(Solved) C++ Runtime error?

[Hebrux]

Anyone have a fix for this? It happens when I load my game. The type of mod I have loaded doesn't seem to matter and I have a feeling this can happen with unmodded games as well

Hi, never seen this error before, but I know there's an installer of Microsoft's Visual C++ Redistributable inside the Civilization 5 folder. You can find it by clicking on Civ 5 in your Steam library -> click on the Gear icon -> Manage -> Browse local files. Then inside the folder that opens, you can click the VCRedist folder and click on the .exe that's inside that folder.

If that doesn't work, you could try re-installing the game completely. But beware, there's a very big chance that, by re-installing the game, you will run into the new 'Updating Executable' error, which has been reported a lot lately.

Edit: Some people suggested that it actually does have to do with the mods they used, see this Steam post for example.

Yeah I finally got the updating executable error resolved and been playing for the last week. Now I'm getting this stupid error and I havn't been able to find a solution anywhere.

I also tried what you suggested and clicked on the vcredist file but nothing changed

For those who have this same issue in the future.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like I can retrieve my saved game. It has been corrupted.

The fix ensures that I won't have this issue again in the future, unless I reinstall Civ 5 and forget to turn off cloud save again.
The fix tells you to re-enable cloud saves but I personally decided to keep it off so that this cloud sync issue which led to my crash never happens again.

Fix:
