steam upload error9

Are many on the web the reasons for this error .. and I am asking to everybody if you know some hint.
the EXE is just 1.5Gb so we are not forced to enter in the tunnel of the steamworks SDK ... but the Error9 is continuous.

some help?

Hello Mariano,

Unfortunately, I don't think I can help you with this, as I have never tried this myself and I don't have any knowledge of the Steam publishing process. As far as I know, no other JAWA user has done this before you, so I'm afraid you may not find the answer here. You're a pioneer!

JAWA games are essentially based on web technologies, so they are designed to be distributed through web platforms or, potentially, through the Android Play Store (as a PWA web app). So initially, I would even have said that publishing such a game on Steam was impossible. However, after looking into it, it seems that it is actually possible to bring a web game to Steam:

So, in principle, it should be doable, as I don't think the issue comes from the fact that the web code was generated by JAWA rather than by another tool (JavaScript is JavaScript).

Have you tried asking Steam Support or the Steam community for help, particularly developers who have already published a web-based game on Steam?

Sorry again and keep me informed if you findthe solution.

Re : steam upload error9

we have the final step of the steamworks ... we asked what if we have an EXE already packaged or they want an EXE unpackaged ... in that case there is process, quite weird to be faced and NOT for faint hearts, indeed THEY force us to package the EXE with their SDK...
