Limitations & Known Issues

• Steam is the only supported platform currently
• Paid apps can only be cached with access to a Steam account that owns them
• No support for forcing download of 32 bit apps
• Yes, it's written in PHP. No shame.

SteamCMD Errors

For other error codes, you can calculate the app's state(s) by converting the 0x000 code to decimal, and finding which AppState codes sum to the given code, which will give you some clues as to what's going on.

For example:

• 0x402 to decimal = 1026
• 1026 is the sum of:
  • 2: StateUpdateRequired
  • 1024: StateUpdateStarted
