Files not working for Battlefield 1

[Pugsarepeople2]

When I try to launch Battlefield 1 for some reason it says the mscvp.120.dll is not working. I reinstalled battlefield 5 and that works fine but battlefield 1 does not. Any ideas?

@Pugsarepeople2, this error can be fixed by installing Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4. If it's already installed, choose the Repair option. Once the process is complete, restart your computer.

If that doesn't work, I suggest you to try these basic solution methods:

• Run Battlefield 1 as administrator.
• Clean boot.
• Clear cache.
• Closing background applications.
• Repair Battlefield 1 through Steam.

  Steps on how to verify integrity of game files on Steam:

  1. Load Steam.
  2. From the Library section, right-click on Battlefield 1 and select Properties from the menu.
  3. Select the Local files tab and click on Verify integrity of game files...

  Steam will verify the game's files. This process may take several minutes.

If your VC++ is fully installed and up to date, then I would recommend the steps suggested in this Microsoft help thread here.

Hi @Pugsarepeople2,

It's an issue with redistributable files and not with the game itself.

Go to the game files and install both redist installers (vc_redist.x86.exe + vc_redist.x64.exe) with administrator privileges. This is the default path for Battlefield 1 redist installers:

C:\Program Files(x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 1\__Installer\vc\vc2013\redist\vc_redist.x86.exe
C:\Program Files(x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 1\__Installer\vc\vc2013\redist\vc_redist.x64.exe

Things to note:

• The path maybe different, it depends on where the game is installed.
• Both the x86 and x64 versions are needed on 64-bit systems. Only the x86 versions will work on 32-bit systems

If that doesn't work by just installing or repairing redistributable files, you might need to Manually Reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime libraries.

Ok I did that and now I have this issue.
