Missing .dll file? Game doesn't start.

[Katch]

Game doesn't start, same as many have mentioned, but when I run it as a Windows 7 or 8 game I get a message saying I have missing .dll files. (Nvidia GTX 670, 16gb ram, i7-4770)

Hey Thyme,

So that I can investigate this issue further could you please confirm the following:

1. Whether this issue persists after verifying your game files *

* Right-Click Worms W.M.D > Properties > Local Files Tab > 'Verify Integrity of Game Files...'

Thank you for your continued support,

Verified the files. And when trying to start it up, the Steam window saying the game is starting comes up, goes away, and there's no game.

Hello Thyme,

Apologies for the delay in response.

We are sorry to hear that you are still encountering issues when attempting to launch Worms W.M.D.

As the game is now launching correctly, we would highly recommend that you update your graphic drivers for stability purposes. If you are unsure on how to do so, please refer to our guide under the header 'Update your graphics driver' located here:

http://steamcommunity.com/app/327030/discussions/2/355043117522139272/

Once you have installed the latest driver available for your system and card, please restart your system and attempt to launch the game again.

Please let us know of the outcome.

Thank you for your continued support and patience,
Team17_Assistance

Being as the devs can't seem to actually tell people how to fix it properly, here are the steps:

Go here: \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\WormsWMD\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2012

Run *BOTH* the x86 and x64 installers. This will likely fix your issue.
