Crash upon attempting to launch single-player

[uncle_stalin45]

Hi all, I get the following error when attempting to launch any single-player map. I'm running 1.6.8.1, the issue wasn't present before I updated from 1.6.6.1 this evening (the game launched fine). Have tested across multiple maps in single-player with the same issue reoccurring immediately upon clicking "Deploy". No changes to system files AFAIK on my computer.

Running Windows 10 build 19043.1237 with NVIDIA GeForce MX130 driver version 466.77

Turns out I should've used the forum search tools better... for reference, this can be fixed by reinstalling from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... aspx?id=35
