Remove all Visual C++ versions from your computer (IO bit free uninstaller recommended but not necessary)Restart your computerGo to:C:\Program Files (x86)\OriginInstall ONLY the versions that are in that map: vcredist_x64, vcredist_x64_vs2010, vcredist_x64_vs2015, vcredist_x86, vcredist_x86_vs2010, vcredist_x86_vs2015Restart your computerLaunch the Game from Origin and make sure FULLSCREEN mode is usedFinding this solution that works took me about six hours of trial and pain, I hope someone can now enjoy the gameBefore I tried alot of other methods like repairing Easy Anti Cheat, Reinstalling the game, repairing the game ALL DID NOT WORKBYE NOW

Your advice is desperate!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE DO THIS !!Remove all Visual C++ versions from your computer (IO bit free uninstaller recommended but not necessary)Restart your computerGo to:C:\Program Files (x86)\OriginInstall ONLY the versions that are in that map: vcredist_x64, vcredist_x64_vs2010, vcredist_x64_vs2015, vcredist_x86, vcredist_x86_vs2010, vcredist_x86_vs2015Restart your computerLaunch the Game from Origin and make sure FULLSCREEN mode is usedWarning: Don't do it !!If you use software that works well, then the above will mess with your system.Very bad advice just to play a game. Do not remove VC just to get this game to work. The problem is with EA and not your system.Please read my posts for clarification.

DONT DO THIS Visual C++ is not somthing you remove at all

I do believe you could be a touch more responsible with your posts Bluelagoon2018Your advice is BAD full STOP .If people are formatting drives to play this game then they have nothing better to do with there computers, your * advice just makes the world more convoluted than it needs to be.Stop posting nonsense and stop asking me to explain myself.I think YOU should leave it.Your done here and reported.

Best way:Uninstall game APEX...Uninstall Origin app..Play another game..that work form my ..and work great...🙂

Visual C++2017 replaces version 2015, if you have 2017 installed you wont be able to install 2015...

Remember that there might be applications or games on your PC that need 2017 in order to run.

The majority of people have voted my approach as not recommended, make sure you have a back of every Visual C++ so you can restore it if it doesnt work for you

Make sure x64 and x86 versions of Visual C++ are running the same version because:
If you install alot of applications or games it might cause a difference in version between x64 and x86 (So if Visual C++ 2010 x64 is version 10.0.40219.325, the x86 version needs to be also this and not 10.0.40219.1 for example)
Check using iobit uninstaller of windows program uninstaller if you have multiple versions of the same Visual C++ running, you only need 1 version for x86 and 1 for x64 (So if Visual C++ 2010 x64 10.0.40219.325 is installed make sure to remove Visual C++ 2010 x64 is version 10.0.40219.1)
Make a habbit if you install any new drivers, games, software or other utilities to go back and check the presense of Visual C++ versions installed as they may install different versions in the background which are maybe older (do this if you have problems running applications or games)
If you make any removal or installation of Visual C++ make sure to restart your computer ( you can do a cold reboot by pressing ALT+F4 and selecting restart)
Always make a backup of your current Visual C++ installs and versions so you can go back in case somethings goes wrong

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.
