🚨 Got This Scary Error Message?

🎯 What Causes This Problem?

Think of your computer like a toolbox 🧰:

• Your computer has new tools (files) in its main toolbox
• FerocityRO came with old tools (files) in its own toolbox
• When they try to work together, the old tools don't know how to use the new tools!
• So we need to remove the old tools and let the computer use its newer ones

🔍 Step 1: Find Your Game Folder

First, find where your FerocityRO game is installed:

1. Right-click your FerocityRO shortcut → "Open file location"
2. OR search your computer for "opensetup.exe"
3. This folder is where we need to work!

---

🛠️ Step 2: The Easy Fix

Look for a file called dbghelp.dll:

If you see this file:

1. Right-click on dbghelp.dll
2. Choose one option:
   • Delete it completely (safest option)
   • OR rename it to dbghelp.dll.old

Why this works: We're removing the old broken tool so your computer uses its newer, working tool instead!

---

✅ Step 3: Test the Fix

1. Try running opensetup.exe again
2. It should work now! 🎉

🔄 Still Not Working? Try These Extra Steps

If the error still happens, also remove these files (if they exist):

Other old files that might cause problems:

• msvcr71.dll - Remove it
• msvcp71.dll - Remove it
• mss32.dll - Remove it
• granny2.dll - Remove it

How to remove them:

1. Look for each file in your game folder
2. If you find any, delete them or rename them with .old at the end
3. Try opensetup.exe again

🤔 What If I Can't Find dbghelp.dll?

Don't panic! Sometimes the problem file has a different name:

1. Look for files ending in .dll
2. Focus on ones that look old or have weird names
3. Try removing them one by one (but rename them first so you can put them back!)

💾 Safety Tips

Before deleting files:

1. Make a backup folder called "Old Files"
2. Move problem files there instead of deleting
3. If something breaks, you can put them back!

Think of it like: Putting old toys in storage instead of throwing them away - just in case you need them later! 📦

🎯 Why This Happens

Simple explanation:

• FerocityRO is older and came with old computer files
• Your Windows computer got updated with newer files
• The old and new files don't play nice together
• Removing the old files lets Windows use its better ones

It's like: Having an old remote control that doesn't work with your new TV! 📺
