Updating Your Non-Steam Games

Notes:

  • Your Non-Steam games will be detected and imported into the games.xml database automatically whenever you open the Update Manager window, or whenever your scheduled updates run.
  • You can turn off auto-resuming of patch downloads when SteamLab starts by changing the Resume key under the Updates header in the cfg\config.ini file to 0
  • You can schedule these updates to occur automatically using the Schedule Manager or by setting an update time in the Settings GUI (old method)
  • You will be prompted to download uTorrent to facilitate game patch downloading. This is a self-contained version which will not actually install any registry keys or files outside of the SteamLab directory.
  1. Open the Update Manager by either (a) Clicking the SteamLab icon in the taskbar notification area and choosing Tools -> Update Manager or (b) Clicking "Updates" on the SteamDock.
  2. To search for patches for all games in the list, click the Search All button. To search for a specific game, select it from the list and click the Search button. Searching larger lists can take a minute or more; please be patient.
  3. To start downloading all available patches, click the Get All button. To start downloading a patch for a specific game, select the game from the list and click the Get button. You will need to allow SteamLab to download uTorrent if you have not already.
  4. You can monitor the download progress using the Update Manager window, or by double-clicking the uTorrent icon with the black downward-pointing arrow in the taskbar notification area. When the download(s) is/are complete, 'Patch Ready' will be displayed as the status for those games.
  5. To install all available updates, click the Install All button to launch each patch installer in turn. To install a specific patch, select the game in the list and click the Install button to launch the downloaded patch.
