Missing files X3DAudio1_7.dll XAPOFX1_5.dll

I’m having some problems starting up the game from steam. When it tries to start up it gets to the easy anti-cheat screen and then it tell me that I am missing files:
X3DAudio1_7.dll
XAPOFX1_5.dll
They appear as small error messages before i click them away. Windows is up to date, I have space to download, I have tried restarting computer and downloading multiple times, I browsed some of the other recent messages boards regarding missing files similar to mine which told me to download x64 or x86 files from here:

which apparently helped some people but is not fixing my problem at all.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try updating the graphics drivers? Sometimes the faulty outdated drivers might be the culprit. Also, Updating Windows can solve your issue. I had also a similar issue and I was able to fix it by downloading the X3DAudio1_7.dll file’s latest version from the internet, replacing the file from the installation folder. You can download this file from here: x3daudio1_7.dll - Download and Fix Missing DLL Error. Hope your problem should go away.
