Game won’t launch after upgrade. Help! - Fixed by installing Visual C++ Redistributables

[CaptainRAVE]

So I upgraded from a 4770k to a 9700k. Still on my 1080Ti. Game launched fine before the upgrade, but now it won’t. Steam tries to launch it, then nothing happens.

I’ve tried:
- deleting all the config files
- verifying the game cache
- uninstalling and reinstalling

What else is left to try? My gpu drivers are up to date? I’ll check that compression is switched off. Chipset drivers? A Vulkan issue? Is there another way to try launching the game?

If nothing happens at all when you try to launch the game then that's usually a Steam client issue. Try exiting the Steam client completely (not just shutting the main window) and restarting it.

Thanks for the reply. When I try to run from the Steam folder at least it now gives me an error - vcruntime140.dll missing.

Reinstalling Steam, but may need to try fixing that dll issue. Unsure how currently!

Surprised WIndows didn't do that automatically when installed?

MSVC runtimes are not part of windows. Although by how many applications use them they might as well be.
