How To Install Lies of P Overture Bundle Without Errors in 2025 (FitGirl Repack)
This whole process can be a bit of a headache if you’re running into DLL errors, installer freezes, or just plain unsupported OS drama. Honestly, sometimes Windows security or missing dependencies make the install crawl to a halt. The goal here is to walk through the most common pitfalls and how to sidestep them so the game actually runs after installation, without spending hours troubleshooting.
How to Fix Common Installation Hiccups for Lies of P Overture Bundle
Disable Windows Security Real-Time Protection — Temporarily
This is often a must-have before starting the install; Windows Security tends to freak out over repacked files or certain game components. Cutting off real-time scanning stops it from blocking DLLs or setup processes mid-way. Just remember, after install, it’s better to turn it back on for safety. Sometimes, this step alone fixes errors like “missing DLL” or “installation corrupted.”
- Go to the Start Menu. Type Windows Security and open it.
- Pick Virus & threat protection.
- Click Manage settings under the section.
- Switch off Real-time protection. Might need admin privileges. Pro tip: some setups require a restart of Security or even the PC for changes to fully take effect.
Start the Installation and Watch for Quick Errors
With security loosened, double-click the setup file (usually in your downloads or extracted folder). If UAC (User Account Control) pops up, hit Yes. Follow whatever wizard pops up — most of the time, sticking with defaults works, but if you see options for including dependencies, choose the ones needed (like DirectX, Visual C++ Redistributables). If the installer freezes or crashes here, try re-downloading the files. Sometimes corrupt archives cause weird issues.
Adjust Installation Settings for Compatibility
This step is kinda obvious but missed often. Make sure the install location is in a folder with write permissions, ideally outside Program Files (like C:\Games\LiesOfP) since Windows sometimes blocks certain writes there. Check that your system specs meet the minimum—especially RAM and GPU. On some setups, disabling background apps helps avoid conflicts. Also, if you’re customizing installation options, e.g., setting specific directories, pick paths without special characters or spaces; Windows sometimes chokes on those.
Add Game Folder to Windows Security Exclusions
This step is gold for stopping Windows Security from nabbing components of the game after installation. It’s weird, but even after temp disable, Windows can flag the game folder later, causing crashes or launch errors. So, go to Windows Security, then Add or remove exclusions. Click Add an exclusion, pick Folder, then browse to your game install folder (like C:\Games\LiesOfP) and add it. This prevents false positives from antivirus scans later on, especially after game updates.
Re-enable Windows Security & Dependencies
Once the folder is excluded, re-enable the real-time protection. Go back to Virus & threat protection, toggle it back on. Also, if during installation or first run, you’re prompted to install DirectX or Visual C++ redistributables, do it right away. Sometimes, missing dependencies cause the game to crash or refuse to launch. Follow any prompts, and if something seems off, install those manually from the official Microsoft websites.
Double-Check Game Files & Compatibility
After install, run the game executable directly from the install folder. If it crashes or says files missing, try verifying the files or re-running the dependencies installer. On some setups, Windows’ UAC or antivirus can still cause issues, so consider running the game as administrator (right-click > Run as administrator). Also, ensure your graphics driver’s up to date; old drivers can create weird incompatibilities.
Extra Tips & Troubleshooting
If errors persist, examine logs if available, or check forums for similar issues. Sometimes, older Windows versions or missing system updates cause conflicts. On some machines, a clean reboot after all changes helps the system settle. And don’t forget, keeping your system, GPU driver, and Windows updated is life. Because of course, Windows has to make it harder than necessary.
Summary
- Disable Windows Security real-time protection before setup.
- Install the game, paying attention to dependencies.
- Add the game folder to Windows Security exclusions.
- Re-enable security protections.
- Verify game files and dependencies, run as admin if needed.
Wrap-up
Basically, if this process seems overkill, it’s because Windows security settings and missed dependencies are the usual culprits keeping games from behaving. Once these steps are sorted, most errors go poof. On one machine it worked after just disabling security; on another, I had to run a few commands or update drivers, but hey—progress. Hopefully, this shaves off a few hours for someone. Fingers crossed this helps.
