Can't start the EPIC GAMES version of DL2

Modified on Sat, 5 Feb, 2022 at 11:31 PM

The Epic Games Launcher is not configured to install the required redistributables.

Install or check if you have installed the following, please:


Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2019 (x64) (or newer)

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe (a direct download link)


If the game is stuck at a black screen when launching it with the Epic Games Launcher - the game should open the default internet browser to bind Dying Light 2 to your Epic Account. If the Epic Games Launcher or the browser has been started as an admin - the browser might not launch.


A possible workaround is to close all instances of the internet browser, and then launch both the browser as well as the Epic Games Launcher as a standard user.


If the above does not work, send us your dxdiag.txt report along with the game's crash logs and dumps, in accordance with the following article, please:
