COMPATIBILITY

ASF IZ C# APPLICASHUN DAT IZ RUNNIN ON .NET CORE PLATFORM. DIS MEANZ DAT ASF IZ NOT COMPILD DIRECTLY INTO MACHINE CODE DAT IZ RUNNIN ON UR CPU, BUT INTO CIL DAT REQUIREZ CIL-COMPATIBLE RUNTIME 4 EXECUTIN IT.

DIS APPROACH HAS GIGANTIC AMOUNT OV ADVANTAGEZ, AS CIL IZ PLATFORM-INDEPENDENT, WHICH IZ Y ASF CAN RUN NATIVELY ON LOTZ DA AVAILABLE OSEZ, ESPECIALLY WINDOWS, LINUX AN OS X. THAR IZ NOT ONLY NO EMULASHUN NEEDD, BUT ALSO SUPPORT 4 ALL PLATFORM-RELATD AN HARDWARE-RELATD OPTIMIZASHUNS, SUCH AS CPU SSE INSTRUCSHUNS. THX 2 DAT, ASF CAN ACHIEVE SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE AN OPTIMIZASHUN, WHILE STILL OFFERIN PERFIK COMPATIBILITY AN RELIABILITY.

DIS ALSO MEANZ DAT ASF HAS NO SPECIFIC OS REQUIREMENT, CUZ IT REQUIREZ WERKIN RUNTIME ON DAT OS AN NOT OS ITSELF. AS LONG AS DAT RUNTIME IZ EXECUTIN ASF CODE PROPERLY, IT DOEZ NOT MATTR WHETHR UNDERLYIN OS IZ WINDOWS, LINUX, OS X, BSD, SONY PLAYSTASHUN 4, NINTENDO WII OR UR TOASTR - AS LONG AS THAR IZ .NET CORE 4 IT, THAR IZ ASF 4 IT.

HOWEVR, REGARDLES OV WER U RUN ASF, U MUST ENSURE DAT UR TARGET PLATFORM HAS .NET CORE PREREQUIZIETS INSTALLD. DOSE R LOW-LEVEL LIBRARIEZ REQUIRD 4 PROPR RUNTIME FUNCSHUNALITY AN ABSOLUTELY CORE 4 ASF 2 WERK IN DA FURST PLACE. VRY LIKELY U CAN HAS SUM OV THEM (OR EVEN ALL) ALREADY INSTALLD.

MULTIPLE INSTANCEZ

ASF IZ COMPATIBLE WIF RUNNIN MULTIPLE INSTANCEZ OV TEH PROCES ON TEH SAME MACHINE. TEH INSTANCEZ CAN BE COMPLETELY STANDALONE OR DERIVD FRUM TEH SAME BINARY LOCASHUN (IN WHICH CASE, U WANTS 2 RUN THEM WIF DIFFERENT --path COMMAND-LINE ARGUMENT).

WHEN RUNNIN MULTIPLE INSTANCEZ FRUM TEH SAME BINARY, KEEP IN MIND DAT U SHUD TYPICALLY DISABLE AUTO-UPDATEZ IN ALL OV THEIR CONFIGS, AS THAR IZ NO SYNCHRONIZASHUN TWEEN THEM IN REGARDZ 2 AUTO-UPDATEZ. IF UD LIEK 2 KEEP HAVIN AUTO-UPDATEZ ENABLD, WE RECOMMEND STANDALONE INSTANCEZ, BUT U CAN STILL MAK UPDATEZ WERK, AS LONG AS U CAN ENSURE DAT ALL OTHR ASF INSTANCEZ R CLOSD.

ASF WILL DO ITZ BEST 2 MAINTAIN MINIMUM AMOUNT OV OS-WIDE, CROS-PROCES COMMUNICASHUN WIF OTHR ASF INSTANCEZ. DIS INCLUDEZ ASF CHECKIN ITZ CONFIGURASHUN DIRECTORY AGAINST OTHR INSTANCEZ, AS WELL AS SHARIN CORE PROCES-WIDE LIMITERS CONFIGURD WIF *LimiterDelay GLOBAL CONFIG PROPERTIEZ, ENSURIN DAT RUNNIN MULTIPLE ASF INSTANCEZ WILL NOT CAUSE POSIBILITY 2 RUN INTO RATE-LIMITIN ISSUE. IN REGARDZ 2 TECHNICAL ASPECTS, ALL PLATFORMS USE R DEDICATD MECHANISM OV CUSTOM ASF FILE-BASD LOCKZ CREATD IN TEMPORARY DIRECTORY, WHICH IZ C:\Users\<YourUser>\AppData\Local\Temp\ASF ON WINDOWS, AN /tmp/ASF ON UNIX.

