And why not in download speed?īecause you can only download as fast as your ISP will allow it. in terms of download speed yeah you're not gonna say any difference. TL DR: you'd be better off trying to run this in some kind of virtual machine, if you want both the Steam client and your apps and games in it to be actually portable.Again you're thinking in terms of oses.

Any app or game you install via that client could break portability very easily, since they end up being actually INSTALLED, and someone would have to sit down and make each and every app and game you installed portable, which is not legal in some cases, technically nearly impossible in others, and still others would already be portable.Īs for the malware detection from Windows Defender, the only suggestion I have would be to upload the file(s) WD has a problem with to someplace like virustotal, for a 'second opinion' (or forty), to make sure it's not a false positive. In the end, however, I think that only the Steam client, ITSELF, could reliably be made portable. When the launcher is forced to quit during startup, it will break the Steam/Valve Registry entries at next startupīut I'd recommend against it, unless you'd like to try updating the launcher? I'd highly recommend you re-read the first post on this thread, the last paragraph(s) answer your questions, as far as this project's current state is concerned.The Run-Key in the Registry isn't checked by the launcher yet.When changing from a 64 bit machine to a 32 bit machine, another version of the game engine might be downloaded.Only compatible with Source and GoldSrc games.When installing new games, installer and uninstaller entries will be left.It will not be portable and might even break things (local Steam installations specifically).īug fixed: Launcher quits after download and at next startup deletes all registry entries from a locally installed Steam. So everybody is strongly encouraged to NOT use this launcher. This has not been updated for a long time and probably will not receive any update from the original authors (besides never having been finished at all).
