MSVCP and VCRUNTIME Error Codes

[DoppelgangerMel]

I am actually going insane. Since the update, I haven't been able to play. I have done EVERYTHING to fix this issue. When I download the files that are in all the threads, after DELETING ones I already have, it states they are already installed. EA has been ZERO help so hopefully, fellow gamers can help me out here. Legit spent too much money on Sims 4 to nt be able to play. My computer is BRAND NEW, has worked fine until these recent updates 

The codes are MSVCP140.dll and VCRUNTIME140.dll I have downloaded the x64 and x86 or whatever 3 times now. I am completely lost. Waited 30 minutes to get help for them to leave after 5. Super frustrating.

Hey @DoppelgangerMel can you try installing the most up to date version of VC++ to see if it helps.

You can find the latest version on the Microsoft website: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

You need to install both of the following:

• vcredist_x86_vs2015 (for 32bit Windows version)
• vcredist_x64_vs2015 (for 64bit Windows version)

If you get the message that the files are already installed, select Repair instead. It is recommended to run the installer as administrator (right-click the file, select run as admin).

Hi guys, I need some help if possible. I haven't played any origin games in maybe 2-3 months now and when I tried to start any game I get these 2 error messages (Only took Screenshots of FIFA 21 because I thought that every games error message cause they're all the same)