IZ NOT REQUIRD 4 RUNNIN ASF INSTANCEZ 2 SHARE TEH SAME *LimiterDelay PROPERTIEZ, THEY CAN USE DIFFERENT VALUEZ, AS EACH ASF WILL ADD ITZ OWN CONFIGURD DELAY 2 TEH RELEASE TIEM AFTR ACQUIRIN TEH LOCK. IF TEH CONFIGURD *LimiterDelay IZ SET 2 0, ASF INSTANCE WILL ENTIRELY SKIP WAITIN 4 DA LOCK OV GIVEN RESOURCE DAT IZ SHARD WIF OTHR INSTANCEZ (DAT CUD POTENTIALLY STILL MAINTAIN SHARD LOCK WIF EACH OTHR). WHEN SET 2 ANY OTHR VALUE, ASF WILL PROPERLY SYNCHRONIZE WIF OTHR ASF INSTANCEZ AN WAIT 4 ITZ TURN, DEN RELEASE TEH LOCK AFTR CONFIGURD DELAY, ALLOWIN OTHR INSTANCEZ 2 CONTINUE.

ASF TAKEZ INTO AKOWNT WebProxy SETTIN WHEN DECIDIN BOUT SHARD SCOPE, WHICH MEANZ DAT 2 ASF INSTANCEZ USIN DIFFERENT WebProxy CONFIGURASHUNS WILL NOT SHARE THEIR LIMITERS WIF EACH OTHR. DIS AR TEH IMPLEMENTD IN ORDR 2 ALLOW WebProxy SETUPS 2 OPERATE WITHOUT EXCESIV DELAYS, AS EXPECTD FRUM DIFFERENT NETWORK INTERFACEZ. DIS SHUD BE GUD ENOUGH 4 MAJORITY OV USE CASEZ, HOWEVR, IF U HAS SPECIFIC CUSTOM SETUP IN WHICH URE E.G. ROUTIN REQUESTS YOURSELF IN DIFFERENT WAI, U CAN SPECIFY NETWORK GROUP YOURSELF THRU --network-group COMMAND-LINE ARGUMENT, WHICH WILL ALLOW U 2 DECLARE ASF GROUP DAT WILL BE SYNCHRONIZD WIF DIS INSTANCE. KEEP IN MIND DAT CUSTOM NETWORK GROUPS R USD EXCLUSIVELY, WHICH MEANZ DAT ASF WILL NO LONGR USE WebProxy 4 DETERMININ TEH RITE GROUP, AS URE IN CHARGE OV GROUPIN IN DIS CASE.

ASF PACKAGIN

ASF COMEZ IN 2 MAIN FLAVOURS - GENERIC PACKAGE AN OS-SPECIFIC. FUNCSHUNALITY-WIZE BOTH PACKAGEZ R EGSAKTLY TEH SAME, THEYRE BOTH ALSO CAPABLE OV AUTOMATICALLY UPDATIN THEMSELVEZ. TEH ONLY DIFFERENCE TWEEN THEM IZ WHETHR OR NOT ASF GENERIC PACKAGE ALSO COMEZ WIF OS-SPECIFIC RUNTIME 2 POWR IT.

GENERIC

GENERIC PACKAGE IZ PLATFORM-AGNOSTIC BUILD DAT DOESNT INCLUDE ANY MACHINE-SPECIFIC CODE. DIS SETUP REQUIREZ FRUM U 2 HAS .NET CORE RUNTIME ALREADY INSTALLD ON UR OS IN APPROPRIATE VERSHUN. WE ALL KNOE HOW TROUBLESOME IT 2 KEEP DEPENDENCIEZ UP-2-DATE, THEREFORE DIS PACKAGE IZ HER MAINLY 4 PEEPS DAT ALREADY USE .NET CORE AN DOAN WANTS 2 DUPLICATE THEIR RUNTIME SOLELY 4 ASF IF THEY CAN MAK USE OV WUT THEY HAS INSTALLD ALREADY. GENERIC PACKAGE ALSO ALLOWS U 2 RUN ASF ANYWHERE WER U CAN OBTAIN WERKIN IMPLEMENTASHUN OV .NET CORE RUNTIME, REGARDLES IF THAR EXISTS OS-SPECIFIC ASF BUILD 4 IT, OR NOT.

IZ NOT RECOMMENDD 2 USE GENERIC FLAVR IF URE CASUAL OR EVEN ADVANCD USR DAT JUS WANTS 2 MAK ASF WERK AN NOT DIG INTO .NET CORE TECHNICAL DETAILS. IN OTHR WERDZ - IF U KNOE WUT DIS AR TEH, U CAN USE IT, OTHERWIZE IZ MUTCH BETTR 2 USE OS-SPECIFIC PACKAGE EXPLAIND BELOW.

