Barleyman: From the other thread, there's a proper fix now. Someone wrote a new Steam plugin which does, indeed, work.
https://github.com/ABaumher/galaxy-integration-steam/releases Now we just need to get that incorporated into Galaxy client so it gets fixed in next update. Any guesses how soon CDPR will do that? Surely by next week?
heyyaabot: I followed the instructions in the link exactly. not only did it not work, but now some of my steam games wont boot, even after a full restart, running the games as admin and verifying the file integrity.
"It works for me".
Ok, I know that's annoying and unhelpful, I saw an error message using their "1 click" script (some file not found) so I used the classic installation method. I also wiped the GOG steamdb as suggested for good measure.
it most definitely DOES work for me .. but it doesn't pick up Steam "last played" stat. You can search and start the game as normal, though, it'll show up in last played afterwards. I can see it does "syncing steam integration" but it doesn't seem to collect this stat.
I can't comment on steam games not working afterwards, "works for me". Although you did specify "some", so perhaps I just haven't found such a game. Then again, the only reason I could think of is that you've got crashed GOG task running on the background or perhaps you got locked out of your steam account, but then Steam wouldn't let you log in before you do 2FA.
