I was helping my brother with his project, which uses luasteam, but couldn't get it to run initally. I would always receive the following error:
I had steam up and running and the
steam_appid.txthad the correct app ID, so this wasn't it.After digging through the documentation in
steam_api.rst, I found several additional reasons, why this error could occur. It eventually turned out I was simply missing the product in my steam account, which was easy to remedy.I suggest amending the existing error message with the additional information, which could help future users troubleshoot this problem more effectively 😊.
