Death Stranding ACCESS VIOLATION FIX !!! (C0000005h FIX) // DirectX 12 Error Patch Fix

 Kojima always gives us a hard time when it comes to porting games from the consoles to PC, and it was no different for their new release Death Stranding. 

Issues I had:

1. The game just doesn't start up, It crashes at startup with a Long error message.

2. I tried all kinds of basic fixes out there [Updating the graphics driver, Updating the DirectX, updating the Windows version too] and nothing seemed to work.

My Computer Specs:

Lenovo Y700

i7-6700HQ

GTX 960M / Intel HD 530

16GB RAM

The Fix:

1. Install Visual C++ versions from the links below

3. Extract and Copy the 2 files from the folder and paste them into the root folder of the Game:

4. Now start the game and Enjoy.
