as steamcommunity.com/id/<YOURIDHERE>, but the profile in steam is located at steamcommunity.com/profiles/<YOURIDHERE>. Not sure if the internal code has been updated to reflect this change or not, but it is something I noticed.

 

EDIT: Just for fun I tried to trick the wizard with a directory traversal by using “../profiles/<YOURIDHERE>”, to no avail. Might not be possible with the wizard, or I might just be barking up the wrong tree.

The steam importer is working just fine, there must be a issue in your configuration somewhere.

User ID.

API Key.

Name the Platform what you want.

Check preferred box's for metadata.

Choose art preferences.

And finally it will parse your account and offer you a list where you can then check/uncheck what games you want and import.

So...I figured it out.

Apparently Steam will not create an id/<ID HERE> page unless you create a custom URL.  The default number name just straight up does not work.  Weird.
