goopdateres_zh-TW.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like goopdateres_zh-TW.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like 79.0.3945.88_chrome_installer.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Google Chrome) could share the same goopdateres_zh-TW.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when goopdateres_zh-TW.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Google Chrome is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common goopdateres_zh-TW.dll errors include:
