Have you tried installing Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributables?
Hello, I just did and it still does not work unfortunately. Getting Entry Point Not Found error. Specifically "MFCreateDXGIDeviceManager could not be located in teh dynamic link library MFPlat.DLL". The browser version works so not everything is lost, I can still enjoy your game but if you ever find a workaround for W7, I'll take it! Cheers.
After some research it seems like Windows 7 support was dropped in GameMaker 2024.11+. The incompatibility stems from a dependency on the MFCreateDXGIDeviceManager function, which is not present in Windows 7. Sadly there is nothing I can do about this. Might be time to update to newer OS. According to Steam hardware & software survey only 0.08% of people still use Win7.
I appreciate that friend and I know all of this. If there is nothing you can do on your end then so be it. Thanks for taking the time to answer and search everything, you are dedicated. I'll stick to the browser version for now. By the way the concept of your game is well made and very entertaining! Cheers.
