Vcruntime140.dll is in the Armored Brigade II folder on my computer.

Thanks, it works now. I had already downloaded one of those versions before, but it was apparently the wrong one.

The good news are that I've now added the UTF-16 Wide String support for folder names and tested the "ł" and "ス" characters. They seem to work.

The next patch should be available in January.

Same here. Still wont run after the launcher. The User Folder Name contains a "Ö".

I changed the display to English and reinstalled the software on a drive with an English name, but it still wouldn't start.

Apparently I have to change the registry. I don't know what to do.

I think they should announce on the sales page that the software won't start in countries other than English-speaking countries. This isn't a bug. It's a defect.

This is not about the game installation folder, but the Windows user folder that has the Documents.

If you read my earlier message, I have now implemented UTF-16 support for folder names.

As a temporary solution, I wonder if you create a Windows user with only ASCII characters in the name, then the game should run?

I was able to start it by creating a Windows user whose name only contains ASCII characters.

Thank you.
