[RESOLVED] Won't launch. Can't load DLL lua52

Post by nukkxx5058 »

Hi, had to format my hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch, including Steam and CMANO.
And when starting the game, I receive this message:
Unable to load DLL lua52 etc.
I searched the forum and found that I need to install vcredist_x86.exe from Microsoft site, which I did. But won't help.
Would appreciate some help.
Thank you

Is Windows fully up-to-date?

yes, I runned windows update already several times (I reinstalled windows some 5 days ago so i updated alreday many times).
But each time I check win update it finds some new updates. So I don't know when the process is over and i don't know which updates are required ...
BTW I just relaunched the windows update process and there are some new updates, so I will install them and try again to launch the game.
Will keep you posted.

Once windows update has finally run without finding any new updates, also try doing the "verify integrity of local files" thing in Steam. If a file is missing or corrupted in the game directory that will detect it with a hash function and download it again.
