So uhhh... got some feedback for you about boot up.
...Is this game for x32 or x64bit systems?... the download didn't say...
Because let me tell ya, I had a hell of a time getting this to play unfortunately.😆
Had to take a crash course on .dll files that took like 2 hrs... :/ That's a first lol.😄
But hey... got it to play in the end. ^_^ I win!
I play on a laptop x64bit. Windows 10.
Starting it up after download I had the errors:
- Missing msvcp120.dll
- Missing msvcr120.dll
- Missing vcruntime140.dll
But here's where it got complicated and weird...
"Even though these files were already on my system and just needed to be copied into the game folder for them to work... these errors popped up anyway" 🙃
It's like the game itself didn't know where to look on my system for the .dll files I already had...
They were right where they should have already been but the game thought they were missing lol. Unless I placed them in the game folder instead. (yes I checked. I already had the correctly named .dll files before installing anything in C:/windows/system32)
There shouldn't have been any errors or issues.
The game simply wasn't finding them for some reason even though they were already there.
That's why I ask if this was meant for x64 or not...
Doesn't seem like it lol. That would explain why I had sooo much trouble and the game couldn't find the .dll files lol.
To make sure it worked I did the following full process anyway:
Just to be sure...
1. install MS Visual C++ x86 (32bit) first
(Luckily x64bit systems have no trouble running this and it's actually recommended to have on them also. This I didn't know.)
2. and then for x64 systems, just in case, re-install MS Visual C++ x64 next (This was definitely already installed and up to date on my system though. I play games often on it.)
Then I needed to copy and paste the correct .dll files that were noted in the error box on games startup. From the folder you included of missing .dll and from windows/system32 to the games root folder. This is what really did the trick.
Otherwise it would just give me boot up errors like crazy anyway asking for .dll files that were already in my windows/system32 folder aka on my device properly and worked fine for other games. :/
Sorry if I repeated myself a little bit.. My head is still spinning from everything I just went though tonight trying to get it to simply work lol. >_<
Thought hopefully though that my feedback would help you solve any problems with other people having these errors if I was as thorough as possible what was going wrong and what I had to do to solve it.
Really really hope this helps resolve the boot up issues for certain devices in the next update so people can play on startup without going through this without all the issues xD
I play games, not program them lol..
I just wouldn't want people to get discouraged from even playing your game simply because they couldn't open the game after installing. That's all. I'm just trying to help. I'm not upset or anything. I found this to be rather educational actually.
Learned a new trick xD
- If a game doesn't want to work, move the appropriate .dll files the game needs and uses, into the game folder instead if you have them. Fixed it like a charm lol.😃
Really really hope this helps. Sorry for the long letter explaining all that. I know, I know. Probably overkill. Just trying to help. It didn't help that when I wrote this I was extremely tired from lack of sleep and being up all night trying to figure that out lol and texting this feedback. I need sleep lol.
