Simply extract the file from the archive into “SteamsteamappscommonRise of the Triad Dark WarRise of the Triad – Dark War” Just right click on the game in steam and click view local files. Don’t put it into the folder with just the .BAT file… read on below and then re-follow the guide if needed.
Filename extracted into your folder will either be WinRottAPI.exe for x86, or WinRottAPI_x64 for x64 bit. That’s all you need to do. Seriously.

Head to the main folder “SteamsteamappscommonRise of the Triad Dark War” the only thing here should be “ROTT.bat” – Simply right click and copy it and then click paste. So we have a back up.

My code depends on you having extracted the WinrottAPI into the folder with “DARKWAR.WAD” and that’s it.
No need to rename dosbox or anything. Click launch from steam and you’re good to go.
