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.

Not reinstalling they said uninstalling versions the game isn't even supposed to be using. Which is bad advice, don't defend it... and as a community manager, too, lol.

I am not going to break older games and C++ dependent programs just to make one new game work, it's not a solution, it's a work around. This is an issue that needs a patch, not a bunch of people farting around with drivers and programming libraries in the forums.
