Download the latest release from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/Aetopia/NoSteamWebHelper/releases).\r\n\r\n2. Place `umpdc.dll` in your Steam installation directory where `steam.exe` is located.\r\n\r\n3. Make sure Steam is fully closed and launch a new instance of Steam.\r\n\r\n4. Start up an app and the CEF will be toggled accordingly.\r\n\r\n\u003e [!NOTE]\r\n\u003e - You may also manually toggle the CEF via a tray icon.\r\n\u003e - To prevent the CEF from automatically showing when restored, pass `-silent` to Steam.\r\n\r\n# Build\r\n1. Install [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) \u0026 [UPX](https://upx.github.io/) for optional compression.\r\n2. Update the MSYS2 Environment until there are no pending updates using:\r\n\r\n    ```bash\r\n    pacman -Syu --noconfirm\r\n    ```\r\n\r\n3. Install GCC i686 using:\r\n\r\n    ```bash\r\n    pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-gcc --noconfirm\r\n    ```\r\n\r\n4. Make sure `\u003cMSYS2 Installation Directory\u003e\\mingw32\\bin` is added to the Windows `PATH` environment variable.\r\n5. Run [`Build.cmd`](Build.cmd).\r\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Faetopia%2Fnosteamwebhelper","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Faetopia%2Fnosteamwebhelper","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Faetopia%2Fnosteamwebhelper/lists"}
