!!ATTENTION!!
Hello. How to enable all DLC:
Go to: "The.Disappearing.of.Gensokyo.Incl.All.DLC\The Disappearing of Gensokyo\The Disappearing of Gensokyo_Data\Plugins". And here we can see the file "ds" open this file and scroll down at final, you will find "[DLC] ;DLC_ID=DLC_NAME" and down write this:
780980=Character Color Pack
781020=Byakuren Character Pack
780990=Youmu, Yuyuko Character Pack
781010=Kogasa, Iku Character Pack
778530=Patchouli Character Pack
779280=Sakuya, Koishi, Suika Character Pack
(how it should look: http://prntscr.com/v9yh4c )
when all this is written, just save the document and you can enjoy the game. Good luck!

GOT IT!
Look on http://www.dll-files.com, search for STEAM_API.DLL, download it, then replace it with the existing one in The.Disappearing.of.Gensokyo.Incl.All.DLC\The Disappearing of Gensokyo\The Disappearing of Gensokyo_Data\Plugins
This is how to solve the blue-green wavy endless screen!

Appreciate info that -thanks. One small qestion: There are SO MANY version of dat steam_api.dll file. Like a couple dozen seriously. Don't suppose you know if it matters which one? ;-) Thanks for the great info.
Obviously the one with the archive is not a good version - one would think - so hope to use a compatible version that has fixed whatever is wrong with the archive's version. Thanks man.

Download a different STEAM_API.DLL from http://dll-files.com, replace it in your game folder (should be in the Plugin folder)
Avatar
Jack Golorf
your antimalware deleted steam_api.dll
disable your antimalware, or once your computer notifies that it finds a trojan, click on more details, check to make sure it's the .dll file named above, and if it is the .dll file, restore the file, but if it's not, delete it

Replace the STEAM_API.DLL in your game folder. Look up the replacement from a site, http://dll-files.com for example.

After trying this game out here, it is worth the price you pay for it on steam...
If you have a job and can afford it buy it full price
If you don't have a enough money for full price wait till it goes on sale
If you are under age and rely on your parents to buy your games, ask them to get you a steam card for your birthday or to buy the game for you....totally worth the money...fking love this game and I currently have over 300hrs on it now lol...LOVE IT

What all have u tried for fixing it?
Avatar
MaggieMathews
OKAY! SO....I'm using Microsoft Essentials for my AV...the way i got it to work was by doing this
(also im on Win 7)

  • click the little house with the check mark (its usually green, sometimes yellow if u didn't do a virus scan)
  • Click on settings
  • Click Exclude File Type (should be the 5th one down)
  • you should now see a box that says "File Extensions" above it and a grayed out "Add" beside the box
  • Type out or copy this "steam_api.dll" don't copy the " " just the steam_api.dll
  • Click Add
    "extract the Zip to where ever you want and launch the game using the "The Disappearing of Gensokyo"
    it should play and the screen where it gets stuck on, should load the logos and shit..
    let me know if this worked for you, it did for me....if not give me the exact name of your AV and i will try to help you get the game going.

I tried a similar attempt with Avast Free AV, except that I added the exclusion after extracting the RAR. The steam_api.dll is still there the whole time and, in fact, Avast has never attempted to delete or block anything since I downloaded the game first time. But the error still occurs, still the damn wavy blue screen.
Any idea?

The game remains on this screen all the time on the blue screen that normally starts, they know how to fix it

Ok so all I get is the blue/green screen after I click it
The Steam_api.dll is fine, never deleted, i even allowed it to exist and everything.
I have tried turning off my AV even with it being allowed to exist and i still get the blue screen thing... anyone got any other suggestions?

(Allow the steam_api.dll to exist. Worked for me. Your antivirus deleted it.)
And on the other note, how do you let it exist as said? Because my computer hasn't install any kind of antivirus.

Just fix it my self so

  1. It's in "The.Disappearing.of.Gensokyo.rar\The.Disappearing.of.Gensokyo\The Disappearing of Gensokyo\The Disappearing of Gensokyo_Data\Plugins"
  2. I'm not install any anti-virus myself but "windows defender" seems silly enough to delete this file so exclude folder to extract file of briefly disable it.

The method used to crack games is similar to the method used to code malware! Anti-virus programs will detect the crack as a virus and delete it, even though it isn’t! :)

Could also be that the file exists but your av/defender blocked it. Whitelist both the steam_api.dll and game exe. OR it could be basic issues like VC++ redists, directx, etc. You need to provide more informations like if there's error message or smth

firewall doesnt relegate FILE SECURITY lmfao, that's for incoming, outgoling internet connections.
do you even PC?
iof yourAV program is marking a file as malware, ( when it isn'
t) then m,ake an exception for that file, or an exclusion, however it is worded on your OS.

Doesn't seem to work for me.
When I start the game, it looks like some sort of a title screen (green-blueish with some fog) but nothing on it.
EDIT:
Also, the "steam_api.dll" seems to delete itself after a few seconds.
I don't have anything anti-vir related on my PC and also turned off the firewall and windows-defender.
EDITEDIT:
Yeah, it's the only game where that happens.
I have other games with the same file, and the file never got removed from windows.
These titles also still work perfectly fine.

go to windows defneder, or whatever you use for anti virus, and make an exception for that very file, that's what's happening.
I never had this issue at all.

Temmie Plays!
There's a few bugs here, mainly level 2 - After you defeat Cirno she sometimes doesn't drop the item you need to collect to advance, just restart the mission.
the word destroy is spelled DESTORY
and the game isn't optimized too well. I suggest running it on " good" settings. the other two run badly thanks to AO being used on grass blades you'll never be close enough to see in the first place.

My antivirus also detected malware. It was the steam.api file. I made an exception for it in my AV's settings and the game worked fine.
Too bad the game itself sucks ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That's the point. You said it's not an issue to you because you played on Good graphic setting. What about others that wants to play on higher setting? Is it not an issue?
I don't really understand what was ignorant about "You should realize yourself if you play it" ? It means exactly what it says. And are we going to start swearing like child now? Anyway, fix your english as it took me a couple of time reading it to understand it.
