How to fix missing Steam.dll

By Concon

There is a bug where if you just downloaded the game it says, "Could not find Steam.dll" so, this is how to fix that. (Note: This was done on Windows 10, I don't know if this will work on older/newer systems.)

For instalations on other drive you need to find for example:

I had this issue. All I did was shut steam down in the background and re-open and it seemed to fix the issue.
