{% hint style="danger" %}
**Error 2 - Failed to initialize Steam User!**
{% endhint %}

This error can be caused by multiple factors:

1. Steam isn’t running on your PC
2. You aren’t logged into an account that owns the game (Spacewar (480) is owned by everyone)

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Error 3 - Failed to initialize the Steam API!**
{% endhint %}

Either there was a Steam internal server-side error or you failed to correctly setup your project.
