DayZ_x64.exe - bad image error status 0xc000012f

[jack tree]

unable to play the game anymore, not sure why. suddenly anytime I try and boot the game I get the bad image error 0xc000012f. No idea how to fix it, ive tried reinstalling the game 4 times now. tried uninstalling/reinstalling all C++ redistributables. No clue whats causing this.

according to sources ive seen most people have this on armaIII. Its something about corrupted files either in game or system folders. Majority is left in unresolved state with no further comments from their original posters.
Id try two things since you have done some testing yourself:
1) remove .exe files from games directory, use steam verification to get new ones and check results.
2) reinstall everything. I mean system, from scratch. Because why the hell not. Its an ultimate testing method, useful when finding unknown corrupted files/libraries is too time consuming.

ahh good ol bohemia interactive, game doesnt work you have to reinstall windows to fix......... i guess im just done playing the game then lol.

No, its not their solution. Theirs was to share crash data, verify files, play around with c++ and directx. Ive checked most of similar topics which gave me nothing interesting.
System reinstalling is annoying thing to do, with all the important data that needs to be saved, but it helps in many unresolved cases. Its up to you if such testing method is worth your while.

Heres the fix for anyone who stumbles across this and has the same error I had.

uninstall everything.

go to your documents folder, delete any day z folder there if you have one. go to C:\Users\-yourusername-\AppData\Local\DayZ delete this folder.

install day z experimental and reinstall day z, run experimental once and join a test server.

go to documents folder, find the day z exp folder, make a copy of it. Now rename it from DayZ Exp to DayZ. inside this renamed folder, change DayZ Exp.cfg to DayZ.cfg. and if you have this file stats.Dayz Exp.json to stats.Dayz.json. Basically just remove "Exp" from any files that are named that.

this is the fix, from bohemia support, worked for me.
