THIS worked for me.Havent played BF in a while, and suddenly this error message came up. Tried the Files from my own Redist folder, but no change what so ever,. Downloaded the new files and installed them from my download folder. The game is now running like before. Thank you so much!! =)

yeah you've got to know which year's visual c++ you're updating. In my case i was getting very frustrated not being able to run the game after a windows updated last week. i followed the above advice and updated c++ 2013 (the latest version on my machine) but it didnt help. EA Support helped me in the end - its the 2012 version that needed updating. Try this www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=30679
