Try restarting the VCMP browser and then see if you can join. If not, please show us the content of your rel006 folder.

libpng16.dll is included with the client update (as seen here (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/457629404080635917/791819728774758410/unknown.png)) so either something/someone deleted it or it may require the Visual Studio redistributable to be installed, located here (https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x86.exe).

Install the dll file from here(Clicky!) (https://www.mediafire.com/file/uhxzvbyotd2c3oi/libpng16.dll/file). I'll tell you the quick way to paste the file.

- Download the file from above link.

- Right click on VC:MP browser.

- Choose 'Open file location'.

- You'll see a '04rel006' folder. Open it.

- Finally paste the .dll

- Try joining servers now!

It worked for a few users who were still facing the issue after downloading VC redistributables.

I had the same issue on Christmas day, so it seems like this has effected a few of us. I just did a system restore.
