Having Trouble with a Game?
You need Help we’ve got you covered! Follow these essential tips to resolve common issues with games not running:
1. Disable Anti-Virus and Windows Defender Before Downloading or Extracting
Many crack files included with games may be flagged as false positives by your anti-virus software or Windows Defender, causing them to be quarantined. This prevents the game from running properly. Here’s how to avoid this issue:
- Before downloading: Temporarily disable both your anti-virus software and Windows Defender.
- After downloading: If you’ve already downloaded a game and the crack file has been quarantined, check your anti-virus vault or Windows Defender quarantine. Restore the crack file from there to ensure the game functions correctly.
- Pro Tip: Disabling your anti-virus before downloading and extracting can save you time and headaches.
2. Install Required Programs for the Game
To ensure the game runs smoothly, make sure all the necessary software is installed. Here’s how to check:
- Look for a folder named _CommonRedist or Redist in the game files.
- Install the applications included in this folder, such as:
- DirectX
- Visual C++ Redistributables (vcredist)
- Microsoft .NET Framework (DotNet)
- Installing these programs resolves most missing DLL errors, so you can start playing without interruptions.
3. Always Run the Game as Administrator
If you’re experiencing issues like the game not saving progress, running it as an administrator often solves the problem.
- How to do it:
- Right-click on the game’s executable file.
- Select “Run as Administrator” from the menu.
This ensures the game has the necessary permissions to save files and run correctly.
Notice: If you encounter a Hotlink Protection Error, it is likely because the UploadHaven link was accessed from a source other than the official Steamrip.us website. To resolve this, always ensure you are downloading games directly from the original SteamRip.us site. Manually copying and pasting the download link into a new browser window or tab can also trigger this error and should be avoided. Additionally, the Brave Browser is not supported and may result in the same issue. For the best experience, use a supported browser and follow these guidelines to prevent download interruptions.
