How to publish own game on Steam Direct #5 Upload build to Steam, use Steam Pipe + GUI - Easiest way
How to upload application build to Steam servers?
For further productive work with SteamDirect, we need to master the Steamworks SDK, at least at the level of using ContentBuilder, to download the build via the SteamPipe system, which we will do today!

In this video I’ll talk about all 3 ways to download, namely:
1. Upload the application in a ZIP archive through the site, but only up to 512 MB.
2. Download the application through ContentBuilde using the console, but there are difficulties with filling out the vdf files, AppID, DepotID and setting the bat file to download.
3. Downloading the build via the Content Builder GUI with a graphical interface is the easiest and most effective way, I will dwell on it in more detail.

Add a new launch option
We indicate which file Steam should open when the game starts, i.e. define the executable

Paths:
In sdk\tools\ContentBuilder\scripts - there are two .vdf files that are needed for the 2nd method, but it is better to know where they are
In sdk\tools\ContentBuilder - lies run_build.bat, which also needs to be configured for the 2nd method
In sdk\tools - lies the SteamPipeGUI.zip archive, which should be unzipped
After unzipping, the path appears:
sdk\tools\SteamPipeGUI - here lies SteamPipeGUI.exe, which we will use today
In it, AppID indicate the AppID of our application, which ends with 0
DepotID defaults to 1 more AppID
Build Path - path to your build files
SteamWorks SDK Content Builder Path = YoursPath\sdk\tools\ContentBuilder
In the next video, I will tell you how to give keys to developers, the press and just friends.
