Error occurs on all versions of Windows that are supported by the specified games.
How to solve the problem with qt5webkitwidgets.dll
Occasionally, such errors may occur after a renewal, due to the inattention of the testers, but the developers quickly correct the shortcomings. If the error appeared suddenly, in this case only one option will help - reinstall the Hirez Installation and Update Service application. Separately, it is not required to download - the distribution of this program comes complete with the game resources, regardless of version (Steam or Standalone).
Important note: The problem with this library cannot be solved by installing and registering the DLL in the system registry! In this case, this approach can only harm!
