Missing .DLL file error
I bought this game 2 days ago and it wouldn't launch at all. I would open up the game, and withing 5 seconds it would close. No black screen, no error message, nothing.

I attempted verifying the game cache integrity twice, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, I ran a clean boot three times, uninstalled many programs that were said to be interfereing with my program, and even disabled Windows Firewall (my only security system). And yet, the problem persisted.

I got the idea to go into the game files and open the game directly from there. When I tried, I got a system error that goes as this:

"The program can't start because MFPlat.DLL is missing from your computer."

Since I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the program, I do not know how to acquire this missing .dll file. Any suggestions?

My PC meets and exceeds the minimum requirements:
i7 4790k
16GB RAM
R9 390
Windows 7 64-bit

It looks like it's related to a media pack option. This is usually a issue for people using Windows N versions. You don't mention you have a N version so this may or may not help you. N versions are typically used in Europe.

BO3 requires the media pack to play.
