I got my game to play, uninstall all old vc++ packages and install the latest ones from windows only, give it a try 🙂

    @chocckola Glad to hear that!! 🙂 I've tried that though, I'm afraid to do it again because all but 1 package seems to be working right now and I don't wanna break the good ones, haha.

    @yahel_1 @crinrict By the way all, my vrcedist_x64 file is NOT in my vc2013 folder right now. It's in my downloads. Just a heads up. I feel like it should be, should I put it there?

    You can run it from any folder. It doesn't have to be in Origin.

    @crinrict @yahel_1 I put the vcredist_x64 in my vc2013 folder, repaired it, restarted, and tried to install, and I got "Error: The VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. {1}". I took it out, tried to install and I got "Error: The VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. (false)". Neither seems to work ☹️
