2. Help! I can't start the sim!

You are most likely missing the WebView2 Runtime, which is needed for running the sim.

WebView2 Runtime Download

Click on the version appropriate for your operating system (most likely x64) under Evergreen Standalone Installer to download it, and once the download is done, click on the file that was downloaded on the bottom right sight of your browser to run & install it.

Installing WebView2 Runtime

What is WebView2 & why do I need it?

WebView2 is a framework for rendering web pages inside an application. It normally comes installed on your Windows 10 / 11 PC alongside Microsoft Edge, so you might need to install it separately if you're on an older version of Windows or opted to uninstall Edge.

We use it to render the tooltips for items that you get when you hover your cursor over them. They serve as hyperlinks to Wowhead, so as an added bonus you can click on them with your middle mouse button to open their Wowhead page on a tab on your browser.

In the future, we may switch to our own tooltips rather than Wowhead's so WebView2 might not be needed anymore. But for now you'll need to grab it to use the sim.
