as soon as i click on play in the pop up window, a new window opens with the error message:
"The following component(s) are required to run this program: DirectX Runtime".
I´m running win10 up to date, checked dxdiag, tried to reinstall DirectX, but it says all is up to date. Reinstalled grfx-driver, even tried a winrepair to check for corupted files, nothing changes.
donno what else to do, I'd appreciate any help.

standalone or steam or GOG version?

You must install Visual C++ all the prerequisites needed
