Game Publish Issues?

[Josh]

If you're having any trouble publishing your game to Steam Workshop, I'd like to use this thread to collect information.

 

It is difficult for me to produce any of these problems. When publishing a 334 mb package I received an error "RemoteStorageFileShareResult = 2" once, but when I did it again, it worked fine.

 

Are you having trouble? Can you describe what happens and include any errors the program log shows after failing to publish your game?

[xtom]

Tried uploading a test 160MB project and it went up fine. Tried game again at 194MB still failing to publish.

 

In leadwerks.log I see..

 

Error: RemoteStorageFileShareResult = 9

[Josh]

The error code corresponds to:

k_EResultFileNotFound = 9,                    // file was not found

 

No idea why.

[xtom]

Shaved 20MB off my game, uploading 175MB version. All my fingers crossed.

[xtom]

Ok my 175MB version has published properly and there are no errors are in the log file. Finally, I think there should be a publish first game achievement.

[Josh]

Yay! (There is one built in but I have not yet created an icon for it.)

 

I get this when I run your game:

Initializing Lua...
Lua sandboxing enabled.
Executing file "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Leadwerks Game Player/Scripts/Error.lua"
Executing file "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Leadwerks Game Player/Scripts/App.lua"
Lua Error: [string "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common..."]:18: attempt to index field 'window' (a nil value)
Process complete

[xtom]

Strange, I just downloaded it through the player and it's loading fine for me without any error?

[Josh]

It works now, although it defaults to 1024x768 or something, I think...this game is really fun!

[xtom]

I just have it set to 1920x1080 fullscreen for now, this is the code I have at the top of app.lua , glad you like it

 

--Initialize Steamworks (optional)
Steamworks:Initialize()

--Set the application title
self.title="One More Day"
local windowWidth=1920
local windowHeight=1080
local scaleScreenRatio = windowHeight/1080
--Create a window
local windowstyle = window.Titlebar
if System:GetProperty("fullscreen")=="1" then windowstyle=windowstyle+window.FullScreen end
windowstyle=windowstyle+window.FullScreen
self.window=Window:Create(self.title,0,0,System:GetProperty("screenwidth",windowWidth),System:GetProperty("screenheight",windowHeight),windowstyle)
self.window:HideMouse()

[Josh]

Your logic here actually makes the fullscreen toggle work backwards:

local windowstyle = window.Titlebar
if System:GetProperty("fullscreen")=="1" then windowstyle=windowstyle+window.FullScreen end
windowstyle=windowstyle+window.FullScreen

 

If you want to default to fullscreen, do this:

local windowstyle = window.Titlebar
if System:GetProperty("fullscreen","1")=="1" then windowstyle=windowstyle+window.FullScreen end

[Josh]

Its actually pretty darn scary when you look out a second story window and see a zombie coming down the street, and you think "****, did I remember to close the door downstairs".

[xtom]

Hopefully it's even scarier the first time you hear that closed door opening

I'll get the fullscreen code changed, thanks.

Tried to publish a few times but failed, this error in the log

 

Error: RemoteStorageGetPublishedFileDetailsResult = 15

[Josh]

Tried to publish a few times but failed, this error in the log

 

Error: RemoteStorageGetPublishedFileDetailsResult = 15

That error can occur if you are not opted into the Steam client beta (not just the Leadwerks beta). See the Steam > Settings menu.

[josk]

Still no look, same error.

File size about 320mb, In both betas, restarted pc.

Looking at the log it seems to give the error a few times.

 

From looking around it seems to refer to access denied.

[xtom]

Josk, I could not upload anything close to or above 200MB. No idea why but smaller uploads worked fine so the only thing I could do was reduce the filesize of my game. If you have any big files you could try stripping them out for the moment and see if it works, then maybe add them back in later.

[josk]

Thanks, I think I have sorted it, will let you know.

[Josh]

Can you try uploading without a preview image, and see if that makes any difference? (There was supposedly a bug in Steam that did exactly this, but it is supposed to be fixed in the beta client.)

[josk]

No luck, tried without image and description.

Also got rid of some assets.

 

Theres a steam appid .txt in the folder, that wont be causing issues will it?

 

The error shows 14 times in the log.

[Josh]

If you like I can log into your Steam account and try uploading the game. I've published large files with no problems.

[josk]

Thanks, can do, I can send a link to download the game I published to desktop.

If its the project I will have to send a link later as I will have to strip out all the folders of assets.

3GB project folder.

[josk]

Right its not the size, It failed to publish a 27mb game.

Some setting on my end no doubt.

[Josh]

I have a way to directly upload your data.zip file if you send me that.

 

The only thing I can think of is maybe you have Steam Cloud disabled for your account, but that would give you an error message:

[josk]

Both boxs ticked, will send the data.zip

[Josh]

Do you have the game player installed? Maybe it requires you to have that.
