Epingi’s Games Ultimate Guide on Running It Error-Free!

๐ŸŽฎ Before You Start: The Big Reminder

Make sure your PC meets the minimum system requirements for the game you want to play. If your system is too weak, nothing can help make it run properly; just look at that first

โœ… Steps to Run Any Game from Epingi.com

Hereโ€™s what you have to do once you’ve downloaded a game. Then you follow this list step-by-step, and youโ€™re good to go

๐Ÿ“ฅ Step 1: Download the Game Properly

Use the following tools for downloading

– Internet Download Manager (IDM) – you can get the cracked version from any trusted source online.
– Free Download Manager (FDM) – simple and free from the official website.

Now, if you have already downloaded your game using a browser, you may not need to worry this time. In fact, next time IDM or FDM would work much better.

๐Ÿ”’ Step 2: Temporarily Turn Off Your Antivirus

Before extracting;
– Turn off your Antivirus
– Turn off Windows Defender (Security)
Otherwise, the antivirus will delete the crack files, and the game won’t work.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Step 3: Add Game Folder to Defender Exclusion

Want to be with Defender but still not have problems? Exclude that as follows:

Make a folder named something like GAMES in any drive (D: is best).
Go to the Start Menu and search for Windows Security and open it.
Go to Virus & Threat Protection > Manage Settings.
Scroll down to Exclusions, and click Add or remove exclusions.
Lastly, add the whole GAMES folder here.
Now, anything you place in this folder will be safe from your antivirus software

๐Ÿ“ฆ Step 4: Install All Redist Files (VERY IMPORTANT)

Sometimes your game won’t even launch because it has missing DLL files or it has runtime errors. To fix those, install these:

Inside the _CommonRedist folder of your game, you should run each one of these as Administrator: dxwebsetup.exe (DirectX), oalinst.exe, vcredist_2015-2019_x64.exe, vcredist_2015-2019_x86.exe, vcredist_x64.exe, vcredist_x86.exe, xnafx40_redist.msi

Still getting errors? Try this:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Download and install VisualCppRedist AIO. It is a single installer for missing redist files.

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Step 5: Update Your Graphics Drivers

And then confirm that no Stone Age drivers are on that graphics card.

Right-click Start Menu > Open Device Manager

Go to Display Adapters

Right-click your graphics device > Click Update Driver

Choose โ€œSearch Automaticallyโ€ and let Windows do the rest

๐ŸŽฎ Step 6: Run the Game .EXE File

Find the main .exe file from the game (example: game.exe)

Right-click > Run as Administrator

If multiple .exe files exist, try all until you discover the correct one

Sometimes it is in a subfolder, so donโ€™t be lazy, dig around a bit

๐Ÿ” Optional but Very Useful Tips
๐Ÿ“‚ Always extract to the Same Folder

Extract your game into the GAMES folder you excluded earlier. This avoids any antivirus messing with your files again

๐Ÿ”ง Still not working?

Check that:

– You’re free of Redist or missing DLL
– Antivirus did not delete anything
– Don’t Extract when Antivirus is ON
– Enough space on the drive

โ“ FAQ – Common Troubles Questions

Q1. Game not launching after install?
๐Ÿ‘‰ Keep the exception folder clear so that the antivirus isn’t deleting any cracks. Re-extract that game into your exception folder.

Q2. Getting missing DLL errors?
๐Ÿ‘‰ Install the _CommonRedist files or use VisualCppRedist AIO.

Q3. File was blocked or deleted after extracting?
๐Ÿ‘‰ Before extracting, turn off antivirus and Windows Defender or use an excluded GAMES folder.

Q4. Can I keep Defender on while using games?
๐Ÿ‘‰ Yup, just make sure your folder is excluded properly.

Q5. Download too slow?
๐Ÿ‘‰ Use Internet Download Manager (IDM) or Free Download Manager to boost speed.
