Forza Horizon 4 Potential Fix for not Launching on Steam

Posted on March 11, 2021

For Forza Horizon 4 players, this guide is aimed at those who had their Forza Horizon 4 not launching on Steam at all. Let’s check it out.

 

If you didn’t use BitDefender or didn’t have non-latin characters in your username and the game still doesn’t launch for you completely without any error box – you might want to try this as a potential FIX.

A keen eye might notice that official troubleshooting guide from Forza Support Team mentions reinstalling Microsoft Visual C++ programs, but they only reinstall the most recent version, which is not enough to fix the issue.

 

Press the Windows Key + R, type appwiz.cpl and then press Enter

This will open Programs and Features. Search for “Visual C++” to find all Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables

Uninstall each version / architecture of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable one by one.

This my seem like a lot, but they actually uninstall pretty quickly (your mileage may vary though)

Download ALL packages of VCRedist Visual Studio C++ runtimes from here

This is the key part of the guide, because it seems that Forza Horizon 4 actually needs one of the older versions of VCRedist Visual Studio C++ runtime, possibly even an x86 one.

    It didn’t work for me. I also tried temporarily turning off bit defender and still nothing. I also checked my game files and they are not corrupt.
