Error starting game: Could not initialize Steamworks API
Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2015 7:40 pm
I get the following error after clicking "PLAY Pandora" on autorun.exe.
################################
My system is running Windows 8.1 64 bit.
Temporary fix:
Change Compatibility Mode to Windows 8 and launch game using:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Pandora\Binaries\Pandora.exe
You may also need to run Pandora.exe as Administrator, at least once.
Edit: After trying the temporary fix, the GUI loads and I click New Game which crashes and results in this error...
