  • I already have set up through Playnite…

    I think there might be a misunderstanding about the purpose of GameVault. It’s actually not designed as a replacement for Playnite. In fact, GameVault integrates seamlessly with Playnite—it complements your setup by acting as an additional source, similar to how Steam functions alongside Playnite.

    Just about everything you charge for is just leveraging some service or tool someone else already made for free.

    I understand your perspective, but please consider that our app itself is entirely free to use. The only paid features we offer are integrations with third-party services—these integrations are optional enhancements and aren’t required for using the core functionality of our app.




  • First of all, thank you for trying it.

    DLC, MOD and Patch file support is on the roadmap until then it’s a solution to just put them into one tar archive or whatever.

    Regarding the metadata not being found, it can happen in rare cases, you can simply enter the igdb ID into the remap search bar and that will do the trick, no need to edit files on your server or whatever.

    Lastly the Microsoft store is only one of our multiple distribution channels, we also share precompiled executables on GitHub releases. It says it’s unrecommended but don’t worry about it. Check out the client docs for all ways to install the client.
