Game not launching. Launcher doesn't even open

Recommended Posts

So I tried to bring a friend into this game, and his game doesn't run. He downloaded it from steam, it didn't run, so he reinstalled it a couple times, and still nothing. The thing is, the launcher doesn't open up for him. Any ideas?

 

it's probably just the game trying to prevent an innocent soul from entering the toothed gaping hole

I would almost assume The VC2012 Redis (from the TPI folder), but I can't be sure

Did you try having your friend download the launcher directly from our website when Steam didn't work for them? If not, I would suggest giving that a try. If that still doesn't help, contact support with your details and they will do what they can to troubleshoot your issue.

I had the same problem just yesterday! You need microsoft visual C++ something...

Download and install this: https://download.microsoft.com/download/E/C/C/ECCD0A46-78BF-4580-804C-CE0B61CF921E/VSU4/vcredist_x64.exe

and this: https://download.microsoft.com/download/E/C/C/ECCD0A46-78BF-4580-804C-CE0B61CF921E/VSU4/vcredist_x86.exe

if you already have it, then click 'Repair' in the installer

Try to launch APB.exe from the Binaries folder and look what error you get!

Says it's missing a .dll called "MSVCP110.dll"

Yeah, he just did that properly. Actually he had to download the individual missing .dll because the program wouldn't work.

 

Now it says he's missing DXTCompressor.dl, binkw32.dll and PhysXExtensions.dll, even though they're in the folder
