Problems with steam integration (Failed to initialize steam)

[Alem]

Hello, I got stuck with the Steam integration. So far the overlay works fine, Steam tracks the in-game time but I can't activate any achievements.

First of all, I have a log error after starting the game:

Code: Select all

Bootstrap to the start of init.init took 0.07s
Early init took 0.02s
Loader init took 0.05s
Loading error handling took 0.05s
Loading script took 0.22s
Loading persistent took 0.03s
Imported steam.
Failed to initialize steam.
Running init code took 0.37s

After this, all seems fine to me, but the full log is in the attachment. I'm running the last Ren'py version (6.99.12.4.2187), the sdk says there is no newer version. Checked all the steam libraries and re-copied them into the lib folder.

The next probable screwup point is the app id. It lives in the steam_appid.txt file in the root Ren'py folder like E:/SDK/ and contains a single 6-digit string like this:

Code: Select all

XXXXXX

I couldn't check if this is the right way to define game's id, but the instructions were pretty clear - just create a .txt with the number. The string itself is the number I got from Steam, Steamworks > App Admin Game's name (ID) to be exact. Maybe it needs something extra to activate?

And the last potential trouble point is the achievement's granting process itself. I used the solution from another thread so it looks like this:

Code: Select all

    #here ends one of the paths and the final fade out begins

    $achievement.grant("ED1")
    init: 
        $achievement.register("ED1")
        $achievement.Sync()

    $achievement.Sync()

    scene black
    with fade
    
    window hide
    pause 0.1
    
    jump quit

Tried to use both human-readable names for achievements and their IDs (in the 1/0, 1/1 format) and it doesn't work for me. Uploaded fresh builds to steam and ran them from there and tried them locally. The game doesn't register unlocks at all. Any ideas?

Thank you!

Okay, got achievements to work. The screw-up point was in Steam itself - I didn't publish the achievements after saving them in the achiev tab >< Don't forget to check the publish tab after updates.

I have your exact log however my game can't seem to start via steam at all, just to make sure, you put the app_id in the game folder of your game, no?
