“Missing DLL error”
This error is extremely common for newcomers. Most PC games require
DirectX and Visual C++ Runtimes in order to run properly.
If you get a missing .dll error when launching a game, install the following:
If you’re still getting a missing .dll error after installing everything, it usually means your antivirus or Windows Defender deleted a required file.
Try the following:
- Add the game folder to your antivirus / Defender exclusions.
- Temporarily disable your antivirus while installing and running the game, then enable it again afterward. After allowing the game, reinstall it and try launching again.
“I’m missing files after I downloaded a game?!”
After your torrent finishes downloading, always right-click the torrent in your client and select
“Force Re-Check”.
This verifies the files and ensures nothing is missing or corrupted. Any missing parts will download automatically.
Also remember: antivirus programs can delete files without warning. Always allow or whitelist the game folder to avoid missing files.
“My game won’t save and/or crashes!”
Many games require Administrator permissions to save properly.
To fix crashes or save issues:
Right-click the game → Properties → Compatibility →
check “Run this program as administrator” → Apply → OK.
“I downloaded the torrent and it’s a .ISO file. What do I do?”
Some torrents come as a .iso instead of a folder — completely normal.
Simply right-click the file and choose “Extract to…” just like a .zip file.
You’ll need WinRAR installed to extract it.
