Re: [CURRENT ISSUE] Error messages with MSVCP140.DLL/VCRUNTIME140.dll

@x_minatureI had this too.

You have to download Microsoft Visual C++. It should have been included in the update but this doesn't seem to work for all players.

I went to this page:

https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

and installed vc_redist.x64.exe. That fixed the problem for me and other players.

For more information read this thread:

EDIT: The Microsoft link above is for German speaking players. Here is the English version:
