Windows is a complex piece of software that is full of optional extras. To function correctly our games depend on two packages supplied by Microsoft. These common dependencies, which are supplied directly by Microsoft, are often found installeed on machines, but in some cases they need to be manually installed.

Here is a quick guide on how to check that your windows machine is correctly setup to enjoy our games. If you need to install the Microsoft visual C++ runtimes they can be found on the official Microsoft site. You will need both the 2012 and the combined 2015-2019 runtimes, the (x86) versions.
