This hotfix adds a .dll file that was missing on some Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 PCs (due to those PCs not being up to date with Windows Updates). This fixes many instances of the game not running on startup.
For those of you having trouble running the game, this should fix your issue. For those of you that it does not, please delete the game files and reinstall the game. If it still does not run, please post on our forums so we can help address any issues.
Thanks!
