Hey OldManKillingU,
Nice tags btw 😃
Just one more suggestion I have - have you tried a repair of the game?
Go to the "My Collection" tab in the EA app - then look for the game - look for the 3 dots that signify the menu on the tile of the game - click on that and then click "Repair". Let the app do its magic and just to be on the safe side - restart (be careful I said "Restart" because that forces Windows to make an actual clean reboot not just a soft shutdown which is the default setting). .
Incidentally did you do a "clean" restart after installing the previous suggestions, if not there could be some outdated files still left on your PC 😉
Try again to run the game and let us know if it's fixed. 🙂
Cheers.
Zac. 🙂
@OldManKillingUI understand - it's frustrating that we're being forced to install software which we don't really want or need. But it is worth checking the install directory thing. My EA app was looking in totally the wrong place which caused issues. I'm not sure (and I don't want to know) where the licence key is stored but it seems logical that if the game isn't where the EA app is expecting to find it, that will throw up errors. But I await your reply 🙂
I have one more suggestion - however, it's several convoluted steps so I won't post that until I know one way or the other 😉
Update - the Visual C version you need to get that particular 110.dll file is Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Install that if you haven't already and remember always do a "restart" it takes a little longer to get back to Windows but it kills resident programs and clears the cache so you get a clean pristine Windows desktop. 🙂
Z 🙂
