Can't run 5.5.1 shipped games (asking for Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime and crash)

I have Microsoft Studio Community 2022 (17.12.3) with MSVC 14.38 installed, I can build and run fine when games build with Unreal 5.4.4, but when I build with Unreal 5.5.1 it requests to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime, but even after pressing “yes” it keeps asking every time.

As a bonus I also noticed that it crashes with a fresh project :slight_smile:

Yep, seen that before.

You’d wanna download the redistributables from here: visualstudio.com/downloads

Hope this helps! :innocent:

Sadly I already have it installed, I can only repair or uninstall it

Hey @Viniccius007, it’s been a while since we last heard from you! Do you have any updates on the matter?

I am having this same error, the longer error you posted. It is only happening in shipping mode. And it is weird, because it just started happening when a previous package in shipping mode worked earlier today.

I had updated the game engine to 5.5.3 and it doesn’t seem to be happening anymore
