Ah steamlobbylist, the tool I wrote 4 years ago for retrieving the list of lobbies through the Steam SDK.
Well, I guess you get no errors when using "steamlobbylist.exe 204080" so it means that there are no lobbies or the SDK doesn't return them for some reasons.
I don't know if it's necessary to update the Steam SDK I used there or something else, anyway I can't help.

Idk what you mean under "steamlobbylist.exe 204080". Is it launch properties or something else? But i say you i has your script half year ago and its work pretty well but im reinstalled windows and its gone. In folder with that script i has "steam_api.dll" "stealobbylist.ini"(with game id which i want to browse) and batch file which runs scripts with you credits.
I have a screenshot.

That bat and ini have not been made by me.

If you want to use the bat solution just put the following in a text file and rename as bat:
steamlobbylist.exe 204080

While I don't think it was an "ini" in the other solution, probably it was a steam_appid.txt file containing 204080 at the first line.
Probably the bat you had there contained: steamlobbylist.exe ""

Just guessing, the command-line syntax is the one I provided before.
The following is the full help provided by the tool at runtime:

Code: Select all

Usage: steamlobbylist <appID*>

Use appID equal to "" or ALL to list all the lobbies of the installed games
Use appID with a FROM-TO to scan all the id in that range
You can also use the comma as separator
Example: 1-100,120,480

Some games allow you to query their lobbies even if you don't own them.

You right it was launch option and i get it to work. Work but extremely unusable xD after start and gathering true info its instantly crashing. There is screenshot which i has to record and slow down in Sony Vegas to take.

Thank you a lot for script and help after years. The only one i need now its know how to fix that crash =)

[ZEFIR001]

crash was solved by batch PAUSE command

[aluigi]

That's not a "crash", it's simply the normal termination of the program
But yes, PAUSE is what you needed.

Hey!

This doesn't seem to be working anymore, 0 lobbies returned for all the games. Any idea why? Can't figure it out. Thank you!

I don't think anyone else is going to reply, for sure this stuff is a decade old and I don't know if recompiling it with a newer Steam SDK would make it work again, maybe not.
