How to fix "Steam api init failed!" and "Server error during loginTimeout"

[PigeonMan]

If you encountered the "Steam api init failed!" bug thing try these 2 solutions:

1. Close steam, then open task manager and close the steam client bootstrapper along with any other steam proccesses that may still be open. Right click the steam shortcut and select "Run as administrator." And now launch Ring Of Elysium

2. If the first solution didn't work and you are using a non admin account swap to your admin account and run the game through that.

(note: if you encounter the white screen not responsive issue solution 2 will most likely fix that)

If you encountered the "Server error during loginTimeout" message:

Disable windows defender:
Open settings.
Open Update and Security.
Click the Windows Secuirity tab.
Click "Open Windows Defender Secuirity Center" towards the top of the screen.
Now open Virus and threat protection tab.
Open Virus & threat protection settings.
Toggle off Real-time protection and Cloud-delivered protection.
Open up Ring of Elysium.
Profit?

Hope this helps!

I found a slolution. Close out all of your steam related things and make sure steam is not running. Then run steam as an administrator then try to load the game. You will see a white screen when the game comes on but if you wait the game sould appear. This fixes the "steam api init failed" but idk how to fit server error so sorry.
