The steam_api64.dll File is a DLL (Dynamic Link Library) System File provided by Microsoft for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and earlier Versions. These .dll Files contain various instructions that different pieces of software may need in order to run properly. If a .dll file, like the steam_api64.dll file, is missing, it may result in a variety of different error messages.

The steam_api64.dll missing error seems to be the only one that is bothering you, the quickest solution would be to download a new copy of the steam_api64.dll file and install it in the required directories. For the Download and more instructions, make sure to check out the installation instructions and download links below.

On rare occasions, the program is not recognizing the steam_api64.dll, even though it is installed correctly. In these cases, the installation of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package could help. If you are still getting the Missing Error, try installing it here.

As steam extends itself more and more and game creators use Steam as a publishing platform, local LAN support has become a rare breed amongst games. Furthermore, the games that are published through Steam tend to have a crippled LAN subsystem: even though the game features a local LAN mode, it is impossible to play the game without having an Internet connection because the game is rigged to refuse to work without having a connection to Steam. For instance, a game such as "Dead Island", when launched in LAN networking mode, will simply refuse to see any other games on the local network if the game cannot contact Steam - the game will not even announce or tell the user that it cannot find any local games because it cannot contact steam, leaving the user totally oblivious to why the game does not work as described.

The consequences are multiple, in such cases and mostly denote a shady practice on the behalf of the game producer. First and foremost, all games that are rigged in this manner have an extra Steam dependency, such that, even in legitimate circumstances, if an Internet connection is not available, the game will not work in LAN mode even if it is a purchased product. Next, even though Steam has become a giant, it is not entirely absurd that, at some point in time, Steam might just go away, in which case, all the games that have been published with a Steam dependency will simply not work anymore.

By far the best solution is to emulate Steam via software such as "SmartSteamEmu". Even if the game is pirated, the Steam dependency is rarely eliminated and forums are usually stuffed with cries for help on how to get LAN working.

SmartSteamEmu is software that is installed for every game with a Steam dependency and works by intercepting calls to Steam and then emulating the replies such that the game is convinced that it is connected to Steam. Even though SmartSteamEmu is not a Steam replacement, SmartSteamEmu successfully manages to unlock LAN mode for most games.

If a game is pirated, then the cracked files must be copied over but steam_api.dll, steam_api64.dll and steam_appid.txt must be originals. The reason for that is that games might include copy protection in the offline binaries themselves which is removed by the cracker group however, SmartSteamEmu requires the original non-cracked DLL files in order to be able to intercept the calls to Steam.

With that in mind, most game repacks offer the ability to install either the original version, or the cracked version or allow you to overwrite some files yourself. In such cases, go for the cracked version but extract the original steam_api.dll from the original version somehow. For instance, install the original version, backup steam_api.dll and steam_appid.txt, uninstall the game, install the cracked version and overwrite with the backed up steam_api.dll, steam_api64.dll and steam_appid.txt.

Once the game is installed and with the original Steam DLL files, extract the contents of SmartSteamEmu.zip directly inside the game folder next to the game executable. Now, open up SmartSteamEmu.ini in order to change two settings Target and StartIn. Target should be set to point to the game executable and StartIn must be set to the full path to the folder where the game executable resides in. Both these settings are documented in SmartSteamEmu.ini itself.

It may be helpful to additionally change SteamIdGeneration and ManualSteamId in orde to set a persistent albeit fake Steam ID for all games that you are playing. In order to achieve that, set SteamIdGeneration to Manual and generate a random number for ManualSteamId. When installing a different game, you would then use the same random number you generated for that game too.

Finally, to start the game and play, you will have to execute either SmartSteamLoader_x64 or SmartSteamLoader depending on your architecture (and the architecture that the game has been compiled for?) instead of using the game executable (or the shortcut that may have been created when the game was installed). It is of course possible to create a shortcut pointing to the loader executable and change the icon for a seamless experience.

If you launch a game and it claims that your profile cannot be saved, if the game does not seem to properly create any save games or if you seem to lose progress then you may need to just run SmartSteamLoader as an Administrator.

The main reason for this type of errors is that steam games are usually installed within the user profile where the user obviously has permissions to write however repack games tend to install to system folder (ie, Dead Island installing in C:\Games).

If the original steam DLLs and the file steam_appid.txt is not in the launch directory then the application may complain about a missing App ID. In such cases, make sure that you have the original steam DLL files!

ProxiFy allows the user to quickly create a proxy DLL that uses either 64 bit or 32 bit DLLs. It generated the necessary ASM code to make the DLL work in both architectures. It also doesn't make use of dumpbin to generate the exports for the DLL. So there are no additional steps than just selecting the DLL you want to make a proxy of.

I used to create my proxy DLLs using "wrappit" by Michael Chourdakis but found that it doesn't support 64 bit architecture DLLs and it was a bit slow for my taste in terms of how many steps were needed to create a DLL (sometimes, I would have to create several, and using dumpbin to generate the exports was a bit of an annoyance).

Once the DLL has been selected, you will receive a messagebox saying either "32 bit file" or "64 bit file". The only purpose of this messagebox is to let the user know what architecture of DLL they just created a proxy of. I found this somewhat useful, but you can remove it if you want in the source, it has no other purpose.

Once you have done that, add the .cpp file and the .def file to the project. Make sure to go into the linker settings and setting the .def file as the Module Definition File. You find this option under Properties -> Linker -> Input.

If you have a 64 bit DLL, a .asm file was created alongside the .cpp and .def files. Before you add this to the project, you should right click the project -> Build Dependencies -> Build Customizations... and then check ".masm". This will allow the .asm file to work correctly.

Now add the .asm file to the project as well. I'm not sure if the correct settings are set automatically, so to double check, right click it and go to properties. And under "General -> Item Type", make sure it's set to: Microsoft Macro Assembler.

As this is a proxy DLL, it needs the original DLL in the same folder. ProxiFy assumes that you will have the original DLL with an underscore after the name. So steam_api64.dll will instead become steam_api64_.dll.

This can be changed either in ProxiFy or you can just change the LoadLibrary call in the resulting CPP file.

The project does NOT work with DLLs that are using ordinals for their exports. This can be done but so far I have not had any problems not using ordinals for the exports. It's discouraged in general from what I can tell, so I haven't included it as I haven't needed it yet.
