I'm not sure if this is the best place to post but i like this site so i'm going to post here.
So i just Purchased the game Cities: Skylines Directly from the paradox site and downloaded it.
When I tried to launch it from steam it said the game was starting and the game popped up for 2 seconds on my taskbar then closed.I am above minimum spec and running on 64bit windows. I tried restarting my computer but it didn't work. I also tried reinstalling the game but in the middle of that the windows ui started flashing in and out and I couldn't fix it even with a restart. I booted into Linux on a flash drive and am formatting the hard drive now. I may wait to reinstall windows and all my programs until my powerline adapter arrives so i don't have to wait so long for things to download. Any advice?

In the game directory see if there is a redis/_CommonRedist folder. If so install whats in there.

Install the files like vcredist_x86. Just double click them and install. Do that for every exe file. Then reboot and game should work.
