ERROR: The program can't start because SDL2.dll is missing from your computer.

IMPORTANT NOTE. This is NOT SDL.dll, this is SDL2.dll. Please don't confuse the two.

I'm trying to start Space Engine but it's missing this dll. The program is not the kind of program that needs to be installed, so there's no reason to attempt to "reinstall" the program.

I just need to know where to safely acquire the SDL2.dll (no weird third party sites, please).

    SDL2.DLL should be in the library folder of whatever software installed it in the first place.  Have you looked/searched for it?  Have you contacted "space engines" developer?

    This happened with ROBLOX, if you know what that is. When I click play, a message saying SDL2.dll is missing.

    I think it says that because of the new updates that constantly come up on roblox today.
