CrossOver Support - Community Forums

hi

With this URL, we can retrieve the list of games owned by the user based on their SteamID.

http://api.steampowered.com/IPlayerService/GetOwnedGames/v0001/?key=${steamKey}&steamid=${steamId}

It would be convenient to present the list of crossties available for the games the user owns, as looking up every single game we have can be overwhelming when we have a bunch of Steam games. This would be more convenient.

Something like this should work – it is slow to cache the files due to rate limiting on the Steam end but once loaded it should do the trick.

You will need a steam api key and your profile will need to be public.

I do not think there is a public API for crossover, so I just did a rough scrape of the compatibility page for each game (with some of them not being found however). Feel free to fork it and issue a PR so as the game cache can be improved.

I must admit it is not the best way to do it and feels like a massive code stench, but it does the trick and most of the work had been done from a few years ago prior to Steam improving their category management.

I think CrossOver uses some sort of API for the compatibility database, but it'd probably be much easier to read crossover.tie locally for this.

I hadn't thought of digging into the crossover application so thank you for pointing me towards the crossover.tie file :D

I had only just downloaded the trial - and have now just purchased a license. The main difficulty I had was linking the steam name to the name used by crossover which resulted in several misses.

I have noticed that my library has several games which aren't listed in crossover but are working well in the default steam bottle. I am not a better tester, is there any way these could be added to the compatibility list?

Caveblazers, Downfall, LOVE, Super Hydorah, UnMetal — all work well

Mount Your Friends, Over 9000 Zombies, Worms Blast — do not run (at least in the default bottle)

Apologies for going off topic on this :/

FYI: Running on M1 Pro

I recently started looking through my steam game list and trying a bunch of things I don't normally play to give some more data, but having this integration would be very useful, and would probably encourage others to share more ratings as well!
