In this case, not only you will need to install ScreamAPI, but you also have to get the additional DLC files elsewhere and put them into the game folder. However, some games download additional files only after a user has bought the corresponding DLC (like Civilization VI).

This is the ideal scenario for ScreamAPI.

Some games include the DLC files in their base game, regardless of whether you own the DLC or not (like World War Z).

Search in the respective game topic for more information about how to disable anti-cheat. Sometimes it is possible to disable an anti-cheat, but that typically entails the loss of online capabilities.

ScreamAPI is unlikely to work with games that use Anti-Cheat, since they typically detect any DLL/EXE that has been tampered with.

However, it can unlock DLCs in Denuvo-protected games if there are no other integrity checks (like Death Stranding)

ScreamAPI will not work with games that employ additional ownership protection or if the game is using alternative DLC verification mechanism (like Borderlands 3).

Furthermore, ScreamAPI is also unlikely to unlock anything in Free-To-Play games since they typically store all player data on the corresponding game server and hence all the checks are server-side.

ScreamAPI most definitely will not work with games that use 3rd party DRM, such as games from Ubisoft, Rockstar, etc.

Therefore, you have to first research the game's topic, to see if it supports unlocking.Īdditionally, there are several points to bear in mind when it comes to ScreamAPI and Epic Games Store: Even if the game uses EOS SDK DLL, it's not guaranteed to be supported because each game might implement its own additional verification checks. So if a game's installation directory does not contain any EOSSDK-WinXX-Shipping.dll files, then it's definitely not supported. Only the games that use Epic Online Services Software Development Kit (EOS SDK) for the DLC ownership verification are supported.

However, ScreamAPI does not modify the rest of the EOSSDK, hence features like multiplayer, achievements, etc. It attempts to fool games that use Epic Online Services Software Development Kit (EOSSDK) into thinking that you own the desired DLCs. ScreamAPI is a DLC unlocker for the games that are legitimately owned in your Epic Games account. Hint: Click on spoilers ( ▶) to expand their content What is ScreamAPI?
