Installing the vcredist _does_ work. The game actually does run nicely on XP, and I was able to connect to the lobby after adding TLS 1.1/1.2 support via a Windows update.

  • Ticket #5527 – Description

    v2 v3  
    11As explained [https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/introducing-the-universal-crt/ here], VS 2015 introduces the Universal CRT which is a component of Windows 10. Earlier versions of Windows must install update [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows KB2999226], or the VCRedist package for VC++ 2015 (you already have it if you installed VS 2015). Windows XP users won't get the Windows update, so they must install the VCRedist package.

    3 Another option is "app-local deployment", where we copy all of the UCRT DLLs from the Windows 10 SDK (although I tried this and it failed on XP; copying them from the vcredist package worked), alongside the rest of the game's binaries. There are 41 of them, but it's < 2 MB total:
