Game Only Launches Once

[Athénaïs]

I installed the game for the first time on this PC set-up, and launched the game once from the installation window/launcher right after installation. The second time I tried to launch the game from the desktop shortcut, I got an error that the code can't run because "VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found." I reinstalled the game, and got the exact same situation.

You have to download Tequila

Do I have to reinstall everything else? Last time I played I used Tequila, I guess I misread the instructions this time.

Thanks for the reply!

Edit: Trying to run Tequila just added an error (it still gave me the old one, too.)

Should be noted: Don't run Tequila, use the newer Homecoming Launcher.

Both of these are indicating a problem with Visual C++ Redistributable.

 

https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/3/F/93FCF1E7-E6A4-478B-96E7-D4B285925B00/vc_redist.x64.exe

https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/3/F/93FCF1E7-E6A4-478B-96E7-D4B285925B00/vc_redist.x86.exe

 

I'm guessing that you need the x64 package, since you have 64-bit highlighted in one of the screenshots.  Presuming that's correct, download from the first link and install that, and see if it allows the game to launch.

That absolutely seems to have done the trick right away! Thank you!

Yeah, I tried the new Launcher at first, and now that's what I'm going to use since it works with Luminara's fix. I might have installed the game twice by trying Tequila, though. Whoops!

Tequila and the variants like it (AFAIK) are unsupported. That's one reason why the HC launcher exists.
