Unable to start Star Wars Battlefront II (Classic, 2005) GOG
I was unable to start the classic Battlefront II game purchased from GOG. The game would crash immediately when attempting to startup.
Heroic logs weren't too useful, but the system logs pointed to the an issue with one of the dlls:
This looks related to an issue where a certain Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (2013) is not installed.
Installing the game using the Official GOG client automatically installed this for me and from then on I was able to launch the game using Heroic just fine.
Installing the C++ Redistributable should also resolve this.
Posting this in case anyone else runs into this issue.
It would also be great if there's a way to fix this issue within Heroic itself so that other users don't run into this.
