06-30-2024, 08:24 PMproph001Hi Mus. This is because of Windows 7. The game is looking for a function in the file kernel32.dll and the Windows 7 version of that file doesn't have that function. There is no fix for this that I'm aware of other than upgrading to a newer version of Windows. There is a Windows 7 subreddit that might help but it's unlikely. You can try though.Quote:
