When I start SFD this appears on the screen:


Make sure your game is up-to-date, started correctly and all files are intact.

LoadDLL failed.

Looks like the steam_api.dll file has failed to load, no idea why, you can try troubleshooting it using the Steam forums, but that's all I can really help you with.

See https://steamcommunity.com/app/855860/d ... 294911931/
Error 126 when loading the steam_api.dll seem to be happening to a few individuals.

You can check your windows log files after load errors related to launching the game and see if it can give you a hint to what might be the cause. A driver that's out of date or something. This is just one of the first links that pops up in my search engine: https://www.howtoguides.org/event-viewe ... and-events

Some have solved "LoadLibrary error: 126" in other games by verifying driver installations or even reinstalling drivers. But I don't know the exact nature of your specific 126 error.

Is there a possibility that my AntiVirus messed the game while it was downloading? Other games work though.
