Fixing the Chivalry 2 VCRUNTIME140_1.dll not found issue
If you have been gaming on PC for some time, you have probably seen this error code before. This usually indicates that some redistributables are missing, which are required to run the game. This error specifically points to the Visual C ++ Redistributables.
To fix the error, follow the steps below to download the files.
- Head over to the following link (Official Microsoft link with the download links)
- Scroll down a bit, and under the Visual Studio 2015, 2017, and 2019 part, click on vc_redist.x64.exe, as shown in the screenshot below
- This will download the setup executable
- Install it, and you might have to restart your PC afterward for it to install completely
There is also a chance that you have these installed, and the setup might prompt you to repair those. Do that if that is the case as sometimes the redistributable files get corrupted when you are installing GPU updates or other redistributable files.
