Steps to Fix:
1. Install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable

Go to the official Microsoft page:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

Download and install both the x86 and x64 versions (yes, even if you’re on 64-bit Windows).

2. Install DirectX End-User Runtime

Download from the official Microsoft page:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

Run the installer and follow the steps.

3.Restart Your PC

Once both are installed, restart your computer to apply the changes.

4. Launch the Game Again

This time, the game should get past the loading logo and launch normally.

Extra Tips (if it still doesn’t work)

Verify the game files in Steam
