If what I just sent doesn't work let me know. I think it might have something to do with renaming and then naming it steam_api.dll again.
Sorry, So here's exactly what I did. I renamed it steam_.dll then it stoped running the game even the launcher. I restarted my computer and then named it steam_api.dll and it worked.
YOU'RE A HERO! IT WORKED IT ACTUALLY WORKED IT'S FIXED THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! (I have over 300 hours now)
Another question at this point I am seriously considering just factory resetting my computer. Have any of you tried this?
I will try this now thanks.
Wait you have the same issue? Dang I thought I was the only one because this is so odd. I got the game to stop running randomly but I downloaded it again and same issue continues to run. I am honestly surprised a steam game could even do this.
Everytime I restart my PC the game is still left running when it's turned back on as the launcher is always open. I checked the workarounds and either no of them apply as the launcher is always running or they don't work.
See I would try that but I cannot even close the game so it will not let me delete the files. The game is always running and I cant even stop it from task manager as seen in the video.
