1.08 patch won't start

[the dragon]

I have win7.Patch 1.07 worked fine .I upgraded to v1.08 & the game wont start. It said I was missing MSVCP140.dll.I downloaded it & installed it but now it says it wont start correctly & the error code is a lot of zeros followed by an xnumber. If the patch requires new system updates a direct link to download them would be very helpful.
I am a senior & not that experienced with system files so any help is appreciated. I would like my game working properly.
Thanks.

Whatever operation system you have, your computer needs Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 redistributable, 32 bit to run the game; or you can install both 32 and 64 bit. This is a known issue and was detected during the beta tests. The dll file alone does not solve the problem.

You can get the redistributable from here; it is the Microsoft site. I think it is x86 you need but you can install both just in case

If you have a later version of Visual C++ that does not let you install the 2015 version you will need to uninstall the later version and install the one from 2015.

See you on the battlefield.

Thanks for your help. I downloaded & installed the system packages & now the game works. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem, because strangely the C++ Installer stated I had a more up-to-date version. Yet on checking I did not! My latest version was 2010.

So, thanks. By downloading the 2015 version via the link above, the problem is resolved.

Many thanks.
