dhirubhai Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I get an error while launching the game like this: steam_api.dll is missing. How to fix it? Any solutions please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boidster Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 You might need to re-install the Steam client. That file is not part of the 7D2D installation, so I don't think the usual "validate files" will work. Does the main Steam user interface work?

JCrook1028 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 No offense meant but it has to be asked. Are you playing a game you purchased or a pirated version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDNeon Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 https://steamcommunity.com/app/22380/discussions/0/648813576148197714/ Seems to be common enough and solved by running as admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unholyjoe Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 not 100% if you read the entire thread, some people still having issues. i didnt read anywhere in that thread where anybody trid to uninstall and reinstall steam. so try as @Boidster suggests and uninstall steam and reinstall it. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhirubhai Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Thanks for your suggestions but reinstalling didn't solve my problem. But ultimately, I found the solution that worked for me. I downloaded the steam_api.dll from this link: https://dlldownloads.com/steam_api-dll/ and replaced the older file with the newer one. Then, I rebooted the PC and then actually I don't have any problems till now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
