So I installed GoW on main machine and installed the 3 title updates but still I get a runtime error message saying that the application decided to exit in an unusual way. I updated my C++ Redist 2005 SP1 and 2008, but to no avail. What should be my next steps?

It's maybe because of safedisc drm not compatible with w10.

Yes, I used a no cd crack but the error still shows up.

Now I checked event viewer which says its a problem with msvcr80.dll. That's a MS C++ Redist, but I don't know what to update next. I also don't know which version of C++ redist this file belongs to.

That's VC2005.
