Instead of repairing, please uninstall your existing Visual C++ Redistributables for 2015 - 2022, and reinstall via: Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads | Microsoft Learn

Yup, just tried reinstalling the redistributables as well as cleanly reinstalling the game. The issue seems to no longer persist but I’ll keep this thread updated if anything I do ends up causing this issue again.
