Autohost and Steam
[RSS]
Anyone ever get an autohost app working with a Steam version of SE5? I decided for no particular reason to buy the game on Steam today, and I'm trying to get my autohost to use that version, but whenever I run the game using a Steam shortcut:
"C:\Users\edkol\Documents\Apps\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 1690 %*
the autohost immediately uploads the existing gam file rather than waiting for the turn to be processed!

Crossposted from my answer to the same question asked by the same person on reddit:
This is the workaround I use:
1: make a symlink to steam.dll in the SE5 folder. I'm on Windows and use Link Shell Extension 64-bit to create the symlink.
2: run SE5.exe directly from the batch file / autohost tool. Steam needs to already be running.
