Hey bro here's what worked for me. I just did a post on it.

So I've seen a lot of posts about people launching the game and nothing happens. Took me a whole night to fix but this is what worked for me. So your microsoft windows system needs to be updated with the latest update. This is so that you can install the vc redist package properly ( Even though Steam says it has been installed it actually hasn't properly and this is the problem)

So what you need to do :

1- update windows with all the latest updates and restart your pc.

2- After restarting open up properties of DBZ xv2, click local files and then browse local files.

Open Common Redist file.

Open Vc Redist File

Open 2015 file

3- Here you will find the two files Vc Redist x64 and Vc Redist x86. Open each one and click repair.

4- Restart your pc and you should be good to go.

Note: the reason why your pc has to be updated to with the latest updates is because if it's not ,you won't be able to repair the Vc Redist files properly and you can't play the game without them.

Hope this helps guys as it did me !!!!
