Hey all, we have tried to reproduce this on all our home machines (I tried 3 different ones), but we aren't able to get a machine that breaks, so it is difficult to debug the issue.

If anyone wants to try a possible solution that would be helpful for us to debug things, you can try installing the Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable here: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe (this is a link from the Microsoft page found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170)

This contains some dependencies that may be missing from your system, and may be causing things to break when they are not found.

Thanks @jflat06 ! The vc_redist_x64 was the missing piece. Foldit is up and running on the system where I was getting the "game_libary.dll not found" errors.

Hey everyone,

I've posted an updated installer that should work out-of-the-box. Let me know if you still have issues after using this installer. Thanks for the help debugging this!
