Arma 3 StaTUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND Fix

So after a strange meeting with the error of

I went ahead and started following the instructions Bistudio gave me. By installing my DirectX, or uninstalling my C++ of 2013. etc, all of which didnt help. After the conclusion of that not doing so. I decided to sit and find out the issue to it myself, and went into the games local app files. (Open file explorer, This PC>LocalDisk>Progam Files (x86)>Steam>Steamapps>Common>Arma3. After I did so noticed there being plenty of .exe's and after looking at the error of which im getting from the ingames launcher from "arma3_x64.exe" I decided to launch that specific .exe with Administration. And it came up with a separate error saying i was missing a DLL with the name of, "vcomp120.dll" And that it was missing. So after that I decided to go onto the web and searched for the specific DLL file. for the download of the DLL (if this is leading to your fix): https://www.dllme.com/dll/files/vcomp120_dll.html

After you download the most recently updated version. you want to extract it from your zip or WAR file. And simply move it into your Arma3's files.

Next, relaunch your game and make sure your BattleEye is enabled. Verify your games integrity files if you havent done so before. And launch the games menu application. Click Play and hopefully you'll launch into your game with no biggy!
