How do I use this?

Check the example project here or follow the steps below.

Installation

First, install the base package SteamworksSharp and SteamworksSharp.Native.

If you are developing for a x86 platform (most likely not), install;

• SteamworksSharp.Native.Windows_x86
• SteamworksSharp.Native.Linux_x86
• SteamworksSharp.Native.Osx_x86

If you are developing for a x64 platform, install;

• SteamworksSharp.Native.Windows_x64
• SteamworksSharp.Native.Linux_x64

The native packages provide the necessary steam binaries to use the library.

Using the library

First, you have to initialize SteamNative.

SteamNative.Initialize();

This will load the native steam binaries from the installed NuGet packages from the installation step. It will either succeed or throw an exception telling you that the required binary could not be found.

Now you have to initialize SteamApi.

var result = SteamApi.Initialize(480); // Replace 480 with your appid.

If the result is false, you can not use the library. Either the native library for your platform could not be found, steam is not running or the steam_appid.txt content is wrong.

If you are sure that you have done everything correctly, open the steam_appid.txt in a hex editor. Make sure it does not contain a byte order mark (BOM), which looks like EF BB BF. If it does, remove it and you are good to go.

You can also check if steam is open using;

var result = SteamApi.IsSteamRunning();

Why?

Why not?
