👋 About Us

We're UnionCrax Team, a small group of developers building open-source game tools, launchers, and utilities. Our focus is on:

  • Steam API tooling - bypass and compatibility layers for game preservation
  • Game launchers - fast, modern apps for managing and launching games
  • Controller APIs - input handling for games without native Steam Input
  • Workshop tools - mod and addon management made simple

Our Projects

Flagship Tools

Stars Language Issues

Custom Steam API .dll drop-in replacement that spoofs your game as Spacewar (or any free-to-play game or any games you own already) by default. Features plugin loader, SteamStub bypass, Remote Storage fallback, and broad Steamworks.NET / Facepunch compatibility.

C++ · Steam API · DLL · Spacewar

Stars Language Issues

The original Steam spoofer, makes Steam think you're playing Spacewar (App ID 480), enabling online multiplayer via the Spacewar lobby system. Uses a separate launcher executable to work. The foundation that started it all.

C++ · Steam · Bypass · Multiplayer

Stars Language Issues

A full rewrite and refactor of the old C# code for the very first version of uc-online but instead of loading the game's steam_api dlls, it goes straight for the steamclient dlls in your Steam installation path to truly achieve a universal fix like I originally intended it to be. It works as a separate launcher to the game once again, but this time it's easier to figure it out.

Launchers & Apps

Stars Language Release

A fast Electron desktop app for browsing, downloading, and launching games from the UC library. Features pause/resume downloads, auto-updates, game library management, and sync with the UC website.

TypeScript · Electron · React · Vite

Stars Language

Native launcher companion for UnionCrax.Direct. Handles game process launching and management on the C++ side for performance-critical operations.

C++ · Launcher · UC.Direct

Stars Language

Docker deployable private chat you can self host and modify to your hearts content. Uses Lanyard API to connect to your discord account to give you your avatar and show your status. Web browser and PWA based, has an Android port and can be ported to iOS too, desktop app and the server that communicates with the webpage and connects all of clients. Very low data usage so it works great for limited networks and metered connections.

Utilities & Extras

Language

Workshop mod & addon manager for games you "got". Browse, download, and install mods straight to any game's mod folder.

TypeScript · Electron · Mods

Language

Controller input API modeled after Steam Input - captures controller inputs through XInput / DInput / SDL2 / HID and translates them and remaps to custom outputs as well. Designed as a backend for frontends or games that don't use Steam from either using a Steam emu or not having Steam Input integrated.

C++ · XInput · DInput · SDL2

Language

Minimal launcher for ShadPS4-CLI written in C and compiled with TCC. Lightweight wrapper for running ROMs through the emulator without needing to use cmd with the arguments.

C · ShadPS4 · CLI · TCC

Language

HLA NoVR Mod Launcher without Steam AppID launch requirements — runs hlvr.exe directly with the necessary arguments, bypassing Steam's game launch gating for Half-Life: Alyx.
