Need help with steamworks api

Closed
theprowolfpcgames

I can't get the api to load (I think), i use

SteamAPI_Init();

and get cmd output

Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 16777215
Steam_SetMinidumpSteamID:  Caching Steam ID:  76561198083837418 [API loaded no]

could someone tell me why this could be happening?

try to execute it in admin mode! And check if your firewall is blocking it! I advise to turn off all the security programs and then trying again if you are using java this may be caused because no signature is available!

steamworks is in c++ i don't know how to use wrappers so my game is in c++ not java so that cant be it and admin mode is the same as this so that is not it eater.

I did a quick google search and the popular solution is to

disable the overlay

Hope that helps :)
