As of now, there aren’t any official fixes for this issue. The developers haven’t acknowledged the problem yet. So, all you are left with are some workarounds. Don’t worry. These workarounds have proven to be helpful in fixing this issue.
Install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ files
For starters, you need to first download and install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ files via the official Microsoft website. Don’t want to scour the web to visit the page? Well, just click here to initiate the download for the x64 files and here for the x86 files. Once downloaded, run the setup files of each and install the latest Visual C++ files. After this is done, you can try launching the game to check whether the issue persists.
Copy and paste .dll files
For this workaround, you need to head over to the game’s installation directory. How? Well, open Steam, go to Library, and then right-click on KCD 2. Now, select the Manage option and then click on Browse Local Files. Once you are taken to the game’s installation directory, open the bin folder and then the Win64Shared folder. Here, copy all the .dll files present and then go back to the bin folder. This time, enter the Win64MasterMasterSteamPGO folder. Now, paste all the copied .dll files. After this, launch the game. Since this error occurs due to missing .dll files, this step should be able to fix it.
Use Command Prompt
This workaround involves using cmd to run a few file checks and a bunch of commands to fix the issue. To begin, open the Command Prompt window by giving it admin privileges. Next, enter the following command and press enter: “SFC/scannow”. After this, run this command: “DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth”. Once done, you will need to run a few other commands. These are as follows:
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
Just copy the whole list and paste it into the command prompt window. After the process is complete, exit cmd and then launch the game to check if the issue persists.
Verify Game Files
Finally, if the previous workarounds didn’t fix the issue, you can try verifying the game files. How? To do this, go to Steam and then right-click on KCD 2. After this, select Properties and go to the Installed Files tab. Here, select the Verify Integrity of Game Files option. After the scan is done, you can try launching the game. To do this via EGL, go to the game’s tile in your EG library, select it, click on Manage, and then the Verify option. This will initiate the file verification check. If corrupted game files were the reason for this issue’s occurrence, then a simple file verification check should fix it. Also, if this also fails to fix the issue, then consider reinstalling the game.
