grimrock2.exe Application error

Post by Zanzdm »

Hi, when I want to start the game, then appears this message:
The application was unable to start correctly ( 0xc000007b ). Click OK to close the application.

Can you help me ?

Give us some more information to work on. Operating system, system specs (Be sure you meet the minimum), laptop? PC?. Tried running the game as administrator? Experimented with compatibility modes? Sometimes it does help :)

Win 7 Home 64-bit ( and does not run on any compatibility modes ), PC Intel i5 760, 8 GB ram, MSI Geforce GTX 760 DDR5 2GB.
I tried reinstall visual C from Microsoft web too, nothing helps.

So, my Fridays tonight accorded to tomshardware website:

solution 1: re-installed latest .NET framework – checked, not helped
solution 2: reinstalled Grimrock 2 – checked, not helped
solution 3: run the application as an administrator – checked, not helped
solution 4: restart my computer ( cca. 10 times :) ) – checked, not helped
solution 5: Windows updated ( and all selectable 55 updates ! ) – checked, not helped
solution 6: N/A
solution 7: re-installed Microsoft Visual C++ - checked, not helped
solution 8: re-installed DirectX – checked, not helped
solution 9: repaired using the chkdsk command ( both c: and d: disks for cca. 5 hours ! )
solution 10: replaced downloaded dll.files – checked, not helped

Any ideas before final solution: reinstalling Win 7 ?
...or give up Legend of Grimrock 2 :(

But I don´t understand, Grimrock 1 is not running too, so the problem IS in my software and/or hardware !
