C++ issue while trying to lauch Gord from GOG
Hey! I am new to this Heroic laucher and trying to play some windows games on Macbook Air M2. I am trying to lauch Gord from GOG with Heroic, but when its trying to lauch i get error saying "The following components are required to run this program, Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime".
Anyone know how to fix this issue?

if you are using the paid version of crossover, you have to install the visual c++ runtime in the Heroic bottle using crossover's app

for other wines/crossovers/gptk variants you can download the vc++ runtime executables from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 and install them in the prefix with the
run exe in prefix option in the game's settings in heroicLatest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads

Sorry if this is a dumb question, im pretty new to all of this and generally not that familier with macOs
