mine is on a seperate drive I hate putting things in program files 86 because they are much harder to delete when in there. find your desktop Icon for steam, right click it, then left click "go to file location" Should now be in steam folder, navigate from there "steamapps/common/Sniper Ghost Warrior 3/win_x64" The steamapi64.dll should be in there. I cut steamapi64.dll file and verify game files again, steam download new steamapi64.dll file but when I start sgw3, same error appears again I see a few post on this elsewhere, and I hope you don't have to go through this but sometimes it works. May need to uninstall steam then reinstall steam. That may cause you to have to redownload all the games. I also see where some people have this same problem while they are using steam beta. Steam beta seems to be the issue a possible cause, you should Opt out of steam beta if you are using it. I don't know what version of windows you are using but it may be setting the game to run in compatibility mode, if so you may need to change that setting. I would try Dank Weeb! !'s suggestion first as posted. Uninstalling steam and reinstalling steam may be your last option as this could cost a lot of time, and it's not guarenteed to work. I hope one of these suggestions do help. What anti-virus are you using? the reason why I got the error was because of my anti-virus auto sandboxing the game, give that a try  hey guys i got the same problem and i have done what u have suggested, reinstall steam/game disable antivirus run compatiblity mode still same issue. i am on windows 10 have done compatiblity with all windows i can.

You want to take the compatibility option off, If it was originally on compatibility for windows 8.1 that may be the issue. hey mates manged to fix it i think someone did say this but ya gotta get it out of contaiment from ur anti virus for me COMDO was putting it in a contained field Thought so I use the same one, Glad to have helped and enjoy :D Thanks to everybody, my problem is solved. My antivirus program Comodo, prevent to run sgw3, when I chance my antivirus options, I runned sgw3 properly I think its not the problem with steam client itsefl, if it was other games would be affected, and this is only game i have problem with. Its a long shot but probably problem is with file version in steam (steam_api64.dll). probably the file dont match with denuvo, and this is causing the problem. Sadly, we cannot do anything about it. isnt a problem in the steam client, the text / msgbox comes from the denuvo code.. same problem here. I only get generic answers from their support suggesting to "lower the settings/resolution" and "updating my drivers". Of course I tried those things before even contacting them. I even reinstalled steam -.- So much time lost already :( What bothers me most is that this game will be a good one for me, i like sneak/horror themes , but i cannot play .... Pissing me off like this in a weekend ;) Ostatnio edytowany przez: Czarny;6 maja 2017 o 15:18 To be sure, reinstalled C++ libraries and DX wont help either. Prey have those needed files inside game folder. Ostatnio edytowany przez: Czarny;6 maja 2017 o 16:08 Same problem here. I wrote on the Bethesda forum and only one answer was to reinstall steam client. I'm happy now, because game is running. My solution was unblocked prey.exe in my firewall COMODO. So if anyone has same error try my solution. I'm happy now, because game is running. My solution was unblocked prey.exe in my firewall COMODO. So if anyone has same error try my solution. Thank you, it works for me I'm happy now, because game is running. My solution was unblocked prey.exe in my firewall COMODO. So if anyone has same error try my solution. Sadly that not worked for me. Well, there is one solution I have yet to try. I have already gotten a refund though, and I'm just going to bite the sour apple and wait 5-6 months till the game get's patched up or whatever. T_T Enjoy your game, it looks really fun. T_T By The Gods i am so pissed on Comodo right now. It was Comodo problem. Go to Setting of this crap aplications and Containment there is Auto-Containment Tab. Disable this damn thing ... In my case everything works as intended... damn Comodo Auto Sandbox... Początkowo opublikowane przez : Yep, wouldn't you know. Game works for me now after repurchasing and then going into comodo dragon antivirus and "unblocking" the application. Sigh.... The game is awesome though! :D Glad this could help anyone ;) Sadly weekend of playing and sneaking is lost Początkowo opublikowane przez : Glad this could help anyone ;) Sadly weekend of playing and sneaking is lost Tell me about it.
