Missing .dll files?
Install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable:
-
Windows 64-bit: download and run
VC_redist.x64.exe -
Windows 32-bit: download and run
VC_redist.x86.exe -
Not sure which you have? Install both – it's safe.
After installation, restart your PC and launch the game as Administrator.
These files are part of the Visual C++ 2015–2022 runtime required by the client.
Missing DirectX 9 components?
Install DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) – required by older (v15) clients:
This package adds legacy DirectX 9.0c components used by the game. Having DirectX 12 on Windows is not a replacement. If you're unsure, just install it – it's safe and compatible with modern Windows.
Antivirus flags neuz.exe?
The warning about neuz.exe is usually a false positive. Older game clients can be misidentified by antivirus software.
- If the file was removed or quarantined – restore
neuz.exefrom quarantine. - Add an exclusion for your entire game folder in your antivirus / Windows Security.
- After that, run the launcher again (ideally as Administrator).
Windows Security (Defender):
Settings → Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Manage settings → Exclusions → Add or remove exclusions → Add a folder (select Giant FlyFF folder).
