Microsoft Visual C++ prompt
I keep getting prompted on startup for heroic "The Microsoft Visual C++ Runtimes are not installed, which are required by some games". Is it normal for that to pop up? Do I actually need this or can I safely ignore?

a lot of games need those things to be installed
you can ignore them, but then if a game needs the c++ runtime you won't have them (some games prompt you to install that, some just fail)

I see, it just kinda freaked me out because in the past I've never had heroic prompt me to 2 download links. So it's part of the program to do that then? It freaked me out lol.

it does that when it detects you don't have that
because you'll most likely need them (it asks you to install both the 32 and 64bits binaries)
