EoCApp.exe - Bad Image Error Status 0xc0000020

[RoadeOh]

So, I began my first play through, shut it down and when now trying to restart the game, I get this error:

D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Divinity Original Sin 2\bin\iggy_w64.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc0000020.

and this error:

D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Divinity Original Sin 2\bin\osiris_x64.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc0000020.

Anyone know how to fix this, as apparently re-installing doesn't work, according to some other threads I've read...?

Uninstalling and re-installing did work for this issue, for now. Hopefully I won't have to wait to download 20gigs of data everyday to play a game I paid for...

That sucks Axton... haha.

One thing I did prior to deleting and re-installing it was, go into my Anti-Virus (McAfee LiveSafe) and in the "Real-Time Scanning", exclude those files. Perhaps try that and see if that makes a difference mate...? I haven't had to re-install it since. Fingers crossed I don't have to right now, as I'm about to boot it up again... haha.

If you reinstall it, copy the directory over to another folder on your desktop or something before launching the game. It is FAR faster to "install" a clean copy from your own Harddrive than it would be to redownload it.

When you want to play, go into steamapps folder, common, Divinity folder, delete, copy your "backup Vanilla version" and paste it in the common folder and launch. I did this with skyrim when experimenting with mass quantities of mods. Sucks that a 20 gig game eats up 40 gigs, but it beats having to download 20 gigs with (insert internet download speed here)

Hey mate, have you tried doing what I mentioned above

"One thing I did prior to deleting and re-installing it was, go into my Anti-Virus (McAfee LiveSafe) and in the "Real-Time Scanning", exclude those files. Perhaps try that and see if that makes a difference mate...?"

I still haven't had to re-download it since I did that.

Of course, you should also try MrGoodHand's suggestion as well.

Hope you get the game going mate, as it's superb!

Finally I find someone with the same issue I have. I will try your fix. I already deleted and am reinstalling but will try when it is loaded. Ironically i have the same antivirus software you do. If this works I am sending you a Christmas card!

Same Problem here +1

Good luck mate, and I prefer my Christmas cards, like all of my gifted cards, with a little dirty humour, FYI...

Hey mate, did you try my solution, that I mentioned above:

"One thing I did prior to deleting and re-installing it was, go into my Anti-Virus (McAfee LiveSafe) and in the "Real-Time Scanning", exclude those files. Perhaps try that and see if that makes a difference mate...? I haven't had to re-install it since."

Alternatively, MrGoodHand left another solution you could try.

I said it before, and I'll keep saying it - the game is well worth the effort to reach the point of being able to play, because it's so damn good... Good luck mate!

The two in the error:

D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Divinity Original Sin 2\bin\iggy_w64.dll

D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Divinity Original Sin 2\bin\osiris_x64.dll

Good luck mate!

After adding the files mentioned earlier to my "exlude"list, I just went to the properties for the game in Steam and ran a "validate files" scan. It found 2 files with issues and the game works now without uninstalling.
