# Steam
|
|
|
|
[Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/) is a software for digital game
|
|
destribution.
|

|
### Errors with the Wine prefix of a specific game
|
|
|
|
The last ressort for fixing problems that are related to the wine prefix of a
|
|
game is to delete the Wine prefix.
|
|
For this the id of the steam game first has to be known.
|
|
This is done by navigating to the steam website or the community page of the
|
|
specific game.
|
|
The URLs will have one of the following forms where the game id can be read:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
http://steamcommunity.com/app/<game id>/
|
|
http://store.steampowered.com/app/<game id>/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After that navigate to the place your steam games are stored.
|
|
You can remove `<steam location>/steamapps/compatdata/<game id>` to reset the
|
|
Wine prefix completely.
|
|
It is recommended to keep a backup of the folder containing the old Wine prefix
|
|
as it stores game saves and other important data, that can be useful.
|
|
|
|
## Adding non-Steam Games
|
|
|
|
Games that are not in the Steam store can be added to the Steam application.
|
|
This is done by opening (the desktop mode) of Steam and selecting
|
|
`Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library` under the `Games` tab in the top left
|
|
corner.
|
|
A dialog window will open to select the software to add to steam.
|
|
Check the box or boxes of the software to add to Steam and tap
|
|
`Add Selected Programs`.
|
|
|
|
For games such as launchers a `Launch Option` can be set most of the time to
|
|
skip the launcher and go directly into the specified game.
|
|
This option usually mirrors the command that would be used in the command line
|
|
of a system to go directly into the game.
|
|
Often this is done by simply appending the path of the specified game to the
|
|
command but this can also differ depending on the launcher.
|
|
|
|
## Setting Icons and Banners for Games
|
|
|
|
Images for games can be changed by downloading them and applying them manually.
|
|
An easier route can be taken by using
|
|
[SGDBoop](https://www.steamgriddb.com/boop).
|
|
To use it, you first need to install it.
|
|
It is available in the [flatpak package manager](../linux/flatpak.md).
|
|
After that navigate to the
|
|
[SteamGridDB website](https://www.steamgriddb.com/boop) and log in with your
|
|
steam account.
|
|
Follow the remaining steps as described on the website.
|
|
Following this different images, banners and icons can be found on
|
|
[the website](https://www.steamgriddb.com/).
|
|
When hovering over an asset a little blue button will appear.
|
|
On the press of the button a game can be chosen that will use the asset in the
|
|
steam application.
|
|
Make sure the game is a Steam game or
|
|
[added to Steam as a non-Steam game](#adding-non-steam-games).
|
|
After the installation of the game, the system may need to restart to correctly
|
|
work with [SGDBoop](https://www.steamgriddb.com/boop) for the game.
