I have attempted so search for similar issues but I haven't found anything yet that relates fully to my issue. So far I have tried updateing my windows, updating the visual basic compiler, following the instructions on this link (https://github.com/m-byte918/AgarOSS/issues/8), installing from the github repo and updating prequisite python packages with no luck so far. Any and all help/ideas is much appreciated!

Answer 1

It is trying to compile C++ code. Your compiler (gcc 5.3.0) is too old, as the error message implies:
This file requires compiler and library support for the ISO C++ 2011 standard. This support is currently experimental, and must be enabled with the -std=c++11 or -std=gnu++11 compiler options.
Updating the visual basic compiler won't fix that, you need a newer gcc version.
(Technically you might also get away with squeezing the -std=c++11 flag into that whole process somehow, but I'd say updating gcc is going to be easier.)
