Hello @CharroHWID,

It sounds like you’re running into a common issue with missing or misconfigured DLL files. Here are some steps you can take to resolve the errors you're experiencing with Need for Speed 2016:

1. Check System Requirements: Ensure your system meets the game’s requirements.

2. Reinstall Visual C++ Redistributables:

   • Uninstall all versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables from the Control Panel.
   • Download and install the latest versions from the Microsoft website. Be sure to install both the x86 and x64 versions.

3. Run the Game as Administrator:

   • Right-click on the game’s shortcut and select "Run as administrator."

4. Check for Corrupted Files:

   • If you’re using a platform like Origin or Steam, verify the integrity of the game files.
     • For Steam: Right-click the game in your library > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files.
     • For Origin: Right-click the game in your library > Repair Game.

5. Reinstall the Game:

   • If the above steps don’t work, consider uninstalling and then reinstalling the game.

6. Update Windows:

   • Make sure your Windows operating system is fully updated.

7. Check for DirectX and Other Dependencies:

   • Ensure you have the latest DirectX version installed. Sometimes games also require additional components that can be found in the game’s installation folder.

8. Check for Malware:

   • Occasionally, malware can corrupt files. Run a full scan with a trusted antivirus.

I hope the troubleshooting steps work.

Best regards,
