GTA V doesn't work

[hatchens]

I've tried almost everything I found here, but nothing works.
the game loads and when i click on story mode the game shuts down.
I checked the drivers, integrity, reinstalled the whole game and rockstars and nothing.
The game used to run fine, after a while I wanted to turn it on and it didn't work.
Does anyone know what to do with it?

I am getting 0xc00007b error when launching. Do you have any idea how to fix it. I have tried everything. Updated driver, .Net, Direct x, Visual c++

Depending 'where' the launch process gets to.....

c000007b can be from controlled folder access in windows defender - if it is on, it is likely blocking R* launcher, social club, and gta5. Add them to allowed apps list. Whitelist/exclude isn't enough through defender at last test. The 'error' window may point at exactly 'what' is having issue - very common it is social-club-setup.

Info I've used to fix c00007b for years -

c00007b can also be from missing media feature pack if you are on a N/KN version of windows. Properly install the media feature pack.

Can also occur if you've put the wrong version of necessary files into the gtav folder (don't do this -.-), and didn't remove them after various updates. Clean folder if you did (delete anything NOT .rpf, and NOT a folder - yes, view file extensions before doing this -.-).

Can also occur with problems in relation to missing/corrupt/wrong version files in windows system32 folder - usually, directx, where simply reinstalling directx isn't enough and it needs a good cleaning/removal of the various dx9 setup provided files. There is a .bat in the link above to do this - scroll down to #1 there.

If you run gta5.exe from the game folder by itself --- 'sometimes' - it may tell you exactly which file it is having issues with.

Then, depending on responses to fixing those things you call back into the usual - onedrive, permissions, lack of admin, background programs, gpu drivers, other drivers, corrupt files, leftover mods, vcredists, malware/adware, connectivity issues, etc.
