Thank you, this worked for me on windows 11, had to install net framework 3.5, wouldn't download on its own, had to get it direct from microsofts website heres a link {ПОСИЛАННЯ ВИЛУЧЕНО}https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21

after doing that i got the directx error, did your instructions and it worked. hope this helps anyone trying to play this game, and hopefully the devs update it so it corrects itself since its on sale and everyone will be trying to run it on windows 10 and 11
