SteamAPI_init for the last month (SOLVED BY SEARCHING AGAIN)
Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2018 2:26 pm
Update: was feeling bad because no one responded in 5 days, which is unusual for this forum. So I though maybe I should do another search, this time in the bug reporting forum, like, the right way.
My solution Run FI:XP as administrator, error goes away.
I haven't been able to launch fi:XP for a few months. I had a bunch of new games from xmas, so I didn't care too much. But now I wanna fly, and can't.
I've tried everything I can find on the forums, uninstalled FI, and reinstalled. Set steam, steamvr, and xplane 11 to opt out of betas. Run hotfixes etc. Problem still comes up.
I see this error referenced in a lot of posts from last spring, but not many now. Is there something i'm missing?
full message:
Fatal Error
SteamAPI_Init() failed
Steam must be running to play this game (SteamAPI_Init() failed)
