Ships At Sea Requires C++ Runtimes Already Installed

If Ships At Sea prompts you to install C++ runtimes that you believe are already installed, follow these steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Uninstall the Current Runtime:
    • Open the Control Panel on your computer.
    • Navigate to "Programs" > "Programs and Features."
    • Find the existing C++ runtime libraries in the list of installed programs. They are usually named something like "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (year)."
    • Select the runtime libraries and click "Uninstall." Follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation process.
  2. Download and Install the Latest VC C++ from Microsoft:
    • Visit the official Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable download page.
    • Download the latest version of the Visual C++ Redistributable packages for both x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) systems.
    • Once the download is complete, run the installers and follow the instructions to install the runtimes.
  3. Reboot Your Computer:
    • After installing the latest C++ runtimes, it is advisable to restart your computer to ensure that all changes take effect properly.
  4. Re-attempt the Game Installation:
    • Try installing or running the game again. It should now recognize the newly installed C++ runtimes and proceed without issues.
