w2plus v1.5.7.2 : C++ runtime issue with landgen.exe (GOG version, win 10) #12

Hi,

First and foremost thanks a lot for taking the time to create the patch. Unfortunately I cannot play the game: After running start.exe, the launcher works fine, but when I try to start a single-player game (haven't tried any other variant), the terrain generator landgen.exe throws an error ("abnormal program termination") and the worms2.exe as well: worms-2-gog_win10_landgen-issue worms-2-gog_win10_worms-2-issue

The frontend then hangs up and crashes. worms2-gog_crash

I already (re-)installed the VC++ runtime components from here https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2015-2017-2019-and-2022 (I installed both the x86 and x64 versions), but this did not help). Do I need the 2013 version? As for the game itself, I installed it through the gog galaxy client and started start.exe without any compatibility settings. Maybe the non-galaxy setup package from gog makes a difference, even though this would be rather unexpected. Do you have another idea?

Cheers!
