FiveM on Steam isn't counted at all anymore #4388

Open

Description

@nyxaroo

What happened?

Since the recent FiveM update on Steam, when FiveM is launched, it isn't counted as having been launched on Steam, which causes problems for servers that require a minimum number of hours to be added to a whitelist. Before, we had Source SDK 2007, and then FiveM, but now there's nothing.

Expected result

that the Fivem app on Steam be launched

Reproduction steps

  1. Launch FiveM with Steam

Importancy

Slight inconvenience

Area(s)

    This also appears to possibly be affecting users with controllers through Steam. They no longer work.

    Read the announcements in the cfx discord regarding Steam authentication.

    You need to add set sv_enforceSteamAuth true to your server.cfg and make sure you update to the latest server artifacts.

    That solves the problem with JacketsDevelopment but it doesn't solve my problem.

    FiveM or RedM is not longer listed on Steam, this "feature" or way to authenticate is not longer needed and deprecated, thats why its gets not longer counted in gametime and Steamfriends will not longer see you gaming five/redm.

    This issue can be closed, I think the Five/RedM application on Steam will not come back.
