The extension does not work for me anymore (More details in post)

[Tontete]

I have been using Steamworks.gml for over a year, but after updating GMS2 to 2022.2 it suddenly stopped working. I suspected that it had to do with the changes made to Steam integration with GameMaker with this version.

However, I later reverted to 2022.1 with backup game files, and the problem still occurred:

LoadLibraryW Steamworks.gml.gml failed with error code 126 LoadLibraryW Steamworks.gml.gml failed with error code 126 LoadLibraryW Steamworks.gml.gml failed with error code 126 Initializing steamworks.gml with app_id 1354750... Steamworks.gml binary is not loaded.

I did follow the readme instructions and recompiled the .dll file. Steam is enabled in the global settings, and as you can see it does recognize the steam app_id.

I would love some guidance regarding how to solve this issue, any suggestions will help, Thanks!

You'll need to provide a larger snippet of the output log, but overall I am currently only able to offer limited guidance due to ongoing war in Ukraine.

Thanks for the quick first answer! Here is the rest of the output log:

I have managed to solve the issue by (properly, this time) downgrade to version 2022.1. I believe the issue came from GameMaker 2022.2 using a new method for Steamworks integration that the extension may not be compatible with. I hope this will be fixed eventually, but I understand that you must take your time considering your ongoing situation.
