How to fix the grey box problem

If you're reading this, that means you got this when trying to use AutoCreamAPI.

  1. Click cancel on the bottom right corner of the popup.
  2. In the main window, click on the box that I have highlighted in red.

  1. Delete the name that was already there, type in the correct name of your game, and click on the search icon next to the box you just typed in.

  1. If you typed in exactly the correct name, then it should get the DLC's automatically and you should see the DLC's pop up in the big box in the main window.

4a. If you got a popup that looks like this (click on the blue, remember?), then double click the one with the right title of your game. In special cases where the title is similar to two games, like with Plague Inc, MAKE SURE TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT GAME TITLE (for example, if you have Plague Inc: Evolved, choose Plague Inc: Evolved, NOT Plague Inc: The Cure) If you're unsure of which one to pick in a scenario like this, go to Steam and check the title of your game.

Why the hell does this happen?!?!?!?!?!?!

This happens because the AutoCreamAPI doesn't detect the game name using the game itself, it uses the name of the folder, which doesn't need to use the same name as the game itself, so sometimes it cannot automatically detect the game.
