[TheReaper784]

microsoft visual c++ runtime error this application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Sooooooo I've been trying to run an rather old games (Around 4 years old) and this is the error that popped up.
Anyone has any idea the cause and the fix?

Hi,

Have you tried running that game in compatibility mode? Please do try these support site from Microsoft on how to run that game in Compatibility Mode.

Once done and if it doesn't work just try to uninstall/reinstall the games which are having problem. Do also try running this hotfix from Microsoft specifically for that error that may help.

I've installed the hotfix no go. Installed reinstalled game 3x no go. Pirated the game which I already bought and it worked! (Just used my serial key insted of installing crack lol)
