My friend and I are having trouble getting his game to launch, it keeps telling him that VCRedist x64 failed to install. This only just started happening today, he was playing the game fine last night. We've looked up the issue, and other people with this issue have said that reinstalling doesn't fix it. What do we do to fix this so that we can play again?

Reinstall/Update the 'VCRedist x64' software package.

It's some software that many games depend on before they can run. The version of the software you have right now may be outdated, or some files may be corrupted. That, or you don't have VCRedist x64 at all.

To install this software package, you can Google for it.

If you cannot find this, there should be a VCRedist installer included in the game files.

Simply go to this data pad:

Program Files (x86) > Hi-Rez Studios > HiRezGames > smite > binaries > Redist
From here, open the executable "UE3Redist_vs2012" and go through the install wizard.

After these steps, you should be able to launch your game. If the problem still persists, it may be a good idea to contact Hi-Rez Support for some more advanced technical help with your issues.
