Hi @oliwkq22. 

That error usually comes up if there's a missing or corrupted system file in Windows. There are some things we can try that can help. 

First, I'd recommend downloading the Visual C++ Redistributable files from the Microsoft Support website to see if that helps. That may be able to recover the files that Origin is looking for. Be sure to download both the x86 and x64 versions of the 2015 Visual C++ files. 

Let me know if you're still getting that same error message afterward. Thanks!

I had the same probelm with Star Wars Battlefront here is a link to (hopefull) repair your dll files because you have probably installed wrong files https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOBIqEKSmz0
