@ -100,3 +101,8 @@ Any connection to Steam will be closed if they share a LoginID. You can specify
### Why doesn't my password containing special characters work? Do I have to specify the password on the command line?
If you pass the `-password` parameter with a password that contains special characters, you will need to escape the command appropriately for the shell you are using. You do not have to include the `-password` parameter on the command line as long as you include a `-username`. You will be prompted to enter your password interactively.
### I am getting error 401 or no manifest code returned for old manifest ids
Try logging in with a Steam account, this may happen when using anonymous account.
Steam allows developers to block downloading old manifests, in which case no manifest code is returned even when parameters appear correct.
