# Steam Connect **Steam Connect allows AutoTrans to launch games through the Steam client instead of directly from the executable file.** #### Why is this needed? Some Steam games have DRM protection or require Steam to be running.\ These games will not start or may show errors if launched directly from the .exe file.\ Steam Connect solves this problem by launching the game through Steam. #### How to enable Steam Connect Navigate to: **Settings ➜ Modules ➜ AutoTrans ➜ Steam Connect** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
