What is this ?

This is an old Windows-only library equivalent to steam_api.dll that's still used by some old games.

Purpose ?

Bypass initial/basic checks in old games.

Note

Note that it doesn't emulate all the required functionality at the moment, some functions are still missing.

How to use ?

Option 1:

  • Copy & paste this dll beside the game's .exe file
  • Copy steam_api.dll and steamclient.dll from the experimental build beside the game's .exe file
  • Generate the steam_interfaces.txt file
  • Run the game

Option 2:

  • Copy & paste this dll inside the folder steam_settings/load_dlls/
  • Copy steam_api.dll and steamclient.dll from the experimental build beside the game's .exe file

Option 3:

  • Copy the dll to a separate folder, ex: extra_dlls
