HELP! Game won't launch after Windows update. FIXED!!!

[Berry Harry]

I just got the latest Windows 10 update today (creators update) and now RL won't launch. I've tried other games and they do launch, but not RL. It will show the "launching" icon, but then boot me back to where the "Play" button is like I never clicked play in the first place. This literally only started happening after I did the Windows update, worked perfectly yesterday and I've tried every troubleshooting thing I can find but nothing works. Help!


UPDATE: Here's the fix for anyone else having this issue.

Go to control panel and uninstall these:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)

Then redownload them both here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

Run each as adminstrator and follow the instructions. Restart your PC. Bam, RL should work again.

I don't have Win10, so I am mostly just guessing:
According to a short google search, the Game DVR keeps messing with many games since the creators update.
Disabling it (just ask google) could fix your problem.

One sure-fire way to fix things is to use Linux, but that's what I would call that the "nuclear" option.

That's not a fix, that is running away from your problems and a bad suggestion.
Don't get me wrong, I love Linux and think everyone should use it. But when someone asks about a Windows problem, it is totally useless to suggest another OS.
I hate people suggesting "use windows instead" in every second linux thread, so we should not harass the windows community either ;-)

Went in and disabled Game DVR, same results. This is getting exhausting.

Exactly why I switched. My condolences.

Any other suggestions?

So I went here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rocketleague\Binaries\Win32\RocketLeague.exe
and tried to run the game from there. I got the following error.


"RocketLeague.exe – System Error

The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."


Any idea what this means or how to fix it? I’ve already uninstalled RL and re-downloaded it, but still had the issue so idk. I thought this might help.

Try reinstalling the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package. You can download it from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

Just did that and it worked! I guess they got messed up with the update or something. Thanks for the responses everyone. I'm glad I finally got the game working again.
