you patch that to
.text:201A4E94 jz .0201A4E26
However, that ends you up at .text:201A4E26 push offset unk_20264084
.text:201A4E2B lea ecx, [esp+0F4h+var_64]
.text:201A4E32 push ecx
.text:201A4E33 call __CxxThrowException@8 ; _CxxThrowException(x,x)
I am sure you meant to patch it like: 201A4E94 -> 90 90, which would cause the possible "Cannot play while purchase pending" message to be skipped. Your patch actually does the same but does so by crashing into an exception... You probably don't want to do that. Second you changed my patch from .2020EFAD: 7502 jne .02020EFB1
to
.2020EFAD: 7402 je 00020EFB1
Note that changing it like this effectively gives you all subscriptions except Steam Master. This could cause the Valve Cyber Cafe EULA to show up which might need the registry patch to agree to. Note 2: I will probably inject a small dword scanning loop in the future to prevent some beta apps from showing up in the list like they do now. Otherwise it seems all fine. i know i dropped it into a loop..
i knew that long time ago i was just too lazy to do with it something since i said no more releases from me but its the same result so i dont care
but ill fix it in next release if it ever be

Maddox: My patches are not included at all in the DLL you posted, are you sure you posted the right version?
Furthermore I checked the patches in your version. I have to agree with ICS_,
they are made obsolete by the Steam Master subscription.
Also two of your patches are merely to prevent Steam from throwing an exception.
Which means something has gone wrong already in the Steam process, its something you want generally to avoid.
As you know Steam consists of a client and a server part which talk with each other in-side the same process.
Its better to patch the server part only which controls all the data.
In steam.dll you patched SteamGetEncryptedUserIdTicket on the client side.
Also all steamui.dll patches are client-side fixes of course. If you patch the server side you can be sure all clients get the same information.

Mindhunter wrote: hcupa does your program somehow mess around with Steam? Because a lot of people get "You don't own this game" shit on their legit accounts!  Mindhunter: Well I was thinking on that. It could actually be related.
We noticed with CAG how sensitive the Valve auth servers are to heavy loads.
Now for games you are not legally subscribed for, it keeps on attempting different content servers every few minutes.
So it could well be the Valve ticket authentication servers are getting overloaded, giving legit people problems.
However when the authentication servers go offline, all authentications are succesful, so you would be able to download everything just like 2 weeks ago.
If you want to prevent probing all the time, pause updating on the games you cannot update anyways.

the SteamUI changes I made are somewhat neccesary (for me)
The SteamUI changes will remove dvd/cd check, some stuff with decrypting gcf  , offline mode, view betas (which some people dont like)
as for steam.dll its what you want on it.

MaddoxX: I checked and you are indeed right. I made a mistake, my patches are indeed in.
As for removing the betas I will make a steam.dll much like the existing patch for that, just elaborate it a bit to keep it all as clean as possible.

Something very curious just happened to me.
I logged to a black account which I just created. Then joined a VAC2 server with no probs, after that I saw a lot of people being kicked out due to to "you don't own this game error" while I was still connected playing as I had a legal account.
How can it be explained? Legal people being kicked while I could still play on a blank account. LOL

Just only now was bored and spent some time on implementing the idea.
