Runtime dependencies on Windows

In order for the EOS SDK to run on Windows, the player's machine must have the following software installed:

  • Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2015

Most machines will already have this installed, either due to previous game installations or Windows Update. But it may not be present on a fresh Windows installation, so you should configure your store or application listing to install it as a dependency.

Installing the Visual C++ Redistributable on Steam​

You can install the Visual C++ Redistributable for your Steam users automatically by heading to the Redistributables page in the Steamworks portal and ticking the checkbox next to "Visual C++ Redist -> 2019 (also includes 2017 & 2015)".

After enabling this setting, make sure you publish your changes in Steamworks for them to take effect.
