Hey fellas, recently I've encountered this error when trying to start up Battlefield 4 both on Origin and now on Steam as well (not sure why I thought it would've had a different outcome). I'm given the message "Invalid license. Reason code = Missing DLL: [MSVCP110.dll] Error: 0xC1". When first installing I had no issues with the game but then I got the platinum edition and this started happening. I've tried reinstalling, repairing, restarting, and even trying to reinstall the C++ microsoft redistributable thing and nothing has worked thus far. Anyone got any ideas on what could be the problem? I appreciate any help!

@StarGuy96 yeah just install the vcredist_x64.exe in the game files and it will work fine c:\Battlefield 4\__Installer\vc\vc2012Update3\redist\vcredist_x64.exe here is how to find it

just go into your Origin app window > My Games > right mouse click on Battlefield 4 box art graphic > click GAME PROPERTIES > WHEN LAUNCHING THIS GAME choose Battlefield 4 (x86) > click OK.

under programs and features, I had like six separate copies of VC++ 2012 installed. I un-installed all of the 2012 versions and re-installed using the one in the BF4 installer folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\__Installer\vc\vc2012Update3\redist). That worked for me.

They only need to be installed once as the DLL files get registered within the system, it can be a possibility that if you have managed to install the x32 bit Redist instead of the X64 that it might then give you an error

Yeah, at first I was coming up with an error code 0x7E Missing .dll of MSVCP110.dll. Then after I took a look at all of my VC + installs, I uninstalled all of the 2012 and newer versions, then went into the VC2012 redist files and reinstalled them like others had. Now, I am getting two more error windows, Missing MSVCP120.dll and MSVCR120.dll.
Becoming an epidemic and not sure what to do next. Ideas? Like maybe reinstalling the entire program?
