A frequent problem with game modifications is that they often stop working correctly after official game updates. Now, Valve is taking steps to fix this.
- Valve announced a new functionality for Steam and Steam Workshop that will help game developers and mod creators minimize compatibility issues with modifications.
- The whole setup makes it easy to let players using the Steam Workshop know which game versions the mods work with. Modders can now also upload multiple versions of their projects to the Workshop, allowing players to choose which one they want to use.
- Steamworks now lets game developers check if the version of the game on a user’s computer is compatible with the mod they’ve downloaded, and it can let the user know if there’s a mismatch.
- The new API features even allow Steam to close the game when there is a mismatch between the mod and the game version, switch to the appropriate game version, install it, and restart.
Implementing all of these features will require work from both game developers and modders, but the benefits will be significant, especially for players who enjoy using mods – it will greatly simplify their experience.
