Game Won't Start

[Nathaniel... Uhhh]

I recently purchased this game because EA is crap and I wanted the nostalgia of PS2 games. The game won't start, even after I verified the game files.

I dove into the game files, ran exe files, until I ran BattlefrontII.exe that gave me the error,
"MSVCP120.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error."
I followed the advice on installing the updated C++ packages (2017), but it still hasn't worked. Not only that, but I also get another dll error for LogiLDA.dll which was Logitech Download Assistant stuff. Can someone help me.

Edit: Works on other computer without any issues, still want answers.

Another Edit: Here is all of the things I tried which turned up nothing:
-Verified Game Cache
-Closed Steam Completely
-Installed Up-To-Date C++ Redistributable Packages
-Restarted PC

When do the edits stop:
I have also resorted to replacing the msvcp120.dll, which also didn't work, on to .NET framework updates, I noticed the latest is 4.7 (I have 4.6)

I did try that before the C++ package installs, i'll try it again.

Turn on Stereo Mix (Right click the speaker in the bottom right, assuming you use Windows, open Playback Devices>Recording tab> Right click Stereo Mix and click Enable.)

If that doesn't work, reinstall the game, mods can replace regular game files.

I enabled Stereo Mix and it didn't work. I will uninstall and reinstall it. On my other computer, the game works perfectly.

if your game crashes on a modded map/etc uninstall it and reinstall.
