The Tekken 8 Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error is a very common error that can occur in any game. All games require this library to function. All MS OS has this software preinstalled and gets updated with regular Windows updates, but sometimes these files can get corrupted or uninstalled by some other program. When that happens, you will get this error whenever you try to run a program that relies on MS Visual C++ Runtime error. Here is how to fix the Tekken 8 Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime error.
Fix Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error
The simple fix to this problem is to find the existing program uninstall it and install a new copy. So, here are the fixes you can try.
Check for Windows Update
The first thing you should do is ensure that your operating system is up-to-date. Windows update has all the software updates you require to run any program that is compatible with Windows. If you have not updated your PC for a while, that may be the cause of the issue. To install the update, follow the below process:
- Press Windows Key + I and click on Windows Update
- Click on Check for Updates
- Download and install all the updates.
Reinstall DirectX End-User Runtime
While DirectX End-User Runtime may not be the issue when the error specifically says Visual C++ Redistributable. But, we have observed that this error quite often relates to the DirectX End-User Runtime. Download the software from the official website by following the link and installing it.
Reinstall Visual C++ Redistributable
Before you install the Visual C++ Redistributable. Go to Windows Settings > Apps > and delete all the existing Visual C++ Redistributable programs. Once that’s done, go to this link on the MS website and download both the X86 and X64 versions of Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022. Install both programs and check if the game runs.
Verify Game Files
Finally, if none of the above fixes worked, there may be an issue with the game files you downloaded. Verify the Integrity of game files and check if that works. Go to the Steam Library > right-click on Tekken > Properties > Installed Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files.

Firstly, it’s advisable to ensure that the latest version of the .NET Framework is installed on your system.
