Error at game start

[SERKS13]

Hi. When running the game from steam - kenshi_x64.exe gives a system error 0xc000007b.

What I did, in an attempt to solve the problem:

• uninstalled and reinstalled dx9-10-11

• uninstalled and reinstalled dotnet 4.0-5.0

• uninstalled and reinstalled VCredist_x64 and x84 from 2008 to 2022

• validated Steam files

Can you advise me what else I can do to play the game?

My Hardware:

• ryzen 5 1400

• B450 motherboard

• Radeon RX 570 Series

• RAM - 16gb

And I updated the video card driver

First thing I'd do is install all the files in: Kenshi\dependencies

Might not work, since you've already been reinstalling the related programs. But sometimes Kenshi is weird and needs a very specific version installed, so it comes packaged with them for this very reason.

Otherwise, I'd run Dependencies to see if it can identify the issue.

I used this utility, and looking at the result - there is a problem with the MSVCR100.dll library. I deleted this file, reinstalled it, tried to register it - no result. I run powerShell with the command

Code: Select all

for %1 in (*.dll) do regsvr32 /s %1

. Also, I ran the

Code: Select all

sfc /scannow

command and recovered some damage.

No results...error 0xc000007b.

I don't know anymore: is it a problem with Win10 OC or the game itself on my configuration. Maybe someone has faced with this?

My guess would be that you have the wrong version of that file. It has been a thing in the past for other users. I assume you need the 64 bit version, and that you may have the 32 bit version. Given that your error code relates to attempting to use a 32 bit system to run a 64 bit program.

Searching around it looks like it's supposed to come from one of these files here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... x?id=26999

So what I would do is delete the file, then install one of the versions of that redistributable linked above. If it doesn't work, try again with a different version. And so on.

Nothing has changed. Can you download the 2 msvcr100.dll files (from Windows\SysWOW64 and Windows\System32) here, please? Maybe after such a replacement everything will be OK. Right now - nothing has changed after removing/installing the file. I disabled the antivirus for the time of installation. Why is this happening, I do not know.

Here, you can try mine, see if they work for you. They work fine on my end.

thank. But yesterday I went to extremes - I restored the system through the Windows tools. It took a couple more hours, but now everything works. In case anyone else has this issue, I suggest pinning this thread.
