Just found this out after the latest June update that Valve Steam pushed out. There are now 2 versions: Steam Beta Update and Steam Families Beta. When you launch Steam it is in default mode which is No Beta Chosen. The biggest problem is that if you are using generic controllers and sticks..aka arcade controllers they will not show up as being mapped with specific device id's you intailly had assigned them. If you switch the interface to one of the versions I mentioned above Steam Will close and restart to do a new install of that version...'then get this', once it restarts then your generic controllers and devices will show up and will work. The main point is GameEX will no longer work with Steam since it has to sign you in each time you launch a new game, so when GameEX signs you in it will still work normally by launching the game, but your generic controllers will not be listed for you to use them. Here some pics if that helps. There is no way to lock the version you want to use permanently, and you have to manually remap everything...it's crazy

So I spent the better part of tonight making an application as a go-between for GameEX and Steam. The idea is that it can be run standalone and get all the required information/media for your game and then it can be run with command line parameters to use the steam protocol (steam://run/appid) to launch games (even non-steam games that you added to Steam). When the game closes, my app does as well meaning GameEX immediately grabs focus again. It also downloads Movies, Title Images and Screenshots for snaps. This means even if you already have Steam setup in GameEX (or any frontend, for that matter), you could use it to get this media. Anyway I'm still working on it but I'm excited enough and tired enough to share this video and hope that maybe someone out there will want to use it soon! BTW, it's rough right now but I think it shows the software off pretty well. 1:25 to see how to use it to setup a game 3:18 to see how it grabs/previews media 5:00 to see it run from command line 5:54 to see how to set it up in GameEX 8:00 to see it working in GameEX (goes into game at 8:20, goes back to GameEX at 8:40)
