getItemUpdateProgress() returns incorrect value about godotsteam HOT 6 CLOSED

I figured it out.

PreparingContent (value 2) probably means calculating checksums of the files. It then asks Steamworks servers if these files are already hosted. If they are, then there's no point in uploading them.

I was testing with the same files over and over resulting in no uploads. My files are relatively small and upload speed pretty fast so I didn't really notice.

Uploading new files returns values 2 and 3 as expected.

Hey there! I had to look at the code to be sure. The function just passes back what Steam gives us and everything seems to match up. I think 'processed' containing data in status 2 makes sense though, it is reading and processing files. If it is incorrect, that might be something with Steam.

This page https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/api/ISteamUGC#GetItemUpdateProgress says "Returns the current number of bytes uploaded." and "Returns the total number of bytes that will be uploaded." so it's probably a Steam issue.

Ah. Yeah, in the header files they are listed as punBytesProcessed and punBytesTotal and pass them along as 'processed' and 'total'. So I guess this is just what Steam is saying, even if it doesn't match up; that is really weird though. They probably should be in 3 actually according to their docs.

EDIT: If this is intended, I should probably make a note of it in our docs.

OK, I made mention of this on the next docs update. Saying that processed and total may only contain data on status 2 though one might expect it on status 3. I'm not sure why that is but you are correct. I will close this for now but feel free to update it with any additional information or if your tests yield different results.

Ayyy! Thank you for enlightening us about this! Good information for the docs.
