Hi, thank you for the comment and the sincere considerations.
Honestly, I do not know why Visual C++ was required, I will try to understand it. Regarding the use of the GPU, it is probably because the game was made in Unreal Engine and I did not have time to optimize or exclude non-essential components to the game.
I'll try to fix it. Thanks

Glad to know you might be able to fix the GPU. I've never had anything put my GPU over 20%-30%, at least not for the entire duration of a program running. (Yes, I have Task Manager open way too much XD). I have played Unreal games before, but never had to install Visual C++. Visual C++ also appeared to install through my Epic Games app, leaving me to wonder if the game would have worked if I did not have it installed.
Good luck finishing the game!
