Steamworks SDK update 1.61

Lord and Protector Gaben released a new Steamworks SDK update! ːhappychappyː However this broke how the game interacts with Steam Stats ... ːnotsohappychappyː

And so began the epic quest to search through ancient C++ to find the specific gibberish moonrunes which I had written over 10 years ago and fix it.

It wasn't a particularly big change, in fact it was a helpful one; Steam Stats are now preloaded by the Steam Client before the game is even launched. Unfortunately this means the removal of the checks for whether the stats have loaded which means that all the safety checks for loading stats now return false and the onUserStatsReceived callback is just sitting there never getting called.

So now if you bring up the console at the main menu and scroll up, you will see the achievements listed and whether you have achieved them or not ... which is just a feedback thing I made to make sure that the new code was actually working!

And that is the BIG CHANGE which deserved a MAJOR UPDATE status. I had to go back in and read through the ancient tome of C++ to find out what it all meant and make a few code changes so it works nicely with the latest Steamworks SDK and stop it sh!tting the bed.

Happy Dragoonening!
