Post subject:  ACF and preloads : is it possible ?

Hi, my question is simple, is it possible to preload an ACF game (i'm not asking if there are ACF games currently available for preloads) ?

i'm asking cause i'm trying to understand how it works so i can code it, and i made the following tries :

- in order to download an acf game, steam needs it's decryption keys, if they are not available, then steam gives an error "missing decryption key"
- if steam has the decryption keys, then it will download the game and decrypt it
- if u set the app state to eStateAvailable or eStateAvailablePreloadable, then steam see the game as available and will download it from the ACF ContentServers.
- if you set the app state to eStatePreloadOnly then the game will be listed as preload but it will try to download if from the GCF/NCF ContentServers.

in fact maybe an ACF preload is a game with all the resources available and decrypted but the exe files in a separate and not available depot ... i should give a try later

do u guys have some knowledge about this ?

Thanks !
