Windows 7 Support

By DDR Khat

If you are using the Windows 7 operating system the game by default will not launch. This is due to the audio requiring XAudio2.8 which was introduced as of Windows 8.1 and higher.

However thankfully there is a publically available and created pack of DLLs which are open-source which allows you to support this on your Windows 7 installation.

Firstly, you can find these files on the github -- https://github.com/CWTesseract/win7fix . Make sure to grab the latest "releases" version on the right side (As of posting this, it is v1.1)

Once you have grabbed the zip file, you will want to open it and navigate to;

\Steam\Steamapps\Common\FCT\Binaries\Win64\

Once you have navigated there, put ALL of the DLL files from the zip file into that folder. After this, you will be able to launch the game as you normally would with any other steam application.

Good luck and have fun!

I'm afraid not, list-o-pat . And far as I know the fix I posted to here in github no longer work. You would need to go about changing it to use the "vulkan" renderer.

do you have any idea where i should put these files if the game is from epic game store? Epic Games\FirstClassTrouble\Engine\Binaries\Win64 didn't work

Unfortunately, I've not played the game in several months and I myself am not a Windows 7 user. Good luck though

I added the DLL's suggested in the original post plus those suggested by Miraak. Then saw I didn't have vulkan-1.dll and installed the VulkanRT. Now I get an error saying saying "♥♥♥ CreateProcess() returned 2e4". thanks for the help regardless. Do you have it currently working?

You want to find the folder that has the letters matching the first one from each of these words;
Foxtrot
Charlie
Tango

I have a big trouble. I finished to download the v1.1 . But the next step to navigate the files. How can I find the way I should navigate?

Thanks for offering that information @MIraak !

This is no longer enough to work on W7
now the game seems to use dx11 features that were added in windows 8
however i managed to fix the issue by using a dx11 to vulkan wrapper
https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v1.9.2

extract the x64 binaries (dxgi.dll and d3d11.dll) in the same folder where u extracted the previous .dlls

It did help me, thank you.

I can't fix your desire to comment on a guide that does not effect you in any way. That is something that is unfortunately out of my control, additionally that you came back here to check if I'd replied which is even more embarrassing in all honesty.
