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

i tried repairing my c++ vs'12, and open game launcher without success..
then with steam closed down and exited, i downloaded and repaired my existing c++ vs'12 package (x64) to no avail (steam prompted an error msg tho, despite i shut it down)..
i followed up with c++ vs'12 x86, and without rebooting my pc, and from within steam, my game launched..

i have win7 pro x64, and i do believe the x86 file was, what mattered in my case

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

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!

Make sure to get the x86. I kept installing and unstalling with progress, but then installed the 32bit and now it seems to be working for me.

Same issue here, tried "sfc /scannow" which did fix an mscore.dll but not mfc110u.dll. Reinstalling vcredist for visual studio 2012 did not fix either. Game does launch if you don't use the Steam Launcher and launch the other executable in the folder. RebelGalaxySteam.exe instead of SteamLauncher.exe under steamapps->common->RebelGalaxy

im having the same exact issue, and nothing here has resolved it. also got like a mfcsomething error as well as the msvcp one. tried downloading the run time stuff, verifying. and all i get is the butting switches to blue, then goes right back to green. cant even run by clicking either of the icons in the folder of the game.

I bought the game today in the afternoon. Downloaded, and pressed button Play ... and nothing happened. And as Im reading that other people have the same issue as me, Im really annoyed. It is not our job to test all the setups, or Microsoft software, etc .... if the product does not work, the Steam service should do something with it asap ....

It is not the developers job to 'test every possible PC hardware/software setup'. Being a PC, it is your responsibility to ensure your computer has all the correct drivers and software installed.

Otherwise, I hear console's are fully controlled for you and you don't have to worry about if software will run on it or not.

I know it's years later but I think I might have the solution. If you are using MSI Afterburner, try "killing" it with the task manager and closing it in the system tray and try opening the game.

I had launch problems as well, installed a driver detection software and now it launches just fine. So if the solutions listed above doesn't help you should check on your drivers.

I know this is a 2017 post & necroing is very bad.
But this is also the top post that comes up when googling.

Nothing worked for me except using Repair with the Visual C++ Redistributable x86
I have a 64bit system, but apparently the x86 is what fixed it
