Unable to load DLL 'freetype6' (not found) #835

Closed tukib closed 5 years ago

tukib commented 5 years ago

Error while launching SS14.Launcher.exe. This occurs even when the exe is run as administrator. Using Windows 10 1809 17763.615. I have not installed the Visual C++ Redistributable yet, so that may be the issue. Perhaps check for this and offer a warning to the user or give an option to download and install it?

We should be bundling freetype with the client. Can you checkt that freetype6.dll exists inside %APPDATA%/Space Station 14/launcher/client_bin?

tukib commented 5 years ago

%APPDATA%/Space Station 14/launcher/client_bin/freetype6.dll exists. I also tried running client_bin/Robust.Client.exe, but I was met with the same error.

This is because the freetype6 dll depends on Visual Studio 2013 Redistributable. I'll work on recompiling the library to use 2015 though which I believe should make you not have to install anything else.
