can't start the game: b1 CreateProcess() returned 2e4.

[dasegaa]

Hello;

I can't run the game. The game was working fine until the last patch. This is the error message I am getting when trying to start the game.:

Error Couldn't start: "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\BlackMythWukong\b1\Binaries\Win64\b1-Win64-Shipping.exe" b1 CreateProcess() returned 2e4.

I've already tried running the game as an administrator, checking the game files for integrity, reinstalling the game, reinstalling Steam, and using a Windows restore point.

My specs;
Windows 11
GeForce 4070 + latest drivers
AMD 5 7600
32 GB RAM

I appreciate any help

Find \b1\Binaries\Win64 in your gamefolder

Delete the files INSIDE Win64 and let redownload these files with "checking gamefiles"

Hey man, did you find a way to solve this? I've got the same issue, tried everything, every type of update (even Bios), all kind of uninstall/install and restart but nothing worked so far :/

Bonjour, j'ai le même problème, j'ai vérifier tous les drivers, pilotes, désinstaller, réinstaller, désactiver pare-feu, vérifier les fichiers, démarrer comme administrateur... j'ai tout essayer, j'espère qu'un correctif sera bientôt proposer.

I checked the Windows event viewer and there is this error:

Has anyone had a similar error?

EDIT:
My problem was a graphics card that did not support DirectX 12 🙈 I found out this when I tried to run the game on Linux Mint (Steam + Proton). After upgrading from GTX 760 to GTX 1050 TI, the game launched! 🎉

Guys, I found a way. Remove the antiviruses, they do not allow you to download and run this file!
