GameSave Manager 3.1.571.0 for Steam Games​

With GameSave Manager, you can easily backup, restore and transfer your gamesaves. It has support over to 11,292 games from Steam Store.


Ever had to format your system?
Perhaps you have been victim of file corruption which also victimized your game saves? Maybe you just wish to transfer your game save(s) to your new machine, or to take with you to a friend's?

With GameSave Manager, you can easily backup, restore and transfer your game save(s). No longer do you need to manually track through all of the those different directories to backup/restore/transfer your game saves, making it great for those who like to share game save progress with friends/family, format frequently, paranoid about data loss, etc.

What's New​

  • Fixed: Backups failing Validation checks under certain Backup configurations
  • Fixed: Crash while scanning for save data utilising certain 'InstallShield Uninstaller' registry value(s)
  • Fixed: Failed restoration tasks not correctly being flagged in the task log
  • Fixed: Issue in which 'Test Detection' not correctly parsing registry value contents (via Custom GameSave Entries Wizard)
  • Modified: "/ignore" commandline switch now offers UI support when no title is specified (i.e /ignore vs "/ignore RecordTitle")
  • Managing your Custom GameSave Entries no longer triggers a "Full Rescan" (entry is appended to 'ScanResults.txt' for faster scanning)
  • Updated 7zip assemblies (from 23.01 to 24.08)

Valve bans all Steam games that force players to watch advertisements​


Valve has implemented new rules around advertising, explicitly prohibiting games that force players to watch in-game ads.

The new rules from Valve - available online and first reported by Gaming on Linux - confirm that whilst cross-promotion and product placement are permitted, games that force players to watch or engage with advertising in order to play are not.

Nor should developers use advertising as a "way to provide value to players, such as giving players a reward for watching or engaging with advertising in their game".

"Developers should not utilise paid advertising as a business model in their game, such as requiring players to watch or otherwise engage with advertising in order to play, or gating gameplay behind advertising," the rules explain.

"If your game's business model relies on advertising on other platforms, you will need to remove those elements before shipping on Steam. Some options you could consider include switching to a single purchase 'paid app', or making your game free to play with optional upgrades sold via Microtransactions or Downloadable Content (DLC)."

Whilst I suspect most of us would associate this kind of behaviour with mobile games more than those available on Steam, Valve clearly thought it necessary to clarify, in clear English, "what is and is not supported on Steam".
Developers are also not allowed to charge other developers for access to Steam features, such as sale pages, bundles, store fronts, or franchise pages.

Last week, Valve quietly implmented a useful new Steam feature warning users - and potential purchasers - how long it's been since an early access game last received an update.

While in Windows 11 MS is showing Ads as a process to increase revenue but saying that these are not called ads but tips or suggestions as termed by their spokesperson.

Windows 11 is showing more Xbox Game Pass PC ads notifications. Turn them off​

You’re not alone, but there’s indeed a surge in PC Game Pass ads on Windows 11. Whether you call these ads “recommendations” or even notifications, Microsoft is not planning to give up on the ageing. The company recently told Windows Latest that these notifications are a way for users to discover something valuable.

Windows Latest previously reported that Microsoft is showing ads for the Microsoft Defender app (bundled with Microsoft 365) and Black Ops 6. Now, we noticed that it’s trying to convince more people to try the Xbox Game Pass for PC, also known as PC Game Pass. It’s showing more alerts or notifications to encourage sign-ups.
