I am having issues with MIcrosoft Visual C++ when I try and open some games in Steam, like AOE2 and Poppy Playtime. I get a message from Steam Client Services asking if I want to let the App make changes to my PC, and no matter what I say I get a pop up reading Microsoft Visual C++2022 X86 Minimum Runtime - 14.51.36247 and below that in the popup it reads the feature I am trying to use is on a network that is unavaialble

    I'm also having this issue. I've tried installing the x86 and x64 versions as recommended and they failed.

    Hi, good day!

    Please try to download and install both x86 and x64 versions of the latest multi-installer Visual C++ 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2026 redistributable. Restart your PC after the installation. Note: Don't install the ARM64.

    I'm having major issues with this too, and I've tried a lot of things including what you suggested. Could I get some help?
