How To Fix Steam api dll Is Missing [Tutorial]

[Music] hello everyone how are you doing this is mdte here another quick tutorial today I'm going to show you guys how to fix if you're getting an error saying the steamcore api.dll is missing error on your Windows computer so this is going to be a pretty straightforward tutorial and we're going to just jump right into it I should not there will be a slightly differing solution if you're running a 64-bit operating system versus a 32-bit operating system because most people are going to be using a 64-bit computer in today's day and age that is the one we're going to be pretty much following through in this tutorial but I will show you guys the 32bit fix as well I no that seems to be a big problem with these kind of videos and I just wanted to address both of them in this one so we're going to jump right into it and we're going to start by opening up a web browser it doesn't matter which one I'm going to open up Edge because it's most convenient because it's right on my taskbar and into Google I'm going to type in steamcore api.dll download and I'm going to hit enter and one of the best matches that comes up should have a www.d l/ files.com you want to download it from this site if you want to follow along with this tutorial so I'm going to select this and now I'm going to scroll down on this page I'm not going to select this client demo button I'm going to scroll down until we get to the available versions area please not in this tutorial everything is free you don't have to pay for anything you don't have to download any installers to get this program it's just going to download the zip file so if you're downloading any weird executables um you're downloading the wrong file I'm just going to say that right now so we can see we have a 32bit version available and that happens to be the only one that's currently available for download and that's fine even if you're running a 64-bit version of Windows you can still use the 32bit tll file so I'm going to select the first one here and I'm going to select download it doesn't matter if you're running a 32 or 64-bit version of Windows at this time the download will be the same for both of you guys so it's going to ask what you want to do with this file I'm going to save the file and then I'm going to open the folder so now at this point I'm going to minimize out of our browser there's a few other files in here from other tutorials I've done so I'm just going to delete them here so we have only the download we just downloaded should say steamcore API you want to double click on it and there we go we have the dll file right here so what we have have to do now is head over to the start menu and left click to open it up and now you want to type in file explore best match it comes up should say file explor right above desktop app on Windows 10 Windows 7 and Windows 8 should just say file explore you want to left click to open that up and now you want to left click on The View tab on the file explorer window so it should be the fourth tab over and then you want to left click on this options area on the far right side now in the folder options window you want to left click on The View Tab and then underneath hidden files and folders you want to make sure the show hidden files folders and drives is selected so if this circle is filled in next to it you don't have to do anything however if it's currently said to don't show hidden files and folders and drives like that you want to switch it over to show hidden files folders and drives and save the change by clicking on apply and okay to save that change once you've done that now we can left click on this PC button still underneath the file explorer window we still have the steam API folder over here I haven't closed out of that by the way but like I said under file explorer we're going to go underneath this PC and then I'm going to go underneath my local disk or you guys should go underneath whichever disc the program files and everything else is installed on basically whichever Drive Windows is installed on most people will be the C drive some will have a d Drive some might be using an external drive that has windows installed on it I mean it really depends but most people should be the local dis so I'm going to double click to open that up and now I'm going to go underneath the windows folder and now depending on what version of Windows you're running is very important if you're running a 64-bit operating system you want to scroll down until you get to system 32 if you're using a 32-bit operating system you want to look for something that says CIS wow 64 so syswow64 w w and you want to double click on the folder so we are assuming most of you guys are going to be using the 64-bit version of Windows so we're going to model it for that version so now in our downloads folder we have this steam API there's a file that says dll type is an application extension we want to drag and drop it into the system 32 folder over here so I'm just going to just pick it up and drag it over it should say copy the system 32 you do not want to drop it into one of these folders you want to kind of put it off to the side and then you can see well I'm still holding down the left Mouse pointer it says copy to system 32 that is correct and then once you have confirmed that you can release your mouse it'll say you need to provide administrator permission to copy to this folder left click on the continue button and it will take a moment not too long and now at this point I'd recommend closing out a both of these windows and any other web browsers or applications you may have opened restart your computer and your problem should have been resolved this point so I do hope this brief tutorial was able to help you guys out and it's always thank you for watching and I will catch you in the next tutorial goodbye
