SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() did not locate a running instance of Steam #4

I'm trying to run boiler with steamCMD, but I got this error SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() did not locate a running instance of Steam. I'm properly logged in. image

I checked the documentation and I found something : https://docs.linuxgsm.com/steamcmd/errors#s_api-fail-steamapi_init-failed-steamapi_issteamrunning-failed-1 I know that this is an error from steamCMD, but maybe this error could be ignored too here ?

I tried to recompile it, but it looks like no, I don't achieve to download .info without being logged in :/ (lot of core dumped ha ha)

Hi! Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm stuck at the same exact spot...

Edit: So I think the issue is that you need to tell Steam somehow that you're "playing" csgo so that the GameCoordinator will even talk to you. I haven't figured it out using this repo, but I found SteamKit. Actually got my use case working with it.
