This just underscores how stupid Turbine is for requiring antiquated code.
Yeah, I'm not entirely surprised it didn't work outside of Steam, if only because the Steam version also downloads the libraries needed and does other stuff as well (*cough*Steam overlay*coughcough*).

I used the link over at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...v=vs.110).aspx to ensure it worked. And it did for the Steam version, at least.
