Problem running the game - "procedure could not be located"

Post by eMTe »

Ok, I get the following message trying to run the game:

"The procedure entry point _ftol2 could not be located in the library msvcrt.dll".

Solution? I copied the dll file from system32 to gamefolder as one of the solutions Ive found in web suggested, but it doesnt help. The answer to my problem is crucial, because the issue concerns the game which I promised to add last weekend and Im already one day behind the schedule. ;)

Some things i can think of.
DLL files should usually also be placed in the Windows/System folder. Try and copying it there just to be sure.
Maybe it's because it's a wrong version of that DLL, try downloading it from here: http://dll.softandco.com/dll/3/Msvcrt.dll.html

That dll is part of Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries
Newest version: 2008 SP1: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/de ... px?id=5582
It's happened before that the game needs an older version to run.

Sounds like a reasonable solution.

You're better off downloading all the full versions from MS, instead of the single file from a random place on the internet. But yeah, the problem is that you're missing the exact MS Visual C++ version runtime that the game needs (and didn't feel like bundling with the install).
