Title: AGS game & Steam_api.dll integration
Post by: Mehow on Sun 05/07/2015 21:17:38
Hello there,

I'm trying to figure out how to integrate (call) the steam_api.dll (delivered by Steam) file which is necessary in order to launch a game via Steam. Did anyone have an opportunity to do that?

Thanks :smiley:

I replied to your PMs about this, but to be clear, the steam_api.dll is the compiled DLL for the Steamworks API. Unless you're using Steamworks features (such as stats, achievements, leaderboards, etc.) then you shouldn't need to worry about steam_api.dll at all. By way of reference, some of Wadjet Eye Games' early games on Steam (prior to development of the AGSteam plugin) didn't include steam_api.dll at all. It simply wasn't necessary because they weren't using any of those features.
