Trying to bump this thread to get an answer like the rest of you. Im running Windows 7 and get the missing file error at launch, and have tried the prescribed fixes short of upgrading to windows 10 since I dont hate myself that much at the moment. Also! I happened to try launching the game from the actual .exe and got the same error but with a file listed: 'api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll"
