Steam Vault v1.3.1

Release date: 2026-10-15
Version Type: Semantic Versioning

✨ Highlights

Steam Vault v1.3.1 delivers an upgraded, modular Store Notifications & Alerts Engine across all enabled storefront platforms, introducing verified 100% free game giveaway detection, real-time store deals, and official game patch notes.

This patch resolves promotion false-positives by strictly isolating active 100% free giveaways from regular on-sale titles, organizes the notifications dashboard into a 3-tab layout (Free Games, Deals & Promotions, Patch Notes), moves Settings access to an ergonomic gear button at the bottom-left corner of the sidebar, and adds seamless Epic Online Services (EOS) overlay management.

🚀 Key Improvements & Features

  • Multi-Platform Free Game Promotions & Giveaways Engine (platforms::promotions):

    • Implemented modular, per-platform promotion fetchers for Epic Games (epic.rs), Steam (steam.rs), GOG (gog.rs), and multi-platform aggregator (gamerpower.rs).
    • Distinguishes active 100% free games to keep forever from upcoming giveaways with dedicated "Claim on Platform ↗" and "Preview ↗" browser actions.
    • Highlights promotion values (e.g. "Worth $19.99") and expiration dates directly on promotion cards.

  • Store Deals & Promotions Integration (get_store_deals):

    • Real-time deals engine surfacing featured Steam specials and discounts, Epic Games store sales, and GOG catalog deals.
    • Displays visual discount badges (-75%, -60%), original strikethrough pricing, and final sale prices.

  • Library Game Patch Notes Feed (get_library_patch_notes):

    • Automatically queries official update announcements and changelogs for installed library titles via Steam's News API.
    • Automatically sanitizes BBCode/HTML markup and provides direct links to full official developer announcements in the browser.

  • Unified 3-Tab Notifications Dashboard Window:

    • The dashboard header features an interactive 🔔 Notifications button with live alert counter pills.
    • Expands into an integrated sub-panel with dedicated tabs: 🎁 Free Games (active & upcoming separated), 🏷️ Deals & Promotions, and 📰 Patch Notes.

  • Downloads & Component Status Subpage:

    • Dedicated sub-window on the dashboard providing real-time visibility into tool downloads (e.g. Legendary CLI) and gaming overlay components.

  • Epic Online Services (EOS) Overlay Management:

    • Integrated EOS overlay detection and one-click installation via Legendary CLI backend.

✅ Changed

  • Ergonomic Settings Navigation: Relocated the Settings access button from the main navigation strip to a dedicated gear cog button pinned at the bottom-left corner of the sidebar, rotating smoothly on hover.
  • Platform Card Cleanliness: Standardized the Epic Games card in Settings to match uniform launcher styling without redundant nested panels, moving custom executable paths and EOS overlay options into a clean ⚙ Legendary & EOS Settings drawer.

🐛 Fixed

  • Free Game Promotion Filter False Positives: Resolved an issue where paid on-sale games or upcoming titles with non-zero discounted prices leaked into active free game notifications by strictly validating price.totalPrice.discountPrice == 0 and active 0% promotional offers.
  • Legendary Account Authentication Parser: Fixed regex and prefix matching for active Legendary CLI sessions by properly recognizing Epic account: and Account ID: output lines.
