ERROR: Failed to load api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-2-0.dll

[Scundo Gundo]

I launch the game and I get this: ERROR: Failed to load api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-2-0.dll.

I am running on Windows 7 64 bit.

[EDIT]: The game is dependant on windows 10, which I had realised immediately posting this. I have long since upgraded and am personally having a blast with this game.

Hi - The minimum OS needed to run DEATH STRANDING is Windows® 10

This is bs. There's no reason for it.

Yes, there is. It's called actual DX12 support.

Stop clinging to a dead OS.

[darxide23]

Nobody asked you. Quit shilling. Even Cyberpunk is going to support Win7 because Win7 supports DX12 with SP1. You don't even know what you're talking about with that, so I think maybe shut your mouth.

Yeah. The partial DX12 library added because Activision/Blizzard threw huge piles of money at Microsoft to get support for WoW. Because of people like you who refuse to get the hell off a dead OS.

Using that implementation of DX12 requires a TON of extra work on the part of the devs over just using the damn API in win 10.

Get rid of your dead OS.

[darxide23]

I should also say stop shilling out for an OS with numerous blatant security concerns that have never been addressed, has literally lost all QA support, forces updates whether you want them or not, and a dozen other legitimate concerns.

And again, you're talking out of your ass without knowing anything. I am not surprised. You're just some kid getting his jollies being a troll. I expect nothing less from Steam forums.

[Seamus]

Woo! More of the same arguments from a luddite who hasn't actually used the OS and instead clings to 7 as though it somehow doesn't have security holes and telemetry!

Windows 7 is end of life.

Developers are not going to continue supporting it in their games.

Count yourself lucky CDPR was bored enough to support the whopping 5% of the steam userbase that's still on that damn OS.

Except I'm not.

Win 7 did not get the full DX12 library ported to it.

It got a stripped down version that puts the onus of the workload on the developers to include everything required for the game to run with the game rather than, y'know, being able to pull from the libraries in the OS.

It's an incomplete implementation of a constantly evolving API.

[darxide23]

Oh no! Another child talking yet more verbal diarrhea. First, I mentioned nothing about telemetry, but since you seem absolutely obsessed with it, let's talk about it. Windows 7 has nothing even approaching the levels of invasiveness that Windows 10 does. Furthermore, most of the telemetry was added in KB updates when Windows 10 was preparing to launch. Blocking these updates is a trivial thing in Windows 7, something that is far from easy to do in Windows 10 I might add.

Secondly, I use Windows 10 regularly. Just not on my personal machine. I've been a service tech for the majority of my life. But in case those words are too advanced for you, let me dumb it down for your tiny mind to comprehend: I service and repair computers. Yea, including Windows 10 machines. Have I exploded your immature little brain, yet?

Have a look over the article I linked. CDPR isn't having to put a "TON of extra work" as you claim. Windows 7 support was almost an after thought to them.

Keep shilling like you know what you're talking about.

[Seamus]

It's adorable how you're having to continue to resort to insults to support your position.

The article you linked is hilariously incomplete for the argument you're trying to make.

DX12 under win 7 is a partial implementation that only exists because of Activision/Blizzard throwing money around.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be the SECOND game to actually use it because the implementation is too much trouble to be bothered with by most developers.

Win 7 is a dead os. It will continue to be a dead os.

[[SFW]Mark]

OHHHH. I thought I was just missing a file or something lol. Decided to play on my desktop instead of the laptop and got this very error. Well...that sucks. I like my W7 on my desktop.

u can say the same for windows 7 regarding security concerns

ok since you care about telementry, do you use chrome?
do you use an android phone
do you use , apps on your phone

most of them have privacy policies which state that they collect data on you.........

including using a samsung ssd drive.............

im betting most of the games you run. collect the sameish telementry......


just about anything that runs advertisements, is tracking you, where you go , how long you stay there, how hard you hold your phone
what is stressing you out, your phones elevation

windows 10 collects data NOTHING closeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee to your phone


so what operating system you running there

pls lemme know cus im down to switch

Usually i look at the requirements before buying but guess i was too hyped...

Got a new game i can't play yay. Don't tell me to get Win 10. Money aint the issue! It's setting it all up. I am severely handicapped and just the voice recog engine took MONTHS to teach so it works 90% of the time. Let alone the other software and settings i changed to play/work at least a an ok level. :(

Won't refund because a. Was my fault for not checking and b. support the devs. I am really sad though. Win 10 forcing is NOT always for technical reasons(A few companies admitted that). Couldn't play Sea of thieves with my friends either... Rant over.

Can't you just copy the files from that voice recognition software?

I backed up my entire windows drive from documents, and appdata/roaming, local and localLow which had all the configs from the programs i use.

The software you use must have some preconfigured files you can back up to an external drive.

And what you can do, is to say get a new windows key, a new windows drive, and replace the current one with a fresh 10, install the voice recognition software and copy over the config files from the old drive.

And if the software doesn't work and you would have to use month to configure that, then just plop in the old drive and boot windows like if nothing happen :)

Yes, they can.

They just need the Microsoft Speech Recognition Profile Manager Tool[www.microsoft.com] to export and import existing training profiles.

I highly recommend everyone who uses Windows Speech Recognition (or apps that use it like Voice Attack) to make a backup of their profile anyway if it is important to them. You never know when an SSD/HDD's controller will randomly brick, etc. and you'll lose access to that kind of stuff.

Did you get a hack or what? Because I agree with you about the OSs :)
