Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x86)

[The War of 1812]

Hello,

I've been using TTS for over a year now (give or take) and when trying to load it today, ran into a bug that does not allow me to chat/join games:

This involes an error that cannot connect to steam, and tells me to reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86). It also gives me the "Error: nickname already in use" 3 times, and says disconnected from steam.

I've tried:
1. Uninstalling/reinstalling TTS. no help
2. Uninstalling/reinstalling Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x86). Then restarting computer.

Now I don't receive the initial error message, but I still get "nickname already in use" 3 times and I still can't join any games or chat.

Problem solved. Got a new error instructing me to reinstall the 2010 Redistributable Package, and that worked.
