Launch error failed to start the game
That is all it says, anyone else have this problem? i have not even managed to start the game.
I would really like to know if anyone else has got this problem, i dont see it online , please help!

its really frusturating it is not telling me why i cant start it.

Also when i validate the files, it keeps telling me 1 file needs to validate and will be calidated, but it never happens ,as the problem keeps presisting and same promt about the validated file keeps popping up.

I have said this many times in these forums but no-one ever confirmed it works. Anyway it worked for me.
I think there are problems between EasyAntiCheat and Microsoft C++ redist packages. Suddenly I was missing a dll file and got the 10018 error too which looks like to be pretty common problem with games that use EAC.
Check that Windows is updated and then what I did I went to the control panel > programs and chose C++ redistributable thing that had latest installation date, clicked remove > repair and done... game is working again.
So make sure you have all the packages installed and working.

I have the same problem and a really easy way to fix it is to watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xko-va3VeOE
Basicly what you will do is go to your files into steam and into the common and the F13Game folder. Then go to the EasyAntiCheat Setup folder then click once and run as administrater. Accept, Then click on the bar click on F13TheGame then download and your good. If confused watch the video

I had the same "missing MSVCP140.dll fille" on launch. This is how I fixed it (now the game runs fine). Follow simple procedure in this Y\ouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg23IXP66v8
