How do you know if the user is logged on steam ?

Gavilya can't know if you're logged on Steam. It can only know if Steam is running. When you launch a Steam game, Gavilya executes the following command: steam://rungameid/{SteamAppIdHere}. This command tells Steam to launch the game from its ID. However, if the Steam client isn't running, or if the user isn't logged in, nothing will happen, or an error will be shown to the user.

This is what i did on my app , in the regestry Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam\ActiveProcess , ActiveProcess is 0 when the user isn't logged in , so if that value isn't 0 , it indicates that the user has logged in , that's it .

Thanks for the tip! I'll try to implement an error message if the user isn't logged in.

        RegistryKey key = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam\ActiveProcess");
        string result = key.GetValue("ActiveUser").ToString();
        if(result == "0")
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Please login on steam or something ");
        }
