Missing .dll error?

[minilogoguy18]

I get this all of the sudden when trying to launch openjk sp

 

 

Never got it before, is it just me or is something else going on?

I think it may be related to Visual C++ Redistributable. Try installing it.

Ramkad's right. You're missing the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable. But that shouldn't be needed at all as our Windows build server doesn't use that version of Visual C++. Where did you download your version of OpenJK from?

[minilogoguy18]

It's a modified version that @@DT85 compiled for our mod.

 

The weird thing is that it ran before without it but I had troubles with crashing that DT didn't have.

What version of VS should I use so it's compatible for all?

[ensiform]

They're all compatible (>XP).  They just need to have the correct redist installed.

So should I link a redist with DF2 for people to install?

2013

By default, anything compiled with Visual Studio will require the end-user to install the redistributable (it contains all of the standard C library functions code). The program might work in some cases, but you might get issues etc. You can avoid this by "statically linking" against the redistributable which means the C library functions are added to all of your exes and dlls. This bloats your file sizes but does make distributing things a bit easier.

Well and update on this, I still get crashing problems even with the redist for 2013 installed, for some reason the 64bit version installer kept saying my OS isn't 64bit so I had to install the x86 version. =S

 

Need to know how to generate a log file.
