Could not load library client

Install the Visual C++ 2013 redistributables.

Re-Install the Visual C++ 2013 redistributables and reboot your PC.
They can be found in <Steam-folder>\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared\_CommonRedist\vcredist\.

Note: If you are still having problem, uninstall every instance of Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 and install the latest version trough Microsoft's own website which you can find here: Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013.

Only x86 is required, once installed reboot your PC.

If the game still crashes while running it on Windows 10/11, run the game under Windows 7 combability mode. This should fix the issue where Windows fails to read and/or find Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Packages.
