Information about the kernel problem
The procedure entrypoint CreateFile2 could not be located in the kernel32.dll

The DirectX Tool Kit supports a broad array of Microsoft platforms and OS configurations, so the first step is to make sure you pick the correct VCXPROJ and/or NuGet package for your intended project and Visual C++ compiler edition.

For Windows desktop applications using VS 2013, you should use: DirectXTK_Desktop_2013.vcxproj -or- NuGet package directxtk_desktop_2013

The coding techniques used in the library are covered in great detail in this article Dual-use Coding Techniques for Games.

The primary control used throughout the code-base is the Windows OS target version which is set by _WIN32_WINNT as per MSDN. With the Windows 8.1 SDK (included with VS 2013) the SDK will default to using _WIN32_WINNT=0x0603 / _WIN32_WINNT=_WIN32_WINNT_WINBLUE which means to build for a Windows 8.1 or later OS. This is why the code uses CreateFile2 which is required for the code to be usable for Windows 8.x Store, Windows phone 8.x, or Windows 10 UWP.

If, however, you use the Windows desktop projects, they build with _WIN32_WINNT=0x0600 / _WIN32_WINNT=_WIN32_WINNT_VISTA and the library will make use of the APIs that work on Windows Vista SP2+KB971644 (needed for Direct3D 11 and Windows 7.

I have this same issue, and I'm on Windows 10. Have you found a solution for it?

I verified the integrity of the game files. It said two files were reacquired, but the game still crashed. However, I reinstalled the game, and now it started up okay. I don't know if it's a permanent solution, but it's worked so far. If you haven't reinstalled the game, you could give it a shot.

Thanks I'll try it
