I installed the game via Steam, but it simply didn't start via the Steam Launcher... no error message... nothing.

I went to the Steam Library folder on my HDD and tried executing the exe directly: It told me msvcp120.dll is missing.

I figured I need to install MS Visual Studio Redist 2013, but realized I already had it installed. However I only had the x64 version, not the x86 (32 Bit). After installing the 32 Bit version as well, everything ran smoothly.

You might want to check your dependency config and install the 32 Bit version automatically. I want to play the game, not troubleshoot. I am running Windows 8.1 64 Bit.
