Fix for crash on startup.

[skibidi groilet]

If your game stops working when you launch it, this might solve the problem.


First go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\SleepingDogsDefinitiveEdition\redist\DXRedist

and run DXSETUP.exe


Then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\SleepingDogsDefinitiveEdition\redist

and run vcredist_x64.exe

Then restart your computer.

This worked for me on win7 64

Thanks for the info - glad to see you managed to figure it out! Would be good to hear if this solves it for anyone else, in which case ill be happy to sticky this.

Does the game work properly right after you've installed/reinstalled it?

[Skits223]

nope. I've tried everything man. Support won't help. Jumped through all the hoops and it was a waste of time.
