Had the same issue except when I downloaded the vcrun2022 it was aborted. What do I do?
dependent-tan•2y ago
try installing vcrun2020 or 2019
is there an error when it's aborted?
another option is to download the visual C runtime installers (64 and 32bits) and install them using the Run Exe in Prefix option

I noticed if steam is running it breaks wine sometimes. In my case closing steam let me install vcrun
Couldnt launch wine related stuff at all
Wouldnt be the first time steam did that

I'm having issues with this too, still not able to install the c++ exe. I've tried installing 2019 and it broke too. Tried using the "run exe on prefix" and it says it can only install on windows 7 devices or newer. When I try to install the vcrun2022 it comes back with "command wine vc_redist.x86.exe /q returned status 1. Aborting."
Not sure what's going on... it also says "Gtk-Message: 18:44:05.131: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" afterwards too....
I also tried what @Allora suggested and made sure I had shutdown steam... no dice.

Reboot?
fascinating-indigo•2y ago
Tried the reboot, no change.
This is on SteamDeck BTW
Other epic story games work... Just not this one

steam deck runs steam pretty much always, you were for sure out of it in desktop mode?
fascinating-indigo•2y ago
Yep, but I might have just figured it out. It looks like I had turned on "enable steam runtime" for whatever reason. Turning that off solved the problem and the game now works!
unwilling-turquoise•2y ago
yeah you shouldnt have that on, glad it works
