* Paid apps can only be cached with access to a Steam account that owns them
* No support for forcing download of 32 bit apps
* Yes, it's written in PHP. No shame.
# SteamCMD Errors
| Error | Possible Reason |
| ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `ERROR! Timed out waiting for AppInfo update.` | Unknown |
| `Login Failure: Rate Limit Exceeded (84)` | Unknown |
| `ERROR! Failed to install (No subscription)` | Game not owned by any authorised accounts |
| `Error! State is 0x202 after update job.` | Not enough space to download game |
| `Error! State is 0x402 after update job.` | Update required but not completed - check network |
| `Error! State is 0x602 after update job.` | Update required but not completed - check network |
For other error codes, you can calculate the app's state(s) by converting the `0x000` code to decimal,
and finding which [AppState codes](https://github.com/lutris/lutris/blob/master/docs/steam.rst)
sum to the given code, which will give you some clues as to what's going on.
For example:
* [`0x402` to decimal](https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=0x402+to+decimal) = 1026
* 1026 is the sum of:
* 2: `StateUpdateRequired`
* 1024: `StateUpdateStarted`
