PvZ GW2 - Error - There is a problem with your games setup.

Hi guys, I bring some hope for ya all. I had tried all the following but still got the error ' there is a problem with your game setup, please reinstall the game'.

Note - Youtube videos regarding execution of all the below steps can be found on youtube. Other than reinstalling the game, I suggest you try out all these before going to the method that worked for me. I was troubleshooting for PvZ GW2 and turns out, reinstalling the game was unnecessary.

1. Repairing the game in EA app/Origin.

2. Reinstalling the game as well as EA app/origin.

3. Clearing EA Cache (https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/#ea-app).

4. Navigating to C:/Windows/System32 and find 'D3Dcompiler43.dll'. Copy the file and save it somewhere as a backup. Now delete the original. After that, restarting the PC and Installing DirectX from (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35).

5. Updating to latest drivers for your PC and running games on discrete GPU settings. (https://bestgamingtips.com/fix-problem-with-game-setup-reinstall-game/)

6. Installing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable latest supported downloads (for 64 bit system, installing both x64 and x86)
Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022
Visual Studio 2013 (VC++ 12.0)

All these can be found here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

Note - Older games might require Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable package which can be found on the same site as well.

7. Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30135)

8. If you are using N versions of Windows, Install Media Feature Pack (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/mediafeaturepack)

So now, if the issue still persists

1.open your file explorer and type the following to check error logs on your PC:

C:\ProgramData\Origin

Open the logs folder and check the logs for your game. In my case, it gave error - Missing DLL: [MSVCP120.dll] Error: 0x7E
upon searching for this error- 'missing MSVCP120.dll' on the web, I got some results and looked into this -(https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/missing-msvcp120dll-file/f0a14d55-73f0-4a21-879e-1cbacf05e906)

2. You can scroll down this site to find your answer or just do this.
click on the link (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-visual-c-2013-and-visual-c-redistributable-package-5b2ac5ab-4139-8acc-08e2-9578ec9b2cf1) scroll down and install x64 and x86 architectures. Then restart your PC.

Now try to run the game again, it might pop a error which I don't remember but I clicked ok and it worked but a little weird. But then I restarted the game and was good to go.

If this didn't work, then, you might need to search and troubleshoot more on the internet.

Hope this helps.
