Unless you have windows updates on and connected to the internet!?
Also vcredist 2015 is a mandatory install with this game (Classic Installer) I haven't checked other newer games, anyone with offline gaming PC with the same problem?

vcredist 2015 turns on windows updates by itself when I specifically had windows updates disabled.

|1-1-0.dll is missing error - I can't attach any photos here unfortunately since I've started using Firefox on this phone.

P.s I'm honestly disappointed I feel my PC gaming days are coming to an end not because I want to but because I'm being forced to update windows which I will never do. I lost a lot of my years and health because of Microsofts devious tactics.

I feel like this:

In GOG we no longer trust™

What does this have to do with gog ?

its the fault of game developers and microsoft, not gog.

It's not the fault of anyone except progress. The shiny new features have dependencies which in turn have other dependencies. You can't do certain things efficiently on outdated software because the software wasn't designed to do those things.

I heard some games won't run on Windows 3.1 either. You can't trust anyone these days. For the record, this statement is BS. All you need is to have Windows 7 up to date. You don't need to be connected to the internet.

WHAT? Really? O_o

EDIT: ZFR says no.. That's annoying, if true.
But all of this is probably MS's fault, not Gog's..

Before disrespecting someone; know your facts about OS!
I have windows 7 pro with KB's that only come with offline installers. Redist 2015 is by far the worst of them since it's not exclusive to gaming. Not only does it change your service.exe settings but it has a lot of telemetry gathering bloat ware!

I've run multiple games on vcredist 2008 and 2015 and the difference in fluidity of games is quite mind boggling. Yes redist 2008 wins this contest hands down!

I'd suggest you try playing Witcher 3 on redist 2008/2012. Then we can Tango! Yes indeed it has dependencies on top of other dependencies and so on; which make games run like shit unless your rig is very well equipped.

Oh and I almost forgot!

Fuck Micro$oft and their fucked up windows 10! that soon you will have to pay each month to use it.

The what!?
You friend have a lot of trash in your computer!! Do your games run smooth at all?

Aww babies got hurt and start retailating by down repping :D

Truth hurts eh!?

Good luck with your windows. I'm sure you're going for the ride of your life!

Stop talking about yourself in third-person and plural.

You obviously have no idea how this works, so I'll shortly explain:

DLL means "dynamic link library". And it works exactly like library: It sits there and requires space, nothing else, as long as nobody needs to look up something.

These libraries contain objects and functions that other programs can use. Take for example a function to write a file on disk. This is by no means trivial, since you have to check for persmissions, check if the file is already there, disk space... and so on. So it would be really silly if every programming team would write their own implementation of "write file to disk" - for every single program.
So Visual C++ offers a library that can do that and that the dev can use. Because the program has to run on your machine too, you also need this library when you want to run the program. One solution is to pack that dll with the installer and put it you're program's folder upon installation - and that's what's often done. The dll is "redistributed", because it's by Microsoft but the dev of some other program puts it on your computer.
But since many programmers use the same dlls in their programs, there's the concept of redistributable packages. Those are installed and registered into windows, which means, every program that needs (i.e.) SaveMyFile.dll can use the one that Windows has, and doesn't need to bring it with them. Only the first program that needs it, has to trigger the installation of the redist-package.

To make a real-life comparison:

Programs are people living in a village. One of them wants to cook something. The hard way would be to learn the recipe by heart - but luckily he can look it up in a book - and he knows the exact page number (from a sticky note). In the first way described, he would have the books needed in his place. So he gets the book, opens the noted page and starts following the instructions.
Another one from the village also wants to cook the same thing - so she also needs the same books in her home.
If a hundred people want to cook this thing this gets pretty inefficient, since the same books are needed in every household.
Enter Redist-Package: in this case the village has a library. If someone needs to look at a recipe, he can simply go there. Much more space in people's places now.

But...
Here comes the versioning. Every single book can come in different editions. Recipes are extended, new ones added, some are axed. So every edition will have a different page layout. Our dumb citizens however, can only navigate the books with their sticky note system (they are programs after all) which contain only the book's title and page number. So if a citizen wants to make pudding, has all the ingredients and stuff, but catches the wrong edition of the book - he'll see the recipe for stew and will get utterly confused -> crash.
That's why the sticky note ALSO has the exact edition of the book needed along with the page number.
So for every citizen, the library needs to hold all the editions of the same books that could be needed.

So, to go back to my computer - I don't have trash, I have the different editions that different programs need. And it doesn't affect my computer's speed at all - much like it doesn't affect my movement speed if my bookshelf is full or empty.

What is effecting computer speed are things that are actually running: background tasks, drivers. A badly written audio driver can really bog a machine down as soon as it plays sound. Background stuff usually runs with low priority, so games aren't that much impeded (although too many of them will make a noticeable difference - and some are not very friendly and eat lots of CPU cycles). What's worse with a lot of background activity is that it will eat RAM, and if you don't have lots of it, this will make a difference.

Stuff like the VC redists however, like I wrote above, have no impact on performance at all. They take up space, yes... but not even that much. Most are about 20 MB. That's not even a dent in today's HDDs.
Were you talking to me?

Stop stop! You're a cat!

Thanks but I would in no way have installed that many vcredists on my PC. Your computer has too many recipies for my liking. Besides all these games that supposedly require vcredist 2015; really don't. Another example is grim dawn I'm running it on redist 2013 only because some other game totally requires it to run.

Dll's should come included with games is the bottom line! This way you can run it on vc10 which in all is best one after 08, rest is trash.

A game that comes with the dll runs with the dll it comes with, not any other installed dll, be that vc10, vc08 or vc17. That is the basis of dll hijacking after all.
