That I cannot run the game without it leaves me speechless. Still haven't heard back from support and I don't suppose I will anytime soon given the woes of The Witcher 3, Galaxy and the state of the forums.Īs for it being something "not out of the ordinary" I disagree strongly with that statement given the file is digitally signed by Valve and being released by their competitor (GOG). Given that it does not interfere with normal execution, and it does not actually kick in any DRM stuff, they probably didn't bother to recompile a specific executable for GOGįaster way to check out: rename the file and see if the game reports a missing dependency on startup "The program can't start because steam_api.dll is missing from your computer" if the game in question has Steamworks integration, they might have compiled the exe in a fashion that requires the DLL to be in place, even if the actual function are never invoked. Alternatively, some programs, notably PC games, require that the DLL file is placed in the game/application installation folder.įor detailed installation instructions, see our FAQ.Antaniserse: Haven't checked mine, but it is not something completely out of the ordinary. In the vast majority of cases, the solution is to properly reinstall steam_api64.dll on your PC, to the Windows system folder. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vender for support. steam_api64.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. The code execution cannot proceed because steam_api64.dll was not found.
