Qt

Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework - some tools available for no charge from Valve utilize Qt.

Valve ships a modified version of Qt, primarily to allow interoperation with the rest of Source2:

• Valve-Modified Qt 5.15.2 for Win64 (Source 2 Workshop Tools since March 2021, Dark Mode is available on this version.)
  • Valve-Modified Qt 5.15.2 for Win64 - May 2023 Update (compatible with previous 5.15.2 binaries)
• Valve-Modified Qt 4.8.3 for Win64 (Source 2 Workshop Tools released before 2021)

To confirm the version of Qt being used, you can select "About Qt" from the Help menu in the Asset Browser or other tool windows.
