Is MacType safe with Steam games?

[sabanleon]

Hello, ive recently downloaded MacType and i absolutely love the way my text works. However, i heared it might be seen as a cheat and result in a VAC ban on steam, or the game i play. So i just wanna double check, is the program safe from steams side, and can i somehow maybe disable the app for all the apps i launch through steam, so i dont have to manually turn it off and on every time. Thanks for the help!

There is no guarantee. You'd better not bet and unload mactype from those online competition games. For single-player games, you are basically safe.

If those Steam games all depend on a same specific dll file from steam, you can write that DLL name into the unloaddll section and all games will be excluded. If there is no such traits, then you can't.

However, in later versions of mactype, you can write folder path as an exclusion so that since all Steam games are installed to the same location by default, you can simply write the parent folder of the game installation location.
To define a folder exclusion, just end the path with \ like C:\Windows\

Moreover, you don't need to always define the folder path from the beginning, a definition like \Windows\ is a valid exclusion that will exclude any folder named "Windows"

Okay, ill try excluding all online game folders and see if it works, or better said the steam folder itself :) Thanks for the help <3

Also, sorry for another comment. But i cant find where do i exclude the folder path. Im pretty sure i installed the newest version of the app as well

Just write the folder path under [UnloadDll] section like normally.
