Hello,

 

I'm wondering if editing of Steam App ID of a game in your library is possible. Could you elaborate ?

 

Thanks in advance.

The steam app id is the identification number of a certain game in steam. For example Counter strike source's steamid is 240.

You can easily find out the steamid of a game by visiting the store page. http://store.steampowered.com/app/240/

I see no point in editing the steamid however, there was a bug in "team fortress dedicated server", you couldnt host css servers. you had to go in the folder of that program and create the Appid.txt file which only contains the appid of the game server you wanted to host.

but that problem has already been fixed and the program is since then called "source dedicated server".

No it doesn't, and you can't force steam to think that you own an EU/US copy of the game by editing the files. Either you shouldn't have purchased the russian version or you get the english languagefiles another way.

It's not the language files in question. The game is multilang already. It's that the game needs Russian IP not only for activating and downloading the game but also playing it too.

 

I overcome that by a little trick however there is no guarantee that Steam won't prevent it someday.

Afraid it is so.

But for those having such problems, just use 4GB Skyrim mod you can find on skyrimnexus.com which basically allows your Skyrim to use whole vram available, drastically improving performance especially when you are using custom HD textures.

It has a launcher of its own, so it unintentionally bypasses the IP check of Steam while you are counted connected to Steam (chatting, achievements etc.) once you are in the game.
