SOLVED: after re installed from official site Vc_redist64x and vc_redist86x game worked (links attached below)
Battlefield 2042 Gold Edition on PC, just purchased this morning.
Every time I try to launch the game I get this error "There is a problem with your game's setup. Please reinstall your game." I have tried all of the fixes, install windows media feature pack (already had), reinstall direct X, reinstall visual studio C++ (already installed), verify game files, reinstall easy cheat, run files as administrator, repair game from Origin, finally uninstalled game and re-downloaded and still have the same problem.
Hope someone can help, thank you.
Edit - The log report from Origin said that I was missing "vcruntime140_1.dll", this dll for some reason did not get installed. Google led me to downloading VC_redist.x64.exe from Microsoft, after installing this I could finally play. Hope this helps someone else.
I found the log file located here - C:\ProgramData\Origin\Logs. This is where it was showing that I was missing that file.
Where do you put the new file once you download it? I found the vcredist executables and copied the exe files there, then I get the empty black screen at launch.
