"No Internet Connection" Fix (Manifest Updater)
Getting the "No Internet Connection" erro while trying to download/update a game? This script force updates your manifests so the download starts working instantly without having to rely on steamtools servers to fetch them for you.

Run the above in PowerShell and follow the prompts.
Modes
When you run the script, you'll be asked to pick a mode:
| Mode | API Key Required | How it works |
|---|---|---|
Github Mirror | No | GitHub mirror only. Fails if a manifest isn't there. |
Morrenus | Yes (Morrenus) | Tries GitHub first, falls back to Morrenus on 404. |
ManifestHub | Yes (ManifestHub) | Tries GitHub first, falls back to ManifestHub on 404. |
If you're unsure which to pick, try option 1 first and if depots come up as missing try option 2 or 3. I reccomend option 2 (morrenus) — it has the best coverage and a free API key.
Getting an API Key
Both keys are free.
- Morrenus
- ManifestHub
- Go to manifest.morrenus.xyz and log in with Discord
- Generate your key at manifest.morrenus.xyz/api-keys/user
- Copy the key and save it somewhere. This key will not be shown again so if you lose it you must generate a new one.
- Go to manifesthub1.filegear-sg.me, complete the captcha and "generate API key"
- Generate and copy your API key from the panel
Skip the Prompts (Advanced)
Set these environment variables before running to automate the whole thing:
Example:
$env:MANIFEST_MODE = "github+morrenus"
$env:MORRENUS_API_KEY = "your morrenus api key here"
$env:APP_ID = "1091500"
irm "https://luatools.vercel.app/manifests.ps1" | iex
No prompts — it runs, downloads, and shows a summary.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
$env:MANIFEST_MODE | github / github+morrenus / github+manifesthub |
$env:MORRENUS_API_KEY | Your Morrenus key (smm_...) |
$env:MH_API_KEY | Your ManifestHub key |
$env:APP_ID | Steam App ID to process (e.g. 1091500) |
What It Does
- Reads your Steam install path from the registry
- Reads
Steam/config/stplug-in/<AppId>.luafor depot IDs - Fetches manifest IDs from the SteamCMD API
- For each depot — skips if already downloaded, tries GitHub first, falls back if needed
- Downloads manifests to
Steam/depotcache/ - Shows a summary, then asks if you want to process another game
When it's done you'll see:
What would you like to do next?
1. Process another AppID
2. Done! (close PowerShell)
Pick 1 to run another game without re-entering your key.
