"I am receiving an API error whenever I am trying to purchase Goldings in Warlander."
This error appears when the Steam Overlay is disabled, preventing the shop from processing the purchase request.
The overlay enables the game to communicate with Steam and allows your purchase to be made while playing.
As instructed in this Steam article, Steam has a global setting that will enable or disable the Steam overlay:
- Open the Steam client and navigate to Steam > Settings/Preferences > In-game tab.
- Check the box next to Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game.
Additionally, you can turn on/off the Steam Overlay per game.
- Find the game in your Library -> Properties...
- Under the General tab, you'll find a checkbox for Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game
The Steam shortcut allows the overlay to be opened in-game. You'll want to double-check that you have it set correctly.
The default shortcut is Shift + Tab. To change the shortcut select Steam > Settings > In-game.
Alternatively, and if the steps above did not fix the issue, you can access the items directly via the Steam Store:
