Hey there Seckin!

My name is Miguel Ángel and I'm an independent advisor, also a Microsoft user just like you! I'll try to help you today with your issue.

This issue normally happens when there are libraries that are missing or corrupted. Are you using any game launcher for the game like Steam or Epic Games?

First of all, make sure all Windows Updates are installed and up to date. If it still fails, you can run these installers to install/fix any of these libraries:

DirectX - https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx...

Visual C++ (install both x64 and x86) - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/la...

For Visual C++, I recommend uninstalling before all the Visual C++ packages that may be installed. Then, restarting your device and installing the two packages that are available there.

Do as well run a SFC check:

1. Press Windows + X and open 'Command Prompt (admin)'. You can as well look for 'cmd' in Search bar, right-click and 'Run as administrator'.
2. In the command prompt, run the following commands:

> dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

> sfc /scannow

I'll wait for your reply! Don't worry, everything will be okay :)
