that's...  odd.  does it say anything else?  what version of windows are you running?

(2 edits)

the error message says "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more info" (no clue what either of those are :/ ). i'm on Windows 11

any advice?

i'm not on windows so all i can really do is guess, but you could try:

  • install the vc++ 2013 runtime, then try running it again, or;
  • install the latest love2d, then try running the game with that (drag fox flux deluxe.exe onto love.exe — yes this is weird i know)

alright, i'll try that, thanks!

edit: the LÖVE method worked, thanks again! :)

i even redownloaded it, but that didn't fix it
