The ultimate game running guide!!
You just downloaded a game from GamerRoof.com, and it doesn’t work? Chill, don’t freak out. I’ve got your back. Here’s a step-by-step way to have your game running smoothly like butter – no hassle, no errors. Just follow this checklist properly, okay?
🎮 Before You Even Think of Playing…
👉 Check your PC specs first.
I’m serious. If your laptop is older than your school bag, nothing will work.
Make sure your PC meets at least the minimum system requirements for the game. Google it like “Game name + minimum requirements” – easy stuff.
✅ Steps to Run Any Game You Download From GamerRoof.com
Here comes the magic steps! 👇
📥 Step 1: Download Your Game Like a Pro
Stop using the browser to download games. That’s like using a cycle in a drag race.
Use these:
IDM (Internet Download Manager) – get the cracked one from anywhere you trust 😉
FDM (Free Download Manager) – free and clean from the official site
With these downloads, your files will be downloaded faster, safer, not easily damaged, and not corrupted
🔒 Step 2: Turn Off Antivirus Temporarily Before You Extract
Yeah, I know. Sounds risky, but no worries…
Antivirus usually deletes crack files, thinking they are viruses (false alarms).
Before you extract the zip/rar file, turn off your antivirus and Windows Defender.
Turn them back on once the game is running
🛡️ Step 3: Add Game Folder to Windows Defender Exclusion List
If you don’t wanna completely turn off Defender, then do this:
Create a folder named something like GAMES on your D: drive.
Open Windows Security from the Start Menu.
Go to Virus & Threat Protection > Manage Settings.
Scroll down to Exclusions, click on Add or Remove Exclusions.
Now, add the whole GAMES folder there
Now, anything inside that folder is safe from Defender deleting stuff.
📦 Step 4: Install All the Redist Files (VERY VERY IMPORTANT)
Sometimes the game crashes or just refuses to launch, that’s usually due to missing .dll files or runtime stuff.
Now the best thing to do:
Go inside the “_CommonRedist” folder of your game
Run as Administrator the following files:
- 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 having problems?
👉 Download VisualCppRedist AIO– it installs ALL redistributables in one go.
🖥️ Step 5: Update Your Graphics Drivers
You will not believe what problems having an outdated graphics driver creates.
Right-click on Start > Device Manager
Display Adapters
Right-click your graphics card > click Update Driver
Select Search Automatically and let Windows handle the rest
🎮 Step 6: Run the Game .EXE File Like a Boss
Go to the game folder, find the main .exe file (like gta5.exe, eldenring.exe etc.)
Right-click it > Run as Administrator.
If you see more than one .exe file, try them all one by one
Sometimes it’s hidden in a subfolder like bin or Game, so don’t be lazy, dig it out!
🔐 Bonus Tips That Save Lives
📂 Always extract to the same folder (GAMES folder)
Keeps everything neat and avoids antivirus alerts. Makes troubleshooting easy
🔧 Still Getting Errors?
Double-check this stuff:
- Were all the redist files installed?
- Did the antivirus delete anything?
- You extracted AFTER turning off antivirus?
- You have enough space on your drive?
If it’s yes to all and you are still not able to run it, read the next section