.NET FRAMEWORK PACKAGE

IN ADDISHUN 2 GENERIC PACKAGE MENSHUND ABOOV, THAR IZ ALSO generic-netf PACKAGE WHICH IZ BUILT ON TOP OV .NET FRAMEWORK (AN NOT .NET CORE). DIS PACKAGE IZ LEGACY VARIANT DAT PROVIDEZ MISIN COMPATIBILITY KNOWN FRUM ASF V2 TIEMS, AN CAN BE RUN E.G. WIF MONO, WHILE .NET CORE generic PACKAGE CANT AS OV TODAI.

IN GENERAL U SHUD AVOID DIS PACKAGE AS MUTCH AS POSIBLE, AS MAJORITY OV OPERATIN SISTEMS AN SETUPS R PERFECTLY (AN MUTCH BETTR) SUPPORTD WIF generic PACKAGE MENSHUND ABOOV. IN FACT, DIS PACKAGE MAKEZ SENSE 2 BE USD ONLY ON PLATFORMS DAT LACK WERKIN .NET CORE RUNTIME, WHILE HAVIN WERKIN MONO IMPLEMENTASHUN. EXAMPLEZ OV SUCH PLATFORMS INCLUDE linux-x86 (32-BIT I386/I686 LINUX), AS WELL AS linux-armel (ARMV6 BOARDZ FINDZ E.G. IN RASPBERRY PI 0 & 1), ALL OV WHICH DO NOT HAS OFFISHUL WERKIN .NET CORE RUNTIME AS OV TODAI.

AS TEH TIEM GOEZ ON WIF MOAR PLATFORMS BEAN SUPPORTD BY .NET CORE AN LES COMPATIBILITY TWEEN .NET FRAMEWORK AN .NET CORE, generic-netf PACKAGE WILL BE ENTIRELY REPLACD WIF generic WAN IN DA FUCHUR. PLZ REFRAIN FRUM USIN IT IF U CAN USE ANY .NET CORE PACKAGE INSTEAD, AS generic-netf IZ MISIN LOT OV FUNCSHUNALITY AN COMPATIBILITY COMPARD 2 .NET CORE VERSHUNS, AN ITLL BE ONLY LES FUNCSHUNAL AS TEH TIEM GOEZ ON. WE OFFR SUPPORT 4 DIS PACKAGE ONLY ON MACHINEZ DAT CANT USE generic VARIANT ABOOV (E.G. linux-x86), AN ONLY WIF UP-2-DATE RUNTIME (E.G. LATEST MONO).

OS-specific

OS-SPECIFIC PACKAGE, APART FRUM MANAGD CODE INCLUDD IN GENERIC PACKAGE, ALSO INCLUDEZ NATIV CODE 4 GIVEN PLATFORM. IN OTHR WERDZ, OS-SPECIFIC PACKAGE ALREADY INCLUDEZ PROPR .NET CORE RUNTIME INSIDE, WHICH ALLOWS U 2 ENTIRELY SKIP TEH WHOLE INSTALLASHUN MES AN JUS LAUNCH ASF DIRECTLY. OS-SPECIFIC PACKAGE, AS U CAN GUES FRUM TEH NAYM, IZ OS-SPECIFIC AN EVRY OS REQUIREZ ITZ OWN VERSHUN - 4 EXAMPLE WINDOWS REQUIREZ PE32+ ArchiSteamFarm.exe BINARY WHILE LINUX WERKZ WIF UNIX ELF ArchiSteamFarm BINARY. AS U CUD KNOE, DOSE 2 TYPEZ R NOT COMPATIBLE WIF EACH OTHR.

ASF IZ CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN FOLLOWIN OS-SPECIFIC VARIANTS:

