New World is a massive game and seems to be like the next big thing in the MMO world. With any big game, there are a lot of things that can go wrong and needs to be hammered over time, but if you have run into the New World VCRUNTIME140.DLL, MSVCP140.DLL, and VCRUNTIME140_1.DLL Missing or Not Found error, the issue lies with your system and not the game. The devs can’t do anything about the error as the mentioned DLL files are missing or corrupted. But, the problem can be fixed easily. Keep reading and we will show you how.
Fix New World VCRUNTIME140.DLL, VCRUNTIME140_1.DLL, or MSVCP140.DLL Missing
While trying to play the game, you may come across the error “VCRUNTIME140.DLL file not found or is missing”. It means the VCRUNTIME140.DLL or the other two files are missing or corrupted. You can fix the issues by reinstating the Visual C++ Redistributable or by manually downloading the file. Here is how you can replicate the fix to resolve the error.
Fix 1: Reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2015, 2017, and 2019 Redistributable
Go to Apps and Features (Press Windows Key + I and select Apps, choose Apps & Features). Now scroll down to check if you have the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2019 installed. You would find several versions of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable such as 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, etc. Check if you have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015, 2017, and 2019.
Head over to the official website of Microsoft and download and install a fresh copy of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015, 2017, and 2019. While installing, install both the x86 and x64 versions.
Fix 2: Place the VCRUNTIME140.DLL Manually
If the above fix did not work for you, download a copy of the DLL from any of the online websites and place it manually within the game. Once you have downloaded the file, head over to Steam\steamapps\common\New_World\Binaries\Win64\ and place the file in the location.
A word of caution though, ensure the source where you download the DLL file is reliable and you are not downloading a malware. If you place the wrong file, it can potentially put your system at risk.
I hope this has fixed the New World VCRUNTIME140.DLL, VCRUNTIME140_1.DLL, or MSVCP140.DLL Missing.
