Anyone can help please?

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with the game, when I go to play it appears an error that says "The program can't start because Core/Activation.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I read so many reply saying to intall "vcredist_x86" "vcredist_x64" and "vcredist_arm" but it doesn't work for me.

I have 7 32bit, so I can install only x86 and I can't install also "vcredist_arm" because it says that it isn't a valid win32 application.

I don't know how to fix this annoying problem.

Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

since ive updated the game it doesnt work anymore, i'll try to fix this mess...

can anyone help, please? ☹️

I have reinstalled it twice and even checked the files in the game. The activation.dll file is in the core folder so I'm not sure why it's saying this. If someone could help that would be great. Thank you.
