I bought the game last night and it doesn't seem to run. I run it from within Steam and and in the chat window it shows I'm playing it for 2 seconds by making my avatar green then it goes back to being online.

I have tried going to the directory where the game is and running the exe but I then get "The program can't start because MSVCP110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem". So I go an research this dll and find out it is part of the MSVC 2012 runtime. I go and install that and the game still won't run and gives the same error.

I have a feeling this is something to do with running windows 8.1 as that is what I am using. I don't know what to do and am in need of some help?
