If you are experiencing an error related to loading the Skalla.dll, the most likely issue is that your CPU doesn't support the AVX2 instruction set required to run the game.
If your CPU doesn’t support AVX2, the game cannot run. You’ll need hardware that meets the minimum requirements.
CPUs that support AVX2:
Intel Core series 4th generation and newer
AMD Ryzen 1st generation and newer
You can check if your CPU supports AVX2 using TechPowerUp’s CPU database.
However, if your CPU does support AVX2 and you still receive this message, the issue may be caused by BIOS settings, missing files, or outdated software.
Check AVX2 Support in BIOS
• Restart your PC and enter the BIOS (usually by pressing DEL or F2).
• Look for a setting called AVX, Advanced Vector Extensions, or similar.
• Set it to Auto or Enabled.
