Hi all i have just installed crysis3 on my win 7 64 bit pc,when i try and start the game it says :The program cant start because vulkan-1.dll is missing from your computer,any ideas how to fix it?,thanks in advance.
sorted that by downloading the dll,now have an issue with fear3 saying the aplcation cant start as its siide by side configuration is incorrect,it has the lattest c++ updates as mentoned in some vids,any ideas on that issue?,cheers.
You might wanna try uninstalling all of your Visual C++ libraries in the add/remove programs in the Control Panel then restart the computer and then run this installer which will reinstall all the Visual C++ libraries.
I had an issue with Visual C++ and this solved it for me. Note, many programs use Visual C++ so while they are uninstalled don't try running a program until all the Visual C++ libraries are reinstalled.
From TechPowerUp's description.
To install, run the included install_all.bat with admin privileges (right click, "Run as administrator")
The download includes the VC_Redist runtime packages for Visual C++ 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2022. Both 32-bit and 64-bit are supported. The files included are the English language version.
When doing a fresh Windows OS install, it's recommended to always install all the various C++ runtimes, which is why this all-in-one pack was created. It helps to avoid problems with programs that cause error messages like "side-by-side configuration is incorrect", or "Missing MSVCRT.DLL", "VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found", or "MSVCP140.DLL".
