steam api dll missing skyrim creation kit

Just dumped the Scripts.rar in my data folder) or anything will kick off a no entry point error in the steam_api.dll.

Strange, but it seems like any missing folders like the Data/Scripts/Source (which steam didn't install by default when I re-acquired the CK from Steam. booted back into windows, fired off the CK and lo and behold. It was probably late and the coffee gave out hours earlier, but, when i extracted the folders then clicked on the source file, it seemed like it was trying to reaccess the archive instead of the individual script file - a strange symbolic link somewhere maybe?īooting into trusty Linux I unrar-ed the scripts.rar and copied those folders manually to Skyrim/Data/Scripts. Trying to use 7z to open the archive and manually copy them out didn't seem to work well either. It was like the Steam installer for the CK was broken. Now if I remember correctly, the Steam CK installer would download and install the script source automatically in the Dada/Scripts/Source folder. I'd noticed the scripts.rar was installed in the Skyrim/Data folder when I reinstalled The Creation Kit through steam. Quick copy from my backup is all that was required.ģ) Even considered there were multiple copies of steam_app.dll on this pc somewhere and Steam was trying to load an out of date one first (finding that in the search list first before the one located in the Skyrim folder). I'd backed up the Skyrim folder, and keep my mods in a folder seperate from the Steam install folders using Mod Manager so no loss there. I just encountered this one also, and went through the following:ġ) Reinstall steam, which didn't solve the issue.Ģ) Try to Delete the locale Tool Content which also deleted Skyrim (nice one from Valve, Lol!).
