Please help, 0xc000007b error, can't open the game. I want to play!!

[Ubino]

if I run the game from the desktop, steam says that I'm in game and in 1 second stops. When I start the game from steam folder, 0xc000007b error. Please, I need a solution, I don't want to give back the game!

[Ubino]

Please... I'm trying all and nothing

[Rogue]

all, nothing, etc are all vague words.

First your windows must be 64 bit. If not, refund, else make sure it's legit and fully updated. If your windows is K or KN version, might need to install media feature pack...

Disable all antivirus, overlay, filescanning, recording software. Remove 3rd video codecs or prevent tales from using them. Remove or disable any mods you had installed for the game, like vjoy or whatever other stuff.

Install DirectX. Uninstall and reinstall VCredist 2010,2012,2013. Reboot PC .Uninstall and reinstall the game while running Steam as admin. Reboot PC.

All I meaning all you said... and nothing. My windows is 64 bit and my pc is a new assembled pc the demo still doesn't work for me.

Verify your game files.
Unplug all gamepads, if you plugged any.
If nothing - go to Customer Support.

Nothing of nothing...

Use the DependencyWalker tool. Let it analyze the executable and the DLLs it loads and it will tell you which have a 32-bit/64-bit mismatch.

I try. I really don't want to format the pc...

Open the game's executable in the tool and it'll generate a graph of the loaded DLLs, coloring any that have failures in red and dumping out errors or warnings for them.

IESHIMS.DLL not found
MSS64.DLL not found

You have a pending Windows Update that is preventing you from installing the Visual C++ Runtime correctly.

[RiO]

The IESHIMS.DLL and MSS64.DLL references gone missing are normal, afaik. Many software is linked to those DLL without actually loading or using any part of them, because they're part of some type of standard boilerplate for C++ projects generated by Visual Studio.

Look further into the tree and see if you can find any other nodes with problems. (Also expand the DLLs loaded by the game; those can again have references, which may be broken.)

And that would also do it, yes.

VC++ redists; DirectX redists and a whole lot of others install via the same Windows Installer that updates are installed through. (They need proper system-wide side-by-side assembly version registration and that is afaik the only good way to get it.)

So in conclusion, what I need to do?
