Mechwarrior 5 fails to start claiming no microsoft visuall C++
Heroic installed, seems to work. took 2 hours to download mechwarrior 5 from epic. game installed as near as I can tell. click to start, it will not start giving a window saying microsoft Visuall C++ is not installed. Have spent now 7 hours to try and get that somehow installed. Seems to be no possible way for a non computer coder to even approach this. Is that visual ++ not included in the heroic base? hours of terminal attempts seem to have zero effect even as I think the Visual C++ did in fact get on the machine (someplace). Simple way to make a game work would be good. This game has worked for years on windows. Put this on linux mint 21.3. I have never gotten any game to work on linux so, would hope it can be made to go. I did try to put some kind of log file on here if it is useful. Will appreciate any help
