Look through Steam's metadata files. There's probably something that records the last update time. Or something that can be mapped against steamdb.info to get the update time.

Then, during deployment, write a file containing the deployment time (and maybe some other info, such as included mods and packages).

On the next deployment (and maybe also when DTMM is started), read that file and check whether there was an update since. If that was the case, notify the user that they will have to reset things first.

The file is actually an .acf. Specifically, <steamapps>/appmanifest_1361210.acf:

"AppState"
{
	"appid"		"1361210"
	"universe"		"1"
	"name"		"Warhammer 40,000: Darktide"
	"StateFlags"		"4"
	"installdir"		"Warhammer 40,000 DARKTIDE"
	"LastUpdated"		"1677615368"
	"SizeOnDisk"		"45767763746"
	"StagingSize"		"0"
	"buildid"		"10655293"
	"LastOwner"		"76561198067280032"
	"AutoUpdateBehavior"		"0"
	"AllowOtherDownloadsWhileRunning"		"0"
	"ScheduledAutoUpdate"		"0"
	"FullValidateAfterNextUpdate"		"1"
	"InstalledDepots"
	{

		{
			"manifest"		"6269025584426892702"
			"size"		"45124115665"
		}

		{
			"manifest"		"3846999139056181491"
			"size"		"514170235"
		}
		"1361213"
		{
			"manifest"		"682261956615153626"
			"size"		"129477846"
		}
	}
	"InstallScripts"
	{
		"1361213"		"installers\\installscript.vdf"
	}
	"SharedDepots"
	{
		"228983"		"228980"
		"228988"		"228980"
		"229006"		"228980"
	}
	"UserConfig"
	{
		"language"		"english"
	}
	"MountedConfig"

	}
}

The file looks relatively simple to parse, as it's just quoted strings and maps.

The file is actually an `.acf`. Specifically, `<steamapps>/appmanifest_1361210.acf`: ```acf "AppState" { "appid" "1361210" "universe" "1" "name" "Warhammer 40,000: Darktide" "StateFlags" "4" "installdir" "Warhammer 40,000 DARKTIDE" "LastUpdated" "1677615368" "SizeOnDisk" "45767763746" "StagingSize" "0" "buildid" "10655293" "LastOwner" "76561198067280032" "AutoUpdateBehavior" "0" "AllowOtherDownloadsWhileRunning" "0" "ScheduledAutoUpdate" "0" "FullValidateAfterNextUpdate" "1" "InstalledDepots" { "1361211" { "manifest" "6269025584426892702" "size" "45124115665" } "1361212" { "manifest" "3846999139056181491" "size" "514170235" } "1361213" { "manifest" "682261956615153626" "size" "129477846" } } "InstallScripts" { "1361213" "installers\\installscript.vdf" } "SharedDepots" { "228983" "228980" "228988" "228980" "229006" "228980" } "UserConfig" { "language" "english" } "MountedConfig" { "language" "english" } } ``` The file looks relatively simple to parse, as it's just quoted strings and maps.

.acf seems to be the same format as .vdf: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/KeyValues

Parsers exist already: https://docs.rs/keyvalues-parser/latest/keyvalues_parser/
