Writeminidump — Steamapi

With SteamAPI_WriteMiniDump , the Steamworks backend handles this mapping. When a developer views the "Crashes" section in the Steamworks Partner backend, the dashboard uses the Build ID embedded in the dump to locate the corresponding symbols stored in the developer's depot. This allows for automatic resolution of the call stack, transforming raw memory addresses into readable function names and line numbers.
