Steam updated workshop page layout and now any steam workshop page (f.e https://steamcommunity.com/app/1669000/workshop/ ) briefly show the page for ~ 1 second, and then replaces it with "Sorry! An error was encountered while processing your request"
Only thisng taht appers in error console is this:

Navigation API and window.navigation seems to be the main issue?

Pretty new standards pushed by google: https://caniuse.com/mdn-api_window_navigation & https://caniuse.com/mdn-api_navigation (date relative tab. FF only supported it just recently btw)

Strange, everywhere else they check it exists, but not there. Here's a userscript to fake it.

Code: Select all

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Steam fake navigation api
// @namespace   adoxa
// @include     https://steamcommunity.com/*
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==
window.navigation = {
  addEventListener: () => {},
  updateCurrentEntry: () => {}
}

Awesome. Thank you.

Though can't use it myself since they disallowed downloads from non-steam owners (I use/own it on GOG..), steam users would surely appreciate it.

steamcmd is the command line client version of steam, which you have to download and login in with to use. It did not used to be necessary at all (https://web.archive.org/web/20220527014 ... rough_our/). I don't want steam on my PC, nor tie any account to that (anonymous or not). It's very sad that steamDRM's monoculture has affected mods, as well as most other things concerning PC gaming in a very walled garden manner.
