Help Needed: Game fails to start.

[Arwen]

Sadly, just purchased the game, only to find it fails to even launch. (No error's or anything)
Tried peeking around the files and I see I receive a " MSVCR100.dll not found, if that means anything important.

If anyone could spare a moment or shoot me the solution, I'd highly appreciate it.

NOTE: You might have to explain it to me like I'm 5 years old, step by step please.

Hello!, so in desperation, I pulled out my older computer rig to see if it'd work!
And it does!

Now newer issues. Audio stops, and the game seems to run slow...
More in depth on that... Cutscenes work beautifully, but outside of cutscenes everything moves at a slower pace.

Ok, so the audio began to give out, and the game began to slow down to a crawl, to where I couldn't even move in-game.
Returning to my newer PC in hopes I can get this to work, because it looks like a FANTASTIC game, and I really want to enjoy it.

Going to attempt what you first suggested.

This isn't a problem we've encountered before, but I have found a guide to what to do in this situation

https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-fix-msvcr100-dll-not-found-or-missing-errors-2623799

Another suggestion I found is that you

"msvcr100.dll is a part of Microsoft Visual C++ and is required to run programs developed with Visual C++. Some games or applications may need the file in the game/application installation folder. Copying it from Windows systemfolder to the install-folder of the game/application should fix that problem."

Again it's not a problem we've encountered before, so it might be worth Googling the error yourself, to see if there is anything more applicable to you.

Right? I've been scouring the interent, have not come across this problem from anyone else.
I do appreciate any and all advice and help coming from people with more experience on this sort of situation.

Fingers crossed that your solution is the one!

If the error is saying you're missing MSVCR100.dll, then the solution might just be to find it, and put it into the folder where your Way of the Samurai 4 is installed.

Your old rig has the problem of slowness because it's an old rig. Chances are it's too weak for the game, which might just be an assumption from you calling it old.

Also, try this and see if it works, even though I kind of doubt it will. Right click the game on your library, go to Properties, Local Files, then Verify Integrity of Game Files. What this does is install missing files. Some files aren't from the game itself though, like how when you first install a game it'll install other things like Net Framework. This file might come from one of those, so Verify Integrity might not work. It wouldn't hurt though
