Steam User Info and DLCs

Hello,

Ive noticed the SteamActivationStatus field in UserSteamInfo and despite the different values lacking description in the documentation, I can kinda see how to use them. However, we have a couple of DLCs that we want to be able to check ownership for as wekk, and this is not accessible through the UserSteamInfo. The obvious workaround is to query the ownership directly through Steamworks WebAPI using cloudscript (tried to do so and succeeded), but that might bite us with request execution time in the future. At this point we are interested in querying for 3 different DLCs so we run into a risk of that happening. In the current use case, I think nothing terrible will happen if it fails midexecution, even despite lack of transaction support for Cloudscript calls (which would be amazing to have), so that is nice, but it limits the use of this logic significantly.

Best,

Radek

The field SteamActivationStatus cannot be used currently. Please take an eye on our blog and documents for the latest updates. It may be hidden from the docs or be actually used in the future.

Yes, Ive figured that out. Still, do you plan to include it in a reasonable futuure? It is just a very simple http request using the data provided in the Steam Add-on settings. Release notes from 2020 and 2019 contain nothing about Steam. If its buried somewhere in your blog posts, none of what I have found seemed to reference it.

We don't have anything to announce about this right now. Please keep an eye on our blog and roadmaps. Currently, getting the info via Steam API is a possible workaround. If you are concerned about execution times, using Azure Function can insulate you from that, you can check the doc for more details.
