Hi, if the game is played not on Steam, will the steam achievements affect the game in any ways? thanks

Hi, you will need to disable Steam API and steam's custom actions somehow. I believe there will be errors when exporting a build if Steam API is still there.

Have to make scripts that do it depending on platform, or maybe can copy the project and delete any Steam related assets.

That's what I learned but haven't really got past these errors yet

I am referring about built games with steam api in it. If i played it by itself, there's no errors but I am curious if there's any problem with including it for non-steam platforms.
