Steam version freezing on launch

The Steam version is likely to fail to start and end up on a black screen. This is due to the Steam DRM intervening with the game. Use the Goldberg Emulator to bypass the Steam DRM and fix the issue.
  1. Download the file and extract it.
  2. Inside the folder, copy "steam_api.dll"
  3. Paste it inside the game's directory, likely in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Just Dance 2017" and replace the existing file.

Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/446560/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (446560) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
