Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf/issues/280

so i had shared game directory for steam games using a common folder for each client in config.toml which was working fine for all clients. when i updated to latest sha-4c6f40f , i don't see the downloaded games in steam anymore. i still have the games in the common folder but don't see them when launching steam via wolf ui. somehow the games are now listed as non-steam. any way to fix this?

With the new wolf-ui you'll be able to achieve all that without having to mess with the config.toml. There are now profiles instead that you can easily access from any Moonlight client.

It's still WIP (hence why it's not merged into stable) but I'd suggest to just move the files from your custom location that you had before to the default profile state folder.

@ABeltramo thanks for the response. where would the default profile state folder be?

If you've followed the quickstart guide it's under /etc/wolf/ on your host. If you've mounted that somewhere else then it's anywhere you've mounted it 😉
