You need to update Direct X Runtime

how do you do that

i have the dll runtime and dll sting file but the game its not opening i need help!!!

What do you mean by it's not opening? Have you extracted it with the proper version of WinRAR?

"The program can't start because api-ms-crt-runtime-L1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

Please help I have tried things online to fix it and they don't work...

Try running Windows Update before trying to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Runtime and see if that helps. Also, check your system settings and verify whether your version of Windows is 64 bit or 32 bit (x86), and run the run the proper Visual C++ installer.

I have been doing that, and when I was doing it, the same two updates would always pop up after I try to install runtime. The updates said "no updates left to install" and that those 2 updates always installed correctly but I would always have the same problem, followed by he two updates popping up again. I have checked for updates since then and found more so hopefully it works soon. I am running the 64 bit version of windows 8.1 off a dual boot mac, that I just got set up so it need some a lot of updates

Hey I bought another computer and I can not figure out how to get my progress from my other computer to my new one. can anyone help me?

  • C
    • users
      • old login name/computer name
        • appdata (hidden folder)
          • Local
            • Shopsim
              • Saved
                • Savegames
                • Copy savedgame, or just copy the entire folder (may put new computer at risk due to settings maybe having a resolution out of bounds or something.)
          • Save to flashdrive or something
        • Transfer to same location on new computer (new login name/computer name though)

thank you:)

I can't play the game, it has too much lag! And I can't reduce the quality because of the lag!

I was able to get into the quality settings, but I will have to access the quality settings files and change the default settings before I can play the game without it crashing due to lag. I can play the game, but when I make a new game, it just lags like crazy. My computer can withstand up to 720p video quality, learned from YouTube, and yeah.

Okay, I actually got it working. Had to, well, change the shadow settings and the other things to get it working, but I gotit working at the speed of... 8+ frames per second/fps.

Can you tell me what did you do exactly, my game is crashing due to laggggs

can previous versions save games carry over to new updates or is it to unstable?

Do I have to redownload the game every time an update is released?

yes. There's an itch io app though I believe it manages updates much like any other platform's app

(1 edit)

I've got an odd issue, I double click the ShopSim exe, and get a loading mouse cursor for a few seconds, but that's it. the game doesn't start. I've gone as far as to install the unreal engine redistrobutable, along with any other required files mentioned in this thread, but that's the result I get


EDIT: Works fine with the itch.io app, still not with the none app download

no intentaste abrir como administrador?? (traduce this message pls)


ok so i have the game and its runing smoothy BUT, it says its alpha 0.0.9e but its not actually updated

0.0.9e is the most recent public build. If you're a patron, you have earlier access and dev-build version available, its labeled very differently

Yee
