EasyPickins Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 One thing I found here says you need Service Pack 3 for Windows XP, Service Pack 2 or earlier doesn't work with MSVC 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teesee Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Before the actual support guys show up, have you tried to verify the game cache in the steam properties? It might help, as the problem seems to be coming from missing DLLs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaGrey Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 You need to install VCRedist 2013 from the CommonRedist folder included in the installation directory for the game. Steam should have taken care of this for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyPickins Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Right-click on the game in the Steam Library list. Choose 'Properties'. Click the 'Local Files' tab, Click 'Verify Integrity of Game Cache' button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the game loaded I did see that the game couldn't find the lighting.dll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its says: "Process exited with code 0" for all of them. Could it be a RAM memory problem? My laptop is pretty old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyPickins Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Unzip this file somewhere, then run the depends.exe application. Drag Lighting32.dll from the game onto the Dependency Walker window. It might show some error with missing symbols in the DLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
