can't launch the game 2021

[Aremih-C]

Hi, After months of not playing the game, I have reinstalled the game to complete the quests. But it doesn't start at all. I tried to :
-reinstall the game
-reinstall Steam
-Move it to another SSD
-Start in admin
- check files

But nothing changes, the game simply does not launch.
When I locate the game file to run it as administrator, I get the error 0xc00007b.

my config:
Asus rog gl503vs laptop
I7 7th generation
Geforce GTX1070
8 GB RAM
Windows 10 64bit(x64)

Any help or sharing of the same experience would be appreciated :'(
Thanks

If you were using FAR, it's possible some of its files corrupted, so uninstall FAR entirely(making sure the game folder only contains the data folder, NieRAutomata.exe, and steam_api64.dll) and see if that allows the game to launch. If it launches correctly, then you can reinstall FAR.
If this does not solve the issue, install the Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable(both x86 and x64), they're required for FAR to work properly.

Thanks for the answer,
No i don't use FAR.
In the game folder there is only Nierautamata.exe, steam_api64.dll and the data folder (i tried to erase the wallpapers folder but it obviously don't change anything)

Then try installing FAR and see if the game launches fine

I'd suggest manual install

Still don't launch after installing FAR manually

Jeez all the posts I have seen of late of people running things with administrator privileges is making me nervous. Dear people please don't carelessly run things with such privileges. I am not directing this at anyone specifically, but people in general.

Ok on to the issue. What is this error? What does it say? Can you maybe provide a screenshot.

Run a disk check of the system drive and the drive the game is installed on.

On steam when I click on the green button "Play" it turn on Blue "stop" for one or two second and come back to Green "Play", Same when i click on the icon on my desk.
The game never appear in the task manager
Don't know what to show with screenshot because nothing really happen.

Judging by this you either have a missing/corrupted file or either some runtime(C++, .NET, DirectX) wasn't installed correctly. If you run Windows 10, then .NET won't be an issue, but on older windows might be neccesary to install .NET 4.5.2 runtime, Microsoft webpage provides installers and steam distributes aswell. They are in "steamapps\common\SteamWorks Shared\..." for the ones given by steam.

Which OS are you running? That may give a clue too.

The runtimes I mention appear on your steam library as "Steam Common Redistributables" or something like that if you toggle the check named "Tools". Maybe fiddling with installing/uninstalling the solves it. Otherwise installing them manually might fix it by browsing "steamapps\common\SteamWorks Shared\..."

Run Verify integrity of game cache.

Already done this 4 times

Did you do a disk check?

Try the System file checker. Open the command prompt (may need administrative privileges), input the following: sfc /scannow

The game could be running on the intel iGPU, have you set the game to run on the 1070?

That doesn't look correct. That's the option for OpenGl rendering. This game uses DirectX so that option will make no difference to the game.

The one you want is likely: mode de gestion de l'alimentation
set it to 'prefer maximum performance' (not sure what the equivalent is in your language though)
