There were some fixes in this area recently but I'm not sure if that version was already released.

the FG installers used to erroneously distribute a universal CRT file... that has been remedied but the old one(s) are still left behind instead of being properly removed by the installer... to fix this problem, you must go into your FG install directory and look for any ucrtsomethingsomething.dll files and remove them... i don't recall the exact name but i'm pretty sure they start with "ucrt"... just move any you find in the FG bin directory to a temp directory, justin case you move a wrong one... then start FG and see how it goes... if everything goes alright, then you can delete those you moved to the temp directory...

that was in your FG bin directory? there's no others one similar to it? are you sure the error path to the file didn't change??

you might need this (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows-c0514201-7fe6-95a3-b0a5-287930f3560c or this https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows-322bf30f-4735-bb94-3949-49f5c49f4732... i'm not sure, though... someone else wrote about this problem here on these forums and there were some links posted... i just can't locate that topic to point you to it or to pull the links out of...

Hi, everyone. First post here. Wasn't sure if this thread was too old to be tacked onto or not, but I have the very same problem as Catto. I get this same CRT error and have not been able to solve it.

System: Windows 7 64-bit, SP1 plus some sporadic updates.
Graphics card: AMD HD-7700M in an HP 8570W laptop, driver 21.Q1.1
FG Version: 2020.3.13

The first thing I did was go out and get those two Microsoft updates that are talked about in this thread

Installed those. No change.

Renamed the ucrtbase.dll file in the BIN directory. No change.

Went and replaced the files in the BIN folder suggested in this post with files found in System32. No change.

The version of ucrtbase.dll in System32 is 10.0.10586.9, dated 11/19/2015 and is 971KB in size. There are other versions of this file in other folders under the Windows folder; 10.0.10240.16390 and 10.0.10137.0

I don't have any good ideas on what to do next or how to proceed. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

the main thing is to remove the one that is in the FG bin directory so the system one(s) are used...

@wkitty42: As described, I did that. No change.

I think I've already tried those updates suggested by sryu1, but I'll try again and report back.

Thanks!

that means you have another old one somewhere that's being found somewhere... definitely try to run the updates again...

Hello, I fixed the problem after searching for updates and topics about the problem, Now I just created an account to share the solution with you
So here's how I fixed the problem, I hope it works for you too:

First, I tried these solutions, but None of them worked:

    Download both CRT updates for windows 7 x64
    Delete/Rename/Move ucrtbase.dll
    Re-install the game

suddenly, I thought maybe the problem is only about ucrtbase.dll and nothing big at all.
So I went to dll-files.com and I downloaded the newest version of the dll and replaced it with ucrtbase.dll in the game folder
And it got fixed :D

Here's the link for downloading the dll file: https://www.dll-files.com/ucrtbase.dll.html

Hmmm. By the username and the fact that it's his first post, I'd say this is spam. What do others think ?
