Since some Lemmy users have asked me via DM and also searched my other socials to ask me about my old bypass I thought I’d share my new one with Lemmy too.

I also uploaded the source in case anyone wants to look at it (or even extend it, who knows).

Sorry for the extraordinary wait.

Have fun guys :)

Edit: I should have known Lemmy wouldn’t like a semi private forum, even though it’s all about things like this there. Here is the already built SLSsteam.so + Source Code for anyone to download anonymously if they prefer it that way.

To use it just extract the SLSsteam.so somewhere and then start steam like this:

LD_AUDIT="/full/path/to/SLSsteam.so" steam

Also has an installer which supports fish shell, .desktop entries and the Steam Deck. If you use one of those you can just run ./install.sh to install it. If the installer doesn’t work for you, you can still use the manual method.

Uninstallation:

• Move ~/.local/share/SLSsteam/steam-jupiter.bak (if it exists) to wherever realpath $(type -P steam-jupiter) outputs
• Delete ~/.local/share/applications/steam.desktop (if it exists) and (if it exists) steam-native.desktop
• Delete ~/.config/fish/conf.d/SLSsteam.fish (if it exists)
• Delete ~/.local/share/SLSsteam

To build it just run: make
