"Failed to Find Steam" Solution

[Crunch]

I was getting a "Failed to find steam" error when attempting to launch this game on Windows 7, and here's the solution I eventually found that worked for me:

1) Go to your steam installation folder; for me it was C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
2) Copy the file "Steam.dll"
3) Go to the folder "steamapps\common\Hitman Codename 47" within the Steam folder
4) Paste the Steam.dll file here
5) Run the game!

I've seen other suggestions for fixing this problem, such as running the game as an administrator (which I already was), but this fixed the issue for me.

I sometimes try logging out and then playing it as my first game. That sometimes works.

Sufficient to restart Steam.

This definitely worked for me. Thanks

The other solution is to add your steam path to the Path environment variables which will allow any old program to find steam.

I just log out and back in to steam and that does the trick

OK after some more frustrating tweeking. I have managed to get the game to load to the Main screen allow access to the menu with out crashing and create profile. I did do the fix of copying the Steam.dll agian. After a clean install of Codename 47. Now to the hitman.ini file. I used these settings.

But before that in the setup program I set the Render to OpenGL, Rull Fullscreen, Use Testure Compression and Res 1280x1024. Now no matter what It dosent really like full screen of any res higher on any other render. Hopefully this will help others.
