Ok well what have you done? Doesn't work doesn't really tell us much mate.

[Epicurus]

Going through the forum, only suggestions are load the turbine file from the directory, which I tried, or a reddit post suggests taking a course in programming to fix. I was just cranky and wanted to offload, hence the post. Will look at it tomorrow when I have had a snickers. Prob try reinstalling then.

[KOOLLAYDTAC]

No worries mate. lol What OS are you using if ya don't mind me asking?

[Epicurus]

Win 10, it is the MSVCP and MSVCR file problem a couple of people have had I think.

Edit - link was incorrect

[KOOLLAYDTAC]

Awesome let me know if that works for ya mate. If not I'll google around some myself. I ain't doing anything except reading the forums right now while reinstalling some games. I am on Win 7 myself so wasn't aware Win 10 had issues with this game until now. I shouldn't be suprised though every new os has some issues at some point with older titles. Hope that fixes it for ya though mate.

Ok, this is the link for anyone that needs it

https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/confirmation.aspx?id=5555

I downloaded the 64 bit one initially, but that didnt work, the 32 bit version does the trick.

[KOOLLAYDTAC]

Awesome!!!! Glad it worked out for ya mate.

A newer version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable has been detected on the machine. :(

This fixed the problem I was having with the game after formatting my PC. Thanks for posting.

I freaking love you... yes I know that's strange becuase we don't kow each other, but you literaly just made my night. I've been looking for a way to get this darn game back up and running ever since I got my temp. computer. Nothing I followed from other online threads worked, however like 5 mins after posting my issue on here I scroll and woowzasss here is your post. I'm a tad dramatic..... anywho.. THANK YOU, I'm back in bussiness. <3


EDIT: Well I got further than I have before. (I made it to the login screen this time) However when i clicked sign in the screen popped up then went away again. Any suggestions on this?

some users download the game and it runs. others have to do all kinds of other steps. depends on your OS, other programs, security, network, libraries, graphics, hardware. these two artlicles might help:

1) Your LOTRO install has a '3rdparty' folder, you will find said file there
2) On almost all windows, right click said file and 'Run as Administrator' - or it will look like it is running but will not install
3) There is a second file there as well, same as first but ending in 'SP1' so run that as admin next
Enjoy!

On a clean W10 install you will need to run the DirectX installer from the Microsoft website too before everything works.
