Runtime Error! Program: ...d Meier's Civilization VI\2KLauncher\LauncherPatcher.exe

[ARMAn'AK]

When I start the game I get an error: Runtime Error! Program: ...d Meier's Civilization VI\2KLauncher\LauncherPatcher.exe The game won't launch without the launcher either. the same thing happens with the second game on this launcher: XCOM2

Runtime Errors happen for a lot of reasons, but in this case, I'd be willing to bet it's because you're missing one of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables.

If it doesn't prompt you to, restart after installation. Hopefully that fills in any of the files you're missing.

Bypass the launcher ?

[ARMAn'AK]

There is no need to advise restarting Windows and installing C+++, this has all already been done several times. bypassing the launcher also does not work; launching the game from the executables folder did not produce any results.

OK, so find the location of the Launcher, right click on it and select "Run As Administrator", and if an error pops up, copy and paste the error message here. I'm also assuming you're running on Windows.

(Mine is located in: "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\2KLauncher\LauncherPatcher.exe" -- Yours may be C:\.)

Have you verified the game's files?

OK, so yeah... Pretty sure you're missing one or more files from the C++ Runtime Library. I would imagine "Verify Game Files", as posted above, should download the missing file(s). If not:

(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170)

For the ones you already have installed, you should be able to go to Control Panel > Uninstall a Program, and click "Uninstall" on the ones you already have. You should be prompted to "Uninstall" or "Repair". Repair will fix any corrupted files, and download any missing files from that pack.

Edit: I'm looking for it now, but I'm pretty sure there's also a folder in the Civ VI directory that contains the necessary C++ Redistributables.

Edit 2:
"C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\LaunchPad\vc_redist.x64.exe"

^--- You should be able to just navigate to that location in your directory, double click the "vc_redist.x64.exe" file, and it will install all the necessary files.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Bemühungen. Aber ich habe das alles getan, bevor ich hier geschrieben habe

[ARMAn'AK]

Mir scheint, das Problem liegt tiefer, ich bin gerade nicht in meinem Land. Vielleicht hat das etwas damit zu tun

[ARMAn'AK]

the problem is not solved...

I have the same problem. None of these solutions works.

I recently added master of magic to the games library and since then Civ Vi stopped working. I was literally playing it 15 minutes before I loaded mom and then bought and installed mom and BOOM, civ vi will not launch. C++ runtime was and is up to date. All files verified.

Re-installed civ and even steam and it still has the same error.

Ja, mein Freund, ich habe auch alles gemacht! alles möglich! Ich verhandele derzeit mit dem Spiele-Support – 2K. Sie versuchen mir zu helfen, aber seit 2 Wochen hat nichts funktioniert. Es gibt überhaupt keinen Support von Steam

Das mal versucht?
