"Unable to load ifm.dll" fix

its pretty simple not hard.
all you need to do is going to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2010"

as you can see there are two important things in this file:
- vcredist_x64
- vcredist_x86

to fix this issue you need to run both of them. setup and download them. after you finished the SFM will be fixed. and thats how you solve unable to load ifm.dll error. have a great day

You should point out that those files come from Steamworks common redistributables. It should automatically update when you download or update something.

You should to include the download link of those two files if they don't have those included in their PC.
