Starfield Creation Kit no longer works with Gamepass version? 'steam_api64.dll was not found.'

[Ross0203]

Hello,

I copied the contents of the Creation Kit downloaded via Steam to my Xbox Games installation folder of Starfield. Whenever I try to open the CK I get a System Error notifying 'steam_api64.dll was not found.'

I'm not sure whether an update for the CK has caused this since it was functioning fine when it was first released. Is there anyway of fixing this? Thank you.

Do you have the updated version of the CK?? The game updated recently, so the CK did as well. When I see those errors, its usually just an update the screwed up. Could try reinstalling the update, however gamepass manages that.....

Yeah I have the updated CK, I think it's the update that has made the .dll file a requirement. Is there a way to roll-back Steam updates?

The .dll file *should* have come with the game update. I had the same issue starting the game itself afterwards, but, I just verified game files thru steam, it picked up two files, and all was right with the world again.... I know that's not an option for you though.... that's why I suggested reinstalling the update. But, I have no clue how gamepass deals with that.
