- I had a problem running the game, found a solution, and felt refreshed playing the recent DLC Blood and Wine.
- During computer cleaning, I deleted necessary files, causing the game to not run, but I solved it by installing Visual C++ Redistributable.
- I played my favorite game, 'The Witcher 3', for the first time in a long time, as I had a weekend.
Hello.
I was going to play The Witcher 3, a game I used to enjoy, for the first time in a long time, since it was the weekend.
After reinstalling it from Steam and pressing the play button, it changed to the pause button, as if it were going to run, but it didn't run after a few seconds and changed back to the play button. It didn't show any error messages or pop-up alarms. (See the video below)
Before anger arose, I quickly searched for a solution. To find out what was going on, I had to find the folder where the Witcher executable was located and double-click it to see what the error was.
In my case, it was Windows 64x-based, so I could see that the Witcher was installed at the path below.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Witcher 3\bin\x64 wither3.exe
The error message showed that it was because the file called VCOMP11.DLL was missing.
This can be solved by installing the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 file.
You can download and install the VSU4\vcredist_x86.exe file from the site below by selecting Korean if you are using a 64-bit
system.

I remembered that I had uninstalled/changed programs thinking that I was cleaning my computer. If you look at the programs installed below, you will see several files named Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 2012 2015-2019, etc. These files are often installed when running programs like games, but I had about 20 of them and I remember deleting them all. If you are experiencing the same thing, you may have also touched these files.
Anyway, I was able to explore the Witcher world again. It's the DLC Blood and Wine, which is known for its beautiful scenery. After taking down a monstrous giant, I felt refreshed...
Have a pleasant weekend, everyone.
