Small project to link UWP games and XboxGamePass to Steam
If you want to add Windows Store or Xbox Game Pass Games to Steam, you need to do a bit of a warkaround because Steam can't see UWP apps, and there's a chance Steam won't show it on your "Currently playing" status. This app aims to simplify a little bit the process where it is possible by automating the scripting and launching of Windows Store apps and Xbox Game Pass games.

- **Steam's Overlay isn't working!**
- Unfortunately, it's a Steam limitation, Valve has to update it in order to work properly with UWP, DXTory is a recommended overlay for UWP games.
- **Steam Link launches the game but input doesn't work!**
- Unfortunately, another limitation by Steam, i have some ideas as to why it isn't working, but i can't give an ETA for when i can fix this, or even if it's fixable on my end, since Valve didn't released the Link in Brazil and i can't get one to test.
- **Steam Controller isn't working**
- Another limitation by Steam, some people reported it works with "Desktop Mode" configuration, but i can't verify this.
- **Using Steam Link**
- Check the option "Streaming" mode inside the settings screen
- **Steam Deck?**
- This app is not compatible with the Steam Deck in any way.
If you are facing an error of any kind, please check the contents of the file
- **I have shortcuts from other application that broke when i used UWPHook**
- You can find a backup of your `shortcuts.vdf` file in `%appdata%\Roaming\Briano\UWPHook\backups`, each file in this directory is a backup of the original `shortcuts.vdf` before manipulation by UWPHook, the files are renamed `{userid}_{timestamp}_shortcut.vdf`, you can restore these files to their original location for usage.
- **My question isn't listed here!**
- Drop by our subreddit and ask a question over there, maybe someone will help you, i surely will as soon as i can

# Building #
# Building
- Clone project or forked project.
- Install Visual Studio 2019 with .NET Framework 4.6.2.
- Install [SharpSteam by BrianLima](https://github.com/BrianLima/SharpSteam/releases/) and [VDFParser by heyvito](https://github.com/heyvito/VDFParser).
- Add the above two dll to the project in Visual Studio Reference Manager.
- Install Visual Studio 2022 with .NET Framework 4.8.
- Install [SharpSteam by BrianLima](https://github.com/BrianLima/SharpSteam/releases/) and [VDFParser](https://github.com/brianlima/VDFParser) and build.
- If the project asks for the references for VDFParser and Sharpsteam, point it to the most recent build.
- Press run!
## Installer
The installer is built with [NSIS](https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Download), just run the script `UWPHook.nsi` and things **should** work. Modify any hardcoded paths to suit your setup.
The installation consists of zipping the application and creating some of the paths for the user, since the application is mostly static/dynamic and does not depend a lot on where it is installed, the installer is made for convenience.
