its really sad seeing this much people is just dumb/noob enough to not even complete this game. Bruh moment
I see it over and over again every time I read this forum.
I comfort myself with the fact that we are on the Internet, and for every user who actively posts in the thread, there are a few dozen who read silently. These people, who are capable of reading and thinking, I consider my audience.
It doesn't work for me even tho i extracted it.
i cant start up the game i have msvcr and it says that it cant start the game help?
If you want to get a good answer, ask a good question. Describe what exactly you did, what you expected, what actually happened, add a screenshot.
If you don't want a good answer, then why ask at all?
I also had msvcr110.dll missing, and msvcr120.dll. Installed old versions of c++ stuff from microsoft which some searches implied was the issue and didnt' fix it. Found them in my system folder, copied them to game folder, no longer had that error but game still wouldn't open and just gave a general program won't open error message.
Yes, in Windows all executables start search for dynamic libraries with the directory they reside in.
But copying around DLLs is generally not a good idea, especially for fundamental things like C or C++ runtime. These libraries are not supposed to be used like that. Just installing redistributable package should be enough, if it isn't - it means you installed wrong package.
I suspect that you installed 64-bit versions of redistributable and though that you was done with it - but the Game.exe is 32-bit executable and it can only load 32-bit libraries. Every Windows installation is effectively multi-arch (64/32).
In short: make sure to also install 32-bit version of msvcr.
