Installing Visual C Runtime on Linux
For Steam games (Proton)
The easiest method for installing missing runtimes is with Protontricks, which acts as a graphical interface for Winetricks.
- Install Protontricks. Most Linux distributions have Protontricks available in their software repositories. You may also find it in the Discover store if you are on a Steam Deck.
Manual Install
Run
- Run Protontricks and select the game that is giving you the error.
- Choose a "winetricks" option. This will launch a menu with different options.
- Install the runtime.
- Select Install a Windows DLL or component.
- Find the latest
vcrunpackage, for example,vcrun2022, and click OK to install it. - If that doesn't work, you may need to try an older version, such as
vcrun2019orvcrun2015. You can try installing a few different versions.
- Re-run the game. Close Protontricks and launch the game again to see if the error is resolved.
