I can use the above method to run the Fangamer install that is in a folder other than what steam installed, but in that case I am required to have two installs on the same machine which is redundant aside from the obvious situation of wanting to avoid automatic updates that might break a mod. However, again, this ONLY works launching from Steam and ONLY if I ALSO install the game from Steam. The gamepad will not work in Steam, even if launching from Big Picture mode unless in the properties I de-select "Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game", then it works so I can use the controller to try playing with mods. "D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command% "C:\Program Files (x86)\ConcernedApe\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command% Using the above under "Launch Options" in steam to make it run the path of the game which means that it won't be running whatever it updates to, and the gamepad will work, but if I try this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\ConcernedApe\Stardew Valley\Stardew Valley.exe" %command% So both game updates AND gamepad support is locked behind the Steam wall? Why? The PC recognizes it, but the game doesn't. Not my Nvidia Shield controller and not my PS4 controller. The game simply does not recognize any of my Gamepads. The next problem I came to was Gamepad support.

That way I don't have to reinstall Steam every time an update comes out, but it's still a pain.


How do I update the version of the game installed by physical disc?īased on the above I figured out that if I first install the Fangamer files to a PC that doesn't have Steam installed and then manually overwrite all the files onto it the update will work. It's trying to make me install it using Steam client and I don't want to. Still, I don't really consider this to be a DRM free copy if I am required to agree to Steam's Subscriber Agreement and use their DRM in order to play what I paid for.ĮDIT 3: Steam won't let me update the game that I installed from the physical disc. Can I save the updater through the browser logged into Steam, or am I required to run Steam in order to update and play now? If so that's not what I consider DRM free to mean >.< This arrived sealed in shrinkwrap so I know it wasn't used by anyone else.ĮDIT 2: I closed and reopened steam and I was able to activate it. That's why I paid double to get the physical discs. I don't actually like having to use Steam to play games.
