bullet purveyor 85 Posted December 2, 2015 Try the good old verify game cache: "Consider using the Steam client option to verify the integrity of the local game cache to avoid corrupted data after downloading this update." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ligerfangz 13 Posted December 2, 2015 Hello, this issue is caused by a missing or misconfigured system component. Unfortunately there are more causes for this issue, so there is not a single reliable fix for this issue. If the a library with the component is missing, then running Windows System Checker tool should fix the issue: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833 or Microsoft DISM tool: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh824869.aspx (by running Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth from the elevated command line) That didn't explain how to fix it at all. I'm not all that tech savvy so, I don't know. Nope still broken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ligerfangz 13 Posted December 2, 2015 Try the good old verify game cache: "Consider using the Steam client option to verify the integrity of the local game cache to avoid corrupted data after downloading this update." I did and it detected a problem and I verified the game cache, multiple times, but it didn't work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
