Compatibility
While rare, sometimes Steamworks SDK updates will break compatilibity with older GodotSteam versions. Any compatability breaks are noted below. Newer API files (dll, so, dylib) should still work for older versions.

|---|---|
| 1.62 or newer | 4.14 or newer |
| 1.61 | 4.12 to 4.13 |
| 1.60 | 4.6 to 4.11 |
| 1.59 | 4.6 to 4.8 |
| 1.58a or older | 4.5.4 or older |
Versions of GodotSteam that have compatibility breaks introduced.

Known Issues
- Steam overlay may not work when running your game from the editor if you are using Forward+ as the renderer unless you use auto-initialization from the Project Settings menu. Your exported project should work perfectly fine in the Steam client, however.
- When self-compiling, do not use MinGW as it will cause crashes.
