v.1.6.0 broke MV for me

[Parallax Panda]

I'm using the steam version on an older HP laptop (running windows 8.1). The new update just installed itself and now I can't open/run the program anymore. When I try to open it though steam or the start menu nothing happens and if I try opening an old project manually I'll get this error message reading something like;

"RPGMV.exe - system error. It's not possible to open the program because MSVCP120.dll is missing on this computer. You can try to fix the problem by re-installing the software".

I'm paraphrasing because my windows language settings are in Swedish, but that's what it said. I haven't tried to re-install RPGmaker yet. I thought I should ask here first since whatever is wrong here happened in this update and it's possible more people than me have this problem.

I'm using a HP ProBook 450 G2 with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz 2.40GHz, 8GB RAM (can't remember exact type) & a 64-bit Windows 8.1 Pro.

Try using Verify Integrity first and/or reinstall.

Hmm can you load the previous version via steam like some have suggested panda? Meow.

@Archeia
I'm going to try to re-install first. It'll take a couple of hours most likely with my internet speed. I'm not sure I understand what you mean with "Verify integrity"? But I'm willing to try it if this re-installation doesn't work.

@Sauteed_Onion
If nothing I else work I'll try to revert back to an older version as a last resort. But that would be more like a temporary fix since you'd want to have the latest bug fixes and such as well as access to future versions. So whatever is wrong here would have to be addressed sooner or later. But never the less, it's good that you pointed it out because I didn't really think about it.

Are you sure that's MSVCP120.dll and not MSVCP140.dll? Imports indicate that it should require MSVC++ 2015 redists, not 2013.

Verify Integrity is basically recheck all files without reinstalling.

@cyanic
Um... yeah I think I'm positive but since I've uninstalled and are (slowly) re-installing it again I can't double check it to be 100% positive. That being said, I was a bit distracted since I was simultaneously reading an e-mail with bad news. So you might be right... but I think I wrote it correctly.

@Archeia
Ah, I see. Thank you. If the re-install doesn't work. I'll try that. And if that doesn't work... I guess I try to revert back to the last version unless anyone else has any good ideas.

Reverting back to 1.5.1 I can launch MV. Turning Antivirus off, switching back to 1.6. Did the verify intergrity of files. 1.6 still fails to Launch.

If reinstall doesn't work reverifying won't work either, since you've already got a fresh install.

 

[OmnislashXX]

Uninstalled then reinstalled. 1.6 still fails to Launch. Sorry, but it's broke.

Have you tried just installing the MSVCPP2013 runtime libraries?

[Parallax Panda]

Ok, re-installing did not solve the problem. It's must be that the update itself is broken in one way or another.

@SamJones

I have not, I'll consider trying that next.

 

[Magusalfador]

I have the same problem, rechecking integrity will not fix it nor reinstalling. I have the steam version an i was able to go back to 1.51 and it works fine. I guess we have to wait for them to re patch the update for us having the MSVCP140.dll problem. Sigh*

 

[Archeia]

Hi please download
VC++ 2015 and 2013 for good measure

A small second patch seems to have been issued though STEAM and after installing that I can once again launch MV. Whatever it was, it seemed to have fixed the issue for me.
