Hi,

I'be been trying to launch the game for months with no success so far. I installed it via Steam, and as soon as i hit the Play button (or run the .exe directly), it immediatly shows an error box with error code 0xc000007b.

It doesn't even try to launch the game, the error box appears immediatly on click. That error usually means some vc++ library is missing, but that's not the case.

The Activation stuff in the game folder shows the Activation works fine (4/5 remaining).

Specs : 9800x3D, Asrock x870e taichi, RTX5080, 64Go RAM ddr5, 2 nvme, Win11 Pro.

What i tried so far :

• Uninstall all vc++ redistributables and reinstall them again, using Microsoft executables : not working (many many attempts, installs, cleanings, reinstalls...)
• Tried with some AIO vc++ packs from github, didn't work either.
• Uninstalled all the vc++ libraries and reinstalled the game from scratch so Steam would install its own vc++ at the 1st launch : didn't work either.
• Reduced cores,
• Installed Markerpatch,
• 4GB ram allowing patch, dxwrapper, XTEAther, dxvk stuff...
• Launch in every compatibility mode, as administrator and as a plebeian,
• Tried countless guides and fixes found on Steam, github and reddit discussions...

Nothing worked, immediate 0xc000007b error.

Thank you in advance for your help
