Not really sure where to go from here, but would love some ideas. But an strace only suggests that it's looking for a pid file isntead of steamclient.so but I'm no expert at reading these traces. The game is packaged with steampipe(ass a tool as described here on their partner site, which purposely includes steamclient.so and steam_appid.txt as redistributables. Most of the suggested fixes here or elsewhere just don't work, including the official suggestion of symlinking steamclient.so to. Are there any logs anywhere on Valve's side that can be checked to see if there were permissions issues? I can only guess it might have to do with not having a steam client running(I can't for a headless system) but steamcmd should have my credentials. Refer to Valve's documentation or the comment above this line for more information. SteamAPI_Init() failed unable to locate a running instance of Steam, or a local steamclient.so.


SteamAPI_Init() failed SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed.
