"FATAL ERROR in Vertex Shader ..." fix

Hi there!
We have noticed (not for everyone) that the game shows up an error about "Vertex Shader bla bla bla" on launch. The reason is that you have no DirectX runtime installed. We've added it to default installation redists. But if you have an error appearing again and again, you can install the runtime from here:
DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer

Hope it will work for you!
