If you're trying to launch and are blocked by an error stating that steam_api.dll is missing, you are not alone. This file is a critical component that allows the game to communicate with the Steam Client API to manage achievements, leaderboards, and licensing.

: DLLs are version-specific; a "new" one from a website might not be compatible with the 2013 version of Tomb Raider.

: To prevent it from being deleted again, add the Tomb Raider game folder to your antivirus Exclusion or Whitelist .