win-x64 WERKZ ON 64-BIT WINDOWS OSEZ. DIS INCLUDEZ WINDOWS 7 (SP1+), 8.1, 10, SERVR 2012 R2, 2016, AS WELL AS FUCHUR VERSHUNS.
linux-arm WERKZ ON 32-BIT ARM-BASD (ARMV7+) GNU/LINUX OSEZ. DIS INCLUDEZ PLATFORMS SUCH AS RASPBERRY PI 2 (AN NEWR) WIF ALL GNU/LINUX OSEZ AVAILABLE 4 THEM (SUCH AS RASPBIAN), IN CURRENT AN FUCHUR VERSHUNS. DIS VARIANT WILL NOT WERK WIF OLDR ARM ARCHITECTUREZ, SUCH AS ARMV6 FINDZ IN RASPBERRY PI 0 & 1, IT WILL ALSO NOT WERK WIF OSEZ DAT DO NOT IMPLEMENT REQUIRD GNU/LINUX ENVIRONMENT (SUCH AS ANDROID).
linux-arm64 WERKZ ON 64-BIT ARM-BASD (ARMV8+) GNU/LINUX OSEZ. DIS INCLUDEZ PLATFORMS SUCH AS RASPBERRY PI 3 (AN NEWR) WIF ALL AARCH64 GNU/LINUX OSEZ AVAILABLE 4 THEM (SUCH AS DEBIAN), IN CURRENT AN FUCHUR VERSHUNS. DIS VARIANT WILL NOT WERK WIF 32-BIT OSEZ DAT DO NOT HAS REQUIRD 64-BIT LIBRARIEZ AVAILABLE (SUCH AS RASPBIAN), IT WILL ALSO NOT WERK WIF OSEZ DAT DO NOT IMPLEMENT REQUIRD GNU/LINUX ENVIRONMENT (SUCH AS ANDROID).
linux-x64 WERKZ ON 64-BIT GNU/LINUX OSEZ. DIS INCLUDEZ ALPINE, SENTOS/FEDORA/RHEL, DEBIAN/UBUNTU/LINUX MINT, OPENSUSE/SLEZ AN LOTZ DA OTHR ONEZ, INCLUDIN THEIR DERIVATIVEZ, IN CURRENT AN FUCHUR VERSHUNS.
osx-x64 WERKZ ON 64-BIT OS X OSEZ. DIS INCLUDEZ 10.13, AS WELL AS FUCHUR VERSHUNS.

OV COURSE, EVEN IF U DOAN HAS OS-SPECIFIC PACKAGE AVAILABLE 4 UR OS-ARCHITECCHUR COMBINASHUN, U CAN ALWAYS INSTALL APPROPRIATE .NET CORE RUNTIME YOURSELF AN RUN GENERIC ASF FLAVR, WHICH IZ ALSO TEH MAIN REASON Y IT EXISTS IN DA FURST PLACE. GENERIC ASF BUILD IZ PLATFORM-AGNOSTIC AN WILL RUN ON ANY PLATFORM DAT HAS WERKIN .NET CORE RUNTIME. DIS AR TEH IMPORTANT 2 NOWT - ASF REQUIREZ .NET CORE RUNTIME, NOT SUM SPECIFIC OS OR ARCHITECCHUR. 4 EXAMPLE, IF URE RUNNIN 32-BIT WINDOWS DEN DESPITE OV NO DEDICATD win-x86 ASF VERSHUN, U CAN STILL INSTALL .NET CORE SDK IN win-x86 VERSHUN AN RUN GENERIC ASF JUS FINE. WE SIMPLY CANT TARGET EVRY OS-ARCHITECCHUR COMBINASHUN DAT EXISTS AN IZ USD BY SOMEBODY, SO WE HAS 2 DRAW LINE SOMEWHERE. X86 IZ GUD EXAMPLE OV DAT LINE, AS IZ OBSOLETE ARCHITECCHUR SINCE AT LEAST 2004.

RUNTIME REQUIREMENTS

IF URE USIN OS-SPECIFIC PACKAGE DEN U DOAN NED 2 WORRY BOUT RUNTIME REQUIREMENTS, CUZ ASF ALWAYS SHIPS WIF REQUIRD AN UP-2-DATE RUNTIME DAT WILL WERK PROPERLY AS LONG AS U HAS .NET CORE PREREQUIZIETS INSTALLD AN UP-2-DATE. IN OTHR WERDZ, U DOAN NED 2 INSTALL .NET CORE RUNTIME OR SDK, AS OS-SPECIFIC BUILDZ REQUIRE ONLY NATIV OS DEPENDENCIEZ (PREREQUIZIETS) AN NOTHIN ELSE.

HOWEVR, IF URE TRYIN 2 RUN GENERIC ASF PACKAGE DEN U MUST ENSURE DAT UR .NET CORE RUNTIME SUPPORTS PLATFORM REQUIRD BY ASF.

ASF AS PROGRAM IZ TARGETIN .NET 5.0 (net5.0) RITE NAO, BUT IT CUD TARGET NEWR PLATFORM IN DA FUCHUR. net5.0 IZ SUPPORTD SINCE 5.0.100 SDK (5.0.0 RUNTIME), ALTHOUGH ASF IZ CONFIGURD 2 TARGET LATEST RUNTIME AT TEH MOMENT OV COMPILASHUN, SO U SHUD ENSURE DAT U HAS LATEST SDK (OR AT LEAST RUNTIME) AVAILABLE 4 UR MACHINE. GENERIC ASF VARIANT CUD REFUSE 2 LAUNCH IF UR RUNTIME IZ OLDR THAN TEH MINIMUM (TARGET) WAN KNOWN DURIN COMPILASHUN.

IF IN DOUBT, CHECK WUT R CONTINUOUS INTEGRASHUN USEZ 4 COMPILIN AN DEPLOYIN ASF RELEASEZ ON GITHUB. U CAN FIND dotnet --info OUTPUT ON TOP OV EACH BUILD.
