First time setup every time?

Each time I run the game, I'm told by steam that it needs to run first time setup, downloading and installing the Microsoft VC redistributable. I've verified the cache and game integrity... am I missing something?

I'm running Windows 8, so I'm not yet sure how to select 'run as administrator,' but I don't know if that could be causing the problem.

I'd say that's a Steam issue, which means you probably want to talk to them, as Stardock has nothing at all to do with Steam.

Windows 8.... hmmmm not really sure....

In win 7, you have to regedit to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Valve\Steam\Apps\228260 and change VCRedist to 1

See if you have a DWORD of VCRedist? Usually, we have to change that data value to 1. *BUT* I have no idea if this works in WIN 8, and I do NOT have VCRedist listed in my registry for this app. I'm going to guesstimate that is has something to do with installing on 8 and it not cleaning up after itself. In which case just deleting the .vdf files out of the FE folder might be a wiser first step. Don't worry, you are not going to break the game, steam will fix it if you delete something you need.
