Steam API Check Bypass

Bypasses Steam API dll integrity/size check by hooking CreateFile API.

Build

• Build with Visual Studio 2022.

Usage

• If you are using x32 version please use _x32 version dll.

Method 1

• Use CFF Explorer and add any dll import to game main exe, then put the SteamAPICheckBypass(_x32).dll dll beside game exe.

Method 2 (VersionShim) (x64 for pre-built version.dll)

• Rename SteamAPICheckBypass(_x32).dll to version.dll and put it beside game exe.

Configuration (Optional)

• Create SteamAPICheckBypass.json and write file names you want to replace. Example:

{
    "steam_api64.dll":
    {
      "mode": "file_redirect",
      "to": "steam_api64.dll.bak",
      "hook_times_mode": "nth_time_only",
      "hook_time_n": 1
    },
    "game.exe":
    {
        "mode": "file_redirect",
        "to": "game.exe.bak"
    }
}
  

• mode: file_redirect or file_hide.
• to : The target file relative path.
