Kenshi

Game won't launch.
I've tried both official and experiemental.
I've reinstalled the game.
Removed all my mods.

But whenever I choose to launch the game it just "syncs" then nothing. I don't even get a logo screen or anything.

Anyone got any ideas or have had this problem before?

after you unistalled the game from steam, did you deleted Kenshi folder to? If not, try that

Try going to your games library right click on it and choose properties then verify files is I think what it's called. If there is a problem with some files it will fixe it.

I did both of those things, didn't work. When I tried launching the game from the game folder it told me that "mfc100u.dll" is missing. But when I verified files it told me no files where missing...

mfc100u.dll* Steam isn't letting me edit my post

I fixed it, it's a Visual C++ 2010 file, I just reinstalled it and it now works just fine.

lod_generator_x64.exe - Entry point not found
The procedure entry ponit could not be located in the dynamic library C:\common\Kenshi\los_generator_x64.exe.

It works but i got this error now. Fixing it one by one but may need help.

Make sure you have Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redistributable (64) installed on your computer--it contains the missing files msvcp100.dll - msvcr100.dill and mfc100u.dll.... you may also have to install visuall c++ 2013

Yes, thank you. I already figured this out 2 years ago :)

Anyone still having this problem currently, go here:
https://digicruncher.com/mfc100u-dll-is-missing-error/

The old links dont work anymore, and this is #1 result if i google "kenshi wont open" so i thought id post what worked for me.

its probably worth opening your kenshi.exe in your kenshi folder to see if you get the "dll is missing" error, since it wont give you that error msg if you start the game thru steam
