SteamAutoCracker

A fast and simple tool to play Steam games without Steam. It automatically detects games, finds the right settings, and applies the necessary files to make them run. This tool is written in C++ to ensure it is lightweight and quick.

Overview

SteamAutoCracker helps you "crack" your legally owned Steam games so they can run independently. It handles the complicated parts for you, like finding the Game ID, getting the list of DLCs, and unpacking protected files. It comes with a simple windowed interface that supports dark mode.

Features

• Easy Detection: Automatically finds the Game ID from your game folder.
• Game Info: Uses a custom API to get the correct game name and DLC list.
• Steamless Support: Can automatically use Steamless to unpack protected game files (.exe).
• Multiple Options: Includes different emulators like Ali213, Goldberg, and CreamAPI.
• Safe: Creates backups of your files so you can easily undo changes.
• Fast: Built with C++ for high performance on any computer.

Requirements

• OS: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
• Build Tools: CMake 3.20+ and a C++20 compiler (like MSVC)

1. Download the code:

   git clone https://github.com/mustafachyi/SteamAutoCracker.git

Setup

For the tool to work, it needs a tools folder next to the executable. This folder should contain the emulators and Steamless.
