General Questions

What is a Steam manifest file?
A Steam manifest file is a configuration file that contains information about game files, versions, and other metadata. These files are used by Steam to determine which files need to be downloaded and installed for a particular game. Manifest files are essential for verifying game integrity and installing specific versions of games.
How do I find a game's Steam AppID?
The easiest way to find a Steam AppID is to visit SteamDB.info, search for your game, and look for the AppID number displayed at the top of the page. You can also find it in the URL of a game's Steam store page after "/app/". For example, in the URL "https://store.steampowered.com/app/271590/Grand_Theft_Auto_V/", the AppID is 271590.
Is CRUZE GAMES safe to use?
Yes, CRUZE GAMES is safe to use. Our website doesn't store any personal data, and all operations happen client-side. The manifest files are downloaded directly from GitHub servers, ensuring security and reliability.

Using CRUZE GAMES

What can I do with game manifest files?

They're particularly useful for developers, modders, and gamers who need specific game file versions or want to manage their game installations more efficiently.
Are all Steam games available in your database?

How do I use CruzeGames Loader?
After downloading the CruzeGames Loader from our website, run the application and follow the on-screen instructions. You'll need to provide the manifest file you downloaded from our website. The loader will handle the rest, including verification and processing of the manifest data. For detailed instructions, please refer to our Usage Guide page.

Technical Questions

What happens if a manifest check fails?
If a manifest check fails, it typically means that the AppID you entered doesn't exist in our database or there may have been a temporary connection issue. Double-check that you've entered the correct AppID and try again. If the problem persists, the manifest might not be available in our database yet.
How often are manifest files updated?
Our database is updated regularly to include new game versions and updates. The frequency of updates varies depending on the popularity of the game and how often the developer releases patches. Major games typically see updates within 24-48 hours after a new version is released on Steam.
Does CRUZE GAMES work with all operating systems?
The CRUZE GAMES website works on any modern web browser regardless of operating system. The CruzeGames Loader application is currently available for Windows only. We're working on versions for macOS and Linux, which will be released in the future. Please check our website for updates on additional platform support.
