game won't launch

[gilgalad9]

Downloaded game and everytime I try to play it says syncing for a second next to the games name on the steam window and nothing at all happens, on Win 10, newer system and shouldn't have any trouble running it. Trying restarting and redownloading but no luck, thanks

Have you tried verifying cache integrity?
Right click on Rebel Galaxy in your library, choose Properties->Local Files and then Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

[gilgalad9]

thanks for the suggestion, tried it, says all files are good but still same results

If it doesn't even make it to the launcher, that's pretty weird.
Browse to your steam folder, then into steamapps/common/rebelgalaxy
See if you can run the launcher.exe directly. It sounds like it's not even getting to the point of running anything.

Is the main menu popping up at all? Have you tried launching from the icon? Do you have admin rights on the system?

[gilgalad9]

thanks, did that and got message that it can't start due to missing msvcp110.dll, had the same problem with the witcher 3. got around it by downloading it dirrectly instead of using gog galaxy but since steam doesn't let me do that not sure what to do. downloaded a bunch of things suggested over several days but none of them fixed the issue so i'm worried i won't be able to fix it here since the suggested fixes didn't work for me before.

I think this might take care of you -

you may have tried this, but I'll throw it out there...

From the site WindowsForum:

SOLUTION

Ladies and gentlemen,

The entire Windows Live Essentials package, including Windows Movie Maker, can run in Windows 10. And not only that, but the entire reason for this problem is because Microsoft did not include the full Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2012 Runtime libraries in Microsoft Windows 10.

To solve this problem go to: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2977003

And, more to the point:

Download Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 from Official Microsoft Download Center

Upon installing these libraries (install both 64-bit and 32-bit if you are on 64-bit Windows), your problems are relatively solved. No restart is required and Windows Movie Maker, as well as so many other applications, will work fine in Windows 10.

Enjoy!

yep, tried that, but thanks, it seem to fix it for most people who get that messege, but not for me for some reason

In your windows folder, can you search for msvcp110.dll and see if it shows up, and if so, where?

[KingoftheDam]

I've had the same problem, msvcp110.dll showed up in a couple of different folders: a folder for my antivirus, sysWOW64, system32, and a few more folders by the same name within other folders with the name "migshim1"

Installing directly onto C: (the OS's drive) did NOT resolve this for Windows 10. I've got the same problem with missing dlls for the Steam version.

What does fix this for a 64-bit OS? Install the x86 Redistributable pack instead of the x64.

TY for links, devs!

In what is becoming a common problem for me, I just purchased this game and it will not launch. I have tried every suggestion in the thread and nothing has worked. Launching from the folder gives me the MSVCP110.dll error, which I believe I have. Unless this can be resolved soon, I will be asking for a refund.

Win10 is missing a number of C redist packages. Look at starting with 2010 and work toward the latest until the game works. I had to do this for another game with a clean Win10 tablet.

I had this exact problem when I downloaded Rebel today. Here's what worked
First, give your self admin privileges

Second, exit out of all unnecessary programs, including your web browsers (yes, this one too). And Steam for good measure. They interfere with msvcp110.dll being replaced. Copy paste necessary directions into a notepad.

Third, follow these directions: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-files/missing-msvcp110dll-on-windows-10/9af301ed-2877-4097-b22b-5a4761795e98?auth=1
"Method 2:
Click “Start”, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Search bar and press Enter.
Note: If UAC (User Account Control) window is prompted for permission to continue, please click “Continue”.
Double click “Volume Shadow Copy Service” and switch to “General” tab.
Change the “Startup type” to “Automatic” and click “Apply”.
Click “Start” and click “OK”.

If the issue persists, follow method 3.
Method 3: Download Visual C++ Redistributable
Download Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio from the Official Microsoft website. Install it once download. This step will replace the old corrupted msvcp110.dll file in most cases."

Doing just the downloading of Vis C++ didn't work for me. The missing part appears to be turning on Volume Shadow Copy Services and making it startup automatically.

HTH

I had the same problem, while in the Steam app, the game launch window would appear briefly then nothing happened. Ran the file directly and got the missing msvcp110.dll error message. I followed instructions per users above...I downloaded vcredist_x64.exe and vcredist_x86.exe. Ran each one while all apps were closed, and selected the repair option for each. I was able to launch the game afterwards.
