Because not everyone's machine is the same? Do you have all the same hardware? Just because we have the same OS means pretty much nothing.. And do you know how old those Vcreds are? They don't come with Win10 nor would you ever install them unless it was in a situation like this...

Right, VC++ Redist is rarely pre-installed, same for older DirectX versions - which often are required even for DX10+ games. Best thing is to always just start the "DirectX Web Installer" which installs all DirectX versions starting from DX9. Ensures that even old games like HL2 work.

Most gamers obviously have installed them over time. I assume most do use the feature of installers automatically installing it for you - same does Steam. You missed a version obviously.

Actually you always better running the Redist Package over the Web Installer it tends to "skip over things" The package push it all. But I think you kinda meant that, it's the full Redist that is in there 95% of the time.

I simpjy click 'play' in my steam library on Bioshock remastered, and I had no problems ever (win 10 home 64 bit).

This is deja vu all over again for me.

Don't remamber which game but some guy had problem running game getting error msgs which someone told him that he needs to install VC++ Redist for it.

I think it should be standard practice if you have problems with game running to check redist folders common found with game and check if its installed properly.

Yeah totally I'm guilty of not always checking folders but I have at some point so most of that stuff has been installed at some point anyway,

No no I never thought you were, just saying it's not something people including me think about.

Thanks you.

I have to say I just bought the game at the moment I'm writing and I experienced this bug. It worked for me and the game launched properly. I don't have play the game yet and I hope not to experience the crashes that people had during saving. Thank you all this topic saved my day.

So for everybody who's having a hard time finding _CommonRedist Folder here's how i found it:

- Go to Steam Settings ( Open Steam > Topleft Corner press on Steam > Settings > Downloads
- Open the "Steam-Libraryfolder" and mark the listed Folderpaths
Mine were "D:/Program Files(x86)/Steam" and "E:\Program Files(x86)\SteamLibrary"

- Next search in the "Steam"-folders for the "Steamworks Shared"-Folder
- I found mine in "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared"

- You'll find the _Common Redist Folder in there
- Then proceed to install vcredist_x64 / vcredist_x86 in \_CommonRedist\vcredist\2010
AND \_CommonRedist\vcredist\2012
-Finally install Direct X in \_CommonRedist\DirectX\ (there should be an .exe somewhere there)

Good Luck

thanks finally it worked. latest win 10 64bit

if you already installed all vcredist, just try to click repair (if the option available)

I repair/install all the vcredist version x86 & x64 from 2005 to 2017 in vcredist folder.
also install dxsetup in directx folder/subfolder (if available). also make sure you have latest direct x by downloading DirectX Web Installer from microsoft (just google "latest directx")


so stupid but at least the game worked now.
