In this troubleshooting tutorial video, I'll show how to fix the Jade Empire "Failed to find Steam" problem, which affects many users who try to play Jade Empire after having bought it through the Steam platform. This problem affects users with different specifications of hardware and software, and it happens "across the board".
This specific problem is related to permissions, specifically, permissions related to Jade Empire and Steam at the same time.
PART I - Steam.dll 1. Go to the Steam folder (Default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam) [In the video, I show the navigation to this default folder] If you have installed Steam in another location in your computer, go to that location. 2. Find "Steam.dll" - Select it - Copy it 3. Go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Jade Empire" [In the video, I also show the navigation to the game folder] 4. Paste "Steam.dll" here Now proceed to the next part of the video.
PART II - Administrator Permissions 1. Select "JadeEmpire" - Right-click it 2. Click "Properties" - Click "Compatibility" 3. Check "Run this progarm as administrator" 4. Click "Apply" - Click "OK" 5. Select "JadeEmpireLauncher" - Right-click it 6. Click "Properties" - Click "Compatibility" 7. Check "Run this progarm as administrator" 8. Click "Apply" - Click "OK" In the video, I show the navigation to perform these setting changes.

00:00Go to Computer. Open Drive. Open Program Files. Scroll down. Open Steam. This is the default location of the Steam folder. If you have installed Steam on another location, go to that folder. Scroll down.
00:18Select Steam DLL. Right-click it. Click Copy. Now scroll up. Open Steam Maps Folder. Open Common Folder. Open Jade Empire. Right-click Anywhere and paste it.
00:44If you are still having problems, make sure to select Jade Empire. Right-click it. Click Properties. Click Compatibility. And click Run this program as Administrator. And click Apply. Click OK. Also, do the same thing for Jade Empire Launcher.
01:07The Fail to Find Steam problem of Jade Empire is usually caused by the lack of the DLL file on the game folder. However, in some cases, this may also have to do with permissions.
01:24By placing the DLL in the game folder and also running the game as Administrator, you have all of the needed permissions to run the game and prevent this problem.
