i never had to do this for original games on any os.

windows needs this sometimes if you pirate, so does linux.

I didn't pirate anything

in any case you can download it from microsoft and run it to install.

OR, to make it simpler some launchers like heroic offer an option to automatically install it, it should be under the option winetricks or similar. dunno if thats your case tho.

Yes I'm aware. That's what I said I did. The point being that it wasn't as simple as it is on Windows.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

my point is it is exactly the same procedure as windows. you simply run the vcredist exe.

No it's not. It's installed and run in the background without any manual intervention or Googling.

in my experience, as stated before, this doesnt happen automatically every time on either platform.
