I tried to uninstall the test server to free up space, so it uninstalled both then I reinstalled rainbow six siege. Now when I try to start it looks like it's gonna start then don't on the steam launcher it just goes from the green play to the blue stop and nothing pops up. Also when I try to start it from Uplay it doesn't work and when I try to start it manually it doesn't work it shows and error saying "The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem." So I've reinstalled the game twice now and to be honest I'm at a loss.
Hi there Comrade_B2,
The error code MSVCP140.dll usually means your computer is missing important system files. To this this please try these steps that will involve using command prompt -
- Press the Windows Key + S
- Search for Command Prompt and right click on it and run as administrator
- Type the following command as it appears sfc/scannow
- Press Enter and wait for the program to check system files, this might take a little while
- After completion close the program and try to launch the game
You can also try checking for a corrupted hard drive -
- Press the Windows Key + S
- Search for CMD (Command Prompt) and right click and open as administrator
- Type this following command as it appears CHKDSK (then leave a space and put the letter of the hard drive you want to check with the game on)
- Press enter to begin scan
- After the program has finished running its check, see what errors it may have found.
Let me know how you get on after trying the above and then launching the game.
