Startup Fix (very epik)

By Dr. Cool

I recently got the game on discount and was very exited to play it just to realize the game wont launch no matter what but I figgred a way to fix so I thought might as well make it into a guide there is.

I did not find the fist 2 steps but I did figure out the 3rd one by myself but i am probably not the first to find it.

And for any one in the future if the link ever dies, its the "Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4" from Microsoft.
