Steam Api Init Failed

S_API bool S_CALLTYPE SteamAPI_Init();Initializes the Steamworks API. See for additional information. Returns: bool true indicates that all required interfaces have been acquired and are accessible. False indicates one of the following conditions: • The Steam client isn't running. A running Steam client is required to provide implementations of the various Steamworks interfaces. • The Steam client couldn't determine the App ID of game. If you're running your application from the executable or debugger directly then you must have a steam_appid.txt in your game directory next to the executable, with your app ID in it and nothing else.

Steam will look for this file in the current working directory. If you are running your executable from a different directory you may need to relocate the steam_appid.txt file. • Your application is not running under the same OS user context as the Steam client, such as a different user or administration access level. • Ensure that you own a license for the App ID on the currently active Steam account. Your game must show up in your Steam library.

Submitted 5 months ago by JackSpent. I get this error message 'Steam api init failed!' When I try to run. I've tried restarting Steam, and my PC. Has something to do with steam_api.dll, but haven't figured out yet how to fix it. I deleted the file and did a repair through steam, but no luck. If you resolve it please post the solution here.

• Your App ID is not completely set up, i.e. In Release State: Unavailable, or it's missing default packages. S_API bool S_CALLTYPE SteamAPI_RestartAppIfNecessary( uint32 unOwnAppID ); Name Type Description unOwnAppID uint32 The App ID of this title. Checks if your executable was launched through Steam and relaunches it through Steam if it wasn't.

See for additional information. Returns: bool If this returns true then it starts the Steam client if required and launches your game again through it, and you should quit your process as soon as possible. This effectively runs steam://run/ so it may not relaunch the exact executable that called it, as it will always relaunch from the version installed in your Steam library folder.

If it returns false, then your game was launched by the Steam client and no action needs to be taken. One exception is if a steam_appid.txt file is present then this will return false regardless. This allows you to develop and test without launching your game through the Steam client. Make sure to remove the steam_appid.txt file when uploading the game to your Steam depot!

S_API void S_CALLTYPE SteamAPI_RunCallbacks();Dispatches callbacks and call results to all of the registered listeners. It's best to call this at >10Hz, the more time between calls, the more potential latency between receiving events or results from the Steamworks API. Most games call this once per render-frame. All registered listener functions will be invoked during this call, in the callers thread context.

SteamAPI_RunCallbacks is safe to call from multiple threads simultaneously, but if you choose to do this, callback code could be executed on any thread. One alternative is to call SteamAPI_RunCallbacks from the main thread only, and call regularly on other threads. S_API void S_CALLTYPE SteamAPI_WriteMiniDump( uint32 uStructuredExceptionCode, void* pvExceptionInfo, uint32 uBuildID ); Name Type Description uStructuredExceptionCode uint32 The structured exception code.

PvExceptionInfo void* The EXCEPTION_POINTERS containing the actual exception information. UBuildID uint32 A Build ID to track what version of the app submitted this minidump. This is not the same as a Steam build ID and is used only for crash reporting. Writes and uploads a minidump to report crashes. See for more information.

You can add an optional comment by calling before you call this function.

I'm on a Win 7 machine. Keep that in mind. So I tried running steam as administrator and that would get me past the 'steam api init failed' error message, but then the game would hang on the loading screen. The fix required me to switch over to my admin account, and run steam from that, and then start the game there. No idea why that worked, I'm assuming that it's a user issue. It wants administrative access to certain processes, but under my normal user account, it wasn't working.::shrug:: Let me know if it worked for you.
