[mutatedcow.15]

Hello I have had this error for many Days, I have done an SFC scan, Added permissions in my firewall, I went through my trend micro security and there is no exceptions page, and I really need help because its also happening to my other games. Pleas someone Help me. I beg you. I have spent days on trying.

Well you've left out a bunch of info. Like what the error related to you seem to be referring to a game, because you mention other games. You might want to name it specifically.

Also what are your system specs?

Has the game in question ever worked?

When did it stop working?

Were there any changes, updates or upgrades to your system beforehand?

What have you tried to resolve the issue? Spending days trying should be a decent sized list. You should mention it so people don't waste time suggesting things you've already done.

Does it happen all the time, or just with one particular game?

Possible a VC++ corruption, sense its thridpart app issue and not need on a none gameing pc then its not part of SFC windows checking. and make sense why it cant fix it.

And it dont make it better then last tinme i google it , it point at app in MS and not a game.
thats why i thought maybe not a VC++ issue, but lets talk open about it we did no tmade it and dont know what cause this other then we are gamer here and what else is left something and same code area is seen near that with GPU and VC++ issue directX .net

Because rest of the file is game devs.

And it dont help then user is not computer nerd, because i can just point at
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

and say problem is with one of them files in the system, and if OP notice game devs and steam dont follower MS newest files. and problem in top of this depend on what game he has activated with newest VC++- version per game.

so technicaly reinstall OS and play a old game will also point at a old VC++, its here steam and game devs has a issue , and yet other can say your problem for not use MS page.

im sure helper here dont argue with do have newest files, i mean you need to proof newest version dont work for you. could be hardware has a issue with it. and thats so rare, and could happend.

i hope i explan myself good enough OP if not let other explan it to you.
and watchout for 2015 to 202+ because as you see they use same file but upgrade the current so game devs that copy a old file still use a old version and not newest from MS page.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 to 2022
im on 14.36.32532 now

problem is what game and do it use one of the older VC++

this you check in program and features


and im tired explan this to every steam user, ppl will soon get reply like update your pc
its not our job to tell ppl , what steam and games cant fix.
assuming im correct, and worst part is the error code also trigger if you dont have game requirement, if you try run newest game hardware dont have it do that also.

its a neat dump code for i cant do it captain, i just cant do it ( star trek reference from scotty ) it aient working.

so you have corruption of files to outdate version to you dont have what it takes in one error code.

and now it start to make sense why so many gamers has VC++ issue.
problem is you need game name and spec to ID all of this + VC build version and 1 of each 32/64 bit version install only from VC 2005 to 2022, depend on each game is made.

i have even seen a script force double version install on system dont do that game act odd.
you need to recheck current install VC++ files to besure its not that.

gl with OP because this dont exclude othr things not update , dont forget VC++ still require other thing is update GPU Driver , because how can VC++ have newest optimized version if user have old gpu driver, its way more complicate then thing is not update in the pc.
Bios and chipset driver even. ( problem is proof it, ( to many combinations to even figure this out ) thats my point here.

Tired of MS per vc++ file use this site
Techpowerup
https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/

remove all previous VC old version and reinstall all in admin dos box. problem solved to my knowledge, still require you have game requiements

thats how i learn this in the past over 6 years ago apox 2017, game work on my old laptop not main pc, so things matter sure its not same code to older game its a dump code now whats the odd its not in the 2015 to 2022 is slim because most play games from that area, have you notice all the old 'VC++ code issue has vanish, says alot about the current issue with the new code.

and im sorry OP you need to be experience gamer to see this over the many years.
i wont say geek is needed but you most have played game over 10 years to notice all the issue, and play many diffrent games

play few games you like and you might not know anything. so years dont count at all its a combination of games that cause issue with thirdpart app.

so pc spec and game info is need and build version , well who care's just update to newest at MS page then there has not been a game i could not start form the past even.
you need a broken game engine for that, such game has been seen before.

MS update has just 3 time install newest framework.net atm on my pc ( look like a reset to fix other issue ) says alot of thirdpart app issue.

If you can't solve it, after doing all the suggestions on this link, and others on the net (google it), it's nothing we can do more here.

Is happen all the time, or just with one game?

Might want to avoid SEO content mills like that. Most of what it recommends is patently false and mined from other sites just to present an article that the "author" can lace with tons of ads.

OP, if this is also happening with games outside of Steam (you did say it's happening with other games), you should probably perform a clean install of Windows.

Reinstall OS will not fix VC++ if it is that problem here.

VC++ is a thirdpart app issue.

my neighbours windows dont even have any VC++ installed , he dont play games.

So reinstall OS is not a solution more a gamble in what game you activate that has newest VC++ in them, and its here why gamers dont agree what is the problem then it work at other pc.

you need to be skilled enough to know what this is about. ( thirdpart app issue ) directX .net VC++ , just like previous OS standard game issue. with a game that run them script after the main game install.
