Outriders error code 23
This error occurs due to multiple reasons. One of them being Windows not being up to date which is easily fixable. Another cause for this error seems to be the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable being out of date. And another cause of this problem is game files on steam being corrupt.
How to fix it?
Reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable
- Open Programs and Features from the Windows Control Panel (or Add or Remove Programs for Windows XP). A simple way to bring this up on non-Windows XP systems is to type “programs and features” in the search field at the bottom of the Start menu.
- In the search field at the top right, type in “C++ redist” (without quotations).
- Uninstall everything that shows “Microsoft Visual C++” and “Redistributable”
- This will uninstall it.
- Download it from the official website.
- Both the x86 and x64 versions are needed on 64-bit systems. Only the x86 versions will work on 32-bit systems.
Repair Steam Files
- Go to Steam library on the steam client
- Right-click on Outriders and select Properties
- Click on Local Files and Click on Verify Integrity
- Wait for the process to complete and you’re done.
