Then start POE this value back again to 1.

Yeah, but why does PoE ever need this? Have you tried to just run PoE as admin by chance?
When I open the client and select the streaming tab on the options menu the game will immediately crash.

After digging through the log, it looks like some of the issues we are all having could be the fact that our Windows is not fully up-to-date which apparently causes issues with vc_redist installations.

I'm going to get everything up-to-date and attempt to install the vc_redist files linked on page 3 and let everyone know how it goes.


POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO NOT BEING ABLE TO INSTALL VC_REDIST FILES (WINDOWS 8.1):

The link listed above suggests running Windows Updates before installing VC 2015. Apparently, I hadn't ran windows update in a very long time, so I must have been missing key components for getting it installed properly. I had to check, download, and install updates on twice before I was able to successfully install the vc_redist files (you can find them on page 3 posted by GGG). After doing so, I was able to successfully launch POE through steam.

With that being said, it's not very common for a game to force users to get their Windows updated before playing it. Not sure if GGG will address this issue and find a more suitable solution, but either way, I feel way more comfortable getting it resolved myself rather than waiting for an update from GGG (that's no knock on GGG, just with this short time-frame, I wouldn't assume a solution can be found before launch).

This worked. Apparently, I hadn't ran windows update in a very long time, so I must have been missing key components for getting vc_redist 2015 installed properly. I had to check, download, and install updates on twice before I was able to successfully install the vc_redist files (you can find them on page 3 posted by GGG).

Not very common for a game to force me to get my Windows updated 100% before I can play it, so I'm not sure if GGG will address this issue and find a more suitable solution. Either way, I'm glad that I went through this now rather than at launch.

It has more to do with dependencies of VC 2015 redistributable than a game and I really doubt they will downgrade now.
So... why isn't GGG including the prerequisite files in the installer?

Not all of us have the free disk space to install 8gb worth of updates. My C: drive is a 32gb ssd with 1.5gb free. I never planned on adding anything much to it, that is what my 2tb D: drive is for.

Is it possible to copy my C: drive to a larger ssd or would that break all the file cross-references?

It's not possible. VC2015 redistributable packages requires some updates to be installed and won't install without them. But instead of downloading and installing all that it needs it will just show error and you have to search for it's meaning. Typical MS UX there.

Okay I got mine to work finally..

go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5842

click download, scroll down then choose

windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe --> if 64bit windows

windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe --> if 32bit windows


This works perfectly. Thank You.

That's true. It's on Microsoft, but GGG should at least make it very clear as to what's going on in the update. I'm alright with doing a little digging around, but I doubt majority of those who face this same issue would feel the same way. GGG should absolutely attempt to find workarounds for this rather than chalking it up to Windows issues, even though it is 100% Windows.
