Sleeping Dogs shows Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error
this happens to Sleeping Dogs, not Definitive Edition. I like to play the old version because it's lightweight, I can save my disk space.
I completed the game with no problem, but suddenly now, the game shows this error each time I start the game after a few minutes.
this application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way
If I ignore the error, I can continue to play my game, if I press Ok, the game crashes.
I don't like the error message so I google the error, first I think the problem may cause by microsoft visual c++ redistributable version conflict, thus I just uninstall all microsoft visual c++ redistributable versions available on my PC and install the latest microsoft visual c++ redistributable, but the problem still persist. So I know this must be the bad code of the game.
How can I fix it?

Simply block hkship.exe in your firewall, and that will stop the C++ error while allowing you to still be connected to the internet. A box will pop up once informing you that you're not connected to the social club, after that it's smooth sailing.
