Need For Speed Payback is unable to launch.
Need For Speed Payback is unable to launch.
So I downloaded R. G. Mechanics's Repacked (cracked and compressed) Version of NFS Payback Deluxe Edition. I installed it completely, along with all other 'required' stuff like Visual C++ Redist Redistributables.
But then, when I tried loading the game, it showed an error message box saying that I was
'missing api-....convert-|1-1-0.dll'
. I looked it up on Google for solutions, then I tried reinstalling all of my VC Redist Redistributables and even downloaded the required dll file.
It was then when a new message box showed up: '
needforspeedpayback.exe procedure entry point
ucrtbase.atoi
could not be located in dynamic library api...convert-|1-1-0.dll
'. This time, there was absolutely no information whatsoever about this '
ucrtbase.atoi
' on Google.
I tried reinstalling my VC Redists and even installing newer versions, but in vain. it just couldn't fix my problem. The game still could not be launched, and the same box showed up.
If anyone knows how I can fix this problem, I will be very thankful.
Edit: EA doesn't provide any help guidelines for the game not launching, even for the genuine Origin versions. People also face this kind of problem where the game doesn't start, even without a message box.
And also I'm 15 and without a bank account. I'm saving for a new PC, but until then, I need this.

Nice.
I still require a fix for the DLL issue in my other games, whether they're pirated or not.
But thank you nonetheless. I'll consider it.
