🔍 What is Steam‑auto‑crack?

Steam-auto-crack is an open-source tool written in C# that automates the process of cracking Steam games that use Steam API checks and SteamStub DRM. It simplifies the manual steps of:

• Unpacking SteamStub-protected executables using Steamless.
• Injecting a Steam emulator (like Goldberg) to bypass API checks, allowing offline play.

---

✅ Works With:

• Games that are offline-playable
• Games using SteamStub DRM
• Games relying only on Steam’s basic API

❌ Won’t Work With:

• Games that require an internet connection all the time
• Games using Denuvo, VMProtect, or other complex DRMs
• Multiplayer-only or online-check titles

🛠 Troubleshooting

Here are some common problems and solutions:

Issue	Fix
Tool won’t run	Make sure .NET 8.0 Desktop Runtime is installed
Cracking fails with an access token error	Switch the “Generator API” option to Steam Web API in the settings
Antivirus flags steam_api.dll as malware	This is a false positive—add an exception or use a different emulator
Game doesn’t launch	Try running the crack process again or test with a different emulator

---

🔧 How It Works Internally

Behind the scenes, Steam-auto-crack does the following:

1. Reads the game’s main folder and identifies the .exe and .dll files.
2. Uses Steamless to unpack SteamStub-protected executables.
3. Downloads and configures a Steam emulator, such as Goldberg.
4. Injects the emulator into the folder and replaces steam_api.dll.
5. Creates a backup and optionally a restore package if needed.

This makes it ideal for users who want to “unpack and play” without diving into manual cracking tools.

🧩 CLI vs GUI

• The CLI version (SteamAutoCrack.CLI.exe) is perfect for automation or advanced use.
• The GUI version (if available) is beginner-friendly and allows for simple drag-and-drop operation.

✅ Summary

Steam-auto-crack is a powerful, user-friendly tool for cracking games that use SteamStub and basic Steam API protection. It does not support more advanced DRMs, but for compatible games, it’s a simple one-click solution to play them offline without Steam.

Whether you’re new to cracking or an experienced modder, Steam-auto-crack can automate a process that used to take multiple tools and manual configuration.
