Microsoft Visual c++ runtime error

[SirDilly]

I bought this game with the full intent on sitting in my chair for 4-5 hours straight, and enjoying this game. I was pretty pumped for it. I tried fixing this error by restarting my pc and that didn't work. When I try to repair those visual packets I get an error with a long script of things that my pc explains to me. I'm redownloading the game to see if that will help. I'll paste the full thread of the error where the problem is. Weird thing though. I can play any other game and I get the same thing showing up on my scree, "...visual c++...," and the game will run. Tech heads please help. I'd hate to get my money back on something I'd love to play.

What is the exact error message you're getting when launching the game?

What error message did you get when you tried to "repair those visual packets"?

SQUAD WORKS ONLY ON 64 BIT OS

VS C++ Runtimes
Squad just gave VS C++ 2013 and 2015 errors. UE4 would not run..etc etc

1:
VS C++ 2013
You can download VS C++ runtime 2013 from the microsoft site google "VS C++ 2013 download"
Download the 32 and 64 bit versions.

If already installed uninstall them and reinstall the updated ones you just downloaded.

VS C++ 2015

VS C++ 2015 is located in your steam/steapapp/common/squad/redist directory

Firstly uninstall VS C++ 2015 from programs and features, then reinstall from the squad directory

Still Not working try this

Then I found developer mode.

1. on the task bar search "Windows Updates" and open.
2. On the left side of the panel click "developer"
3. Click Developer mode radio button, and continue through the warnings that you have control of your system and the software you put on to it.
4. Re-boot system

2:
First uninstall the Visual C++ 2015 program. Head to where Squad is installed and you can uninstall it from the redistro folder. I followed this guide for everything else:

"You can find the Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.msu at below.
C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\469A82B09E217DDCF849181A586DF1C97C0C5C85\packages\Patch\amd64\Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.msu
copy this file to a folder you like, and
> wusa.exe Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.msu /extract:XXXX
> DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:XXXX\Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.cab
> vc_redist.x64.exe /repair"

Now what you need to do is hit the windows key, type %programdata%. This will open the program data folder, and then follow the steps above to find the file. Now my file wasn't in that folder, it was in a different one so search your folders until you find it. Then once you find it, copy it, go to your squad install folder, and paste it in the visual c++ folder. Next, hit run and type cmd and right click it and go to file location. Copy your CMD file and paste it where you pasted the other file in the visual c++ folder where squad is installed. Now right click the CMD and run it as administrator. Now copy each line above next to the ">" one at a time and paste it in the command prompt, hit enter and let it run. Do that for every file. Once you paste the final line, the visual c++ window will pop up and you can now install it or repair it (thanks noquo89)

3: Windows 10:

uninstall the redist.x64 and x86 from Steam\steamapps\common\Squad\_CommonRedist\vcredist

And install Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 from here -> https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Make sure windows updates are all up to date as well.

4:This error message may occur on 64 bit operating systems when the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package is not properly configured.

1. Replace these files. mfc100.dll, mfc100u.dll, msvcr100.dll, msvcp100.dll and msvcr100_clr0400.dll

They can be found at http://www.bitdefend...e/file/dlls.zip

Please save these files to any location on your PC;

2. Please reboot your computer in Safe Mode
[How to restart in SAFE MODE]
- Restart the computer;
- Press the "F8" key (several times before Microsoft Windows begins to load; you need to press "F8" until you will be displayed a text menu;
- Select "SAFE MODE";
Note: for Windows 8, you can hold the Shift key while going to Power Off and clicking on Restart option
3. Access C:\Windows\System32;
4. Locate the 5 files you have downloaded and extracted;
5. Next, copy all those files to C:\Windows\System32 replacing the current ones;
6. Reboot in normal mode




Alternatively, uninstall both 2013 and 2015 C++ Redistributables, reboot and try and reinstall them. (Credit to SuicidalChair)

4: Upgrade to Windows 10 worked for some people
