Non-Steam users:

Check Antivirus Quarantine: Open your antivirus software (e.g., Windows Defender) and check "Protection History" or "Quarantine." If steam_api.dll is there, select Restore and then add the game's folder to your antivirus Exclusion/Exceptions list to prevent it from being deleted again.
