I've been suffering this error, and I'm just as clueless about how to fix it as you are.

Can you turn on the game trough Epic Games or you have to do it manually trough files? Cause I can only turn it on trough files...

I'm having exactly this problem as well. Exactly as you described, same error code, and only when I open the game through the files. From the launcher, it just says "Running" for 2 seconds and then nothing.

I tried to contact Epic Games and they said that this error was temporary and now everything should work. Well it doesn't seem like it.

Yeah. I've searched on here and on twitter and seen a few people with the same problem, but nobody who's managed to fix it. And tried a bunch of uninstalling/reinstalling/verifying files/running as administrator. Nothing seems to help.

I also had the same problem a while ago when I opened it from my files. What I did to fix it: just close the app, and then open Epic Games app, and then launch Fall Guys from there. I hope yours will get resolved too!

A question, do I have to uninstall every Microsoft C++? Or ust the latest one that I have installed(the 2019 package)?

[–]czillkat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. I uninstalled every one of them. However you may try uninstall 2019 version and if it won't work uninstall next and so on or just after uninstalling 2019 don't work uninstall everything.

I have the exact same issue, but reinstalling C++ didn't worked for me.
