Josh Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Games uploaded with the old Workshop system are sometimes returning the wrong update time with the Steam library. Consequently, some games are not getting updates pushed out unless you delete the game archive and then play it again. You can solve this by republishing your game as a new item. I recommend hiding the old copy of your game from public view. After that, updates to your game should work, since it will use the new UGC system for publishing files, and this is more reliable. The bug in the old system is unlikely to be fixed. We upgraded to the UGC system a couple months ago, and it's been much more reliable, so this is what I recommend doing.

thehankinator Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Is there a way that I can check to see if my games were uploaded with the old UGC system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 There's no way I can see in the Steam web API to display this information, but if your game was published before May 12 it used the old system: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/blog/1/entry-1467-steamugc-upgrade-complete/ Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

theonlysnowflake Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I'm having trouble uploading my game (like I can't even publish a new game). It keeps saying packaging game, and then it freezes on "publishing Game" and then times out and says "Failed to publish game." Any Tips?

Josh Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Yeah, check the program log at the bottom of the main window and see if it says any error or additional information. You might need to install the game launcher for it to work. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

xtom Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 My game was republished under the new system but I've run into the same problem again today, ie. the launcher still plays an older version of the game instead of the latest update. I published/uploaded the game update successfully and steam straight away downloaded the new workshop file for the game launcher. So in my local folder Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\355500\504084706 is now the latest data.zip (at 339mb 8 Sep 2015) But the game launcher still plays an old version of the data.zip which seems to be located in Users\Tom\AppData\Local\Leadwerks\Workshop\355500\Asset_504084706_76561197968420771_One More Day.zip (395mb 24 Aug 2015) The last time I tried removing file in the appdata folder and it then brought over and played the new version. I don't how it is supposed to work but my guess is it must be supposed to copy the file over locally from one folder to the other at some point and this isn't always happening.

Gonan Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Hi, just wonderered if Josh is still controlling updates and additions to the game launcher, as it hasn't got to full release, and if he is will he still control publishing after full release, and if that's why you're not seeing your changes just yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 No, updates should be immediate. The last time I looked at this, games published under the old system were returning the wrong date. If there is still a problem I will expose some more information so we can check the file dates and figure out what is going on.

xtom Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I dunno, the steam workshop page correctly says the game was updated Sep 8 but the launcher is still for me playing the previous Aug version. I didn't touch any files this time to see if it would self-right, but it hasn't. What if it also checked for dates on the local downloaded files in the steam folder or something?

Josh Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 There is a Steamworks API function that retrieves the last updated time.
