Hey everyone,

Jumping in here to clarify a few comments on this topic.

Reinstalling VC++ is not harmful to your PC and is a valid troubleshooting step to do and something we do recommend that you do if you have an issue with games.

If the program is not installed then the game won't run as they are a needed program to run games with.

If you have any questions let me know.

Wanna just ask, when I'm trying to launch APEX, anti cheat window will just pop up, and then it dissapeard and then I can wait how long I want, but it won't start.

Don't u know what can I do about it? You think that Reinstaling VC+++ Would help?

Just in case this is something i created and its my current Visual C++ installation, you can try and get the Visual C++ installs like in the picture if it doesnt work come back to the topic and post your problem have a nice day
