r5apex error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000094)

Hey guys. Not really sure where this error came from as my game was working fine the day before and not changes were made to my system since that time. But I can't launch my game anymore. I've already tried a number of fixes, including but not limited to, restarting my PC, reinstalling apex, verifying files, running as admin, and verifying that my game was compatible with my OS. None have worked and all forums I could find on this issue were 2-5 years old. Most of which stated that the fixes I used worked for them, but that is specifically not the case for me. If anyone has some insight it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    Hey @APOPU, 

    The error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000094)" seems to be a Windows problem.
    Could you please try the following possible fixes for this issue?

    To resolve the 0xc0000094 error and game crashes, try these steps:
    1. Reinstall Visual C++ Redistributables: Download and install the latest versions (x64 and x86) from Microsoft's website.
    2. Update/Reinstall DirectX: Ensure DirectX is up to date using the DirectX End-User Runtime Installer.
    3. Check Event Viewer: Look for game or launcher errors under Windows Logs > Application.
    4. Reinstall Game to a New Location: Install on a different drive or folder to rule out corruption.
    5. Run Windows Updates: Ensure your system is fully updated.
    6. Run System File Checker: Open Command Prompt (Admin) and run sfc /scannow.
    7. Disable Overclocking: If overclocked, return to default settings.
    8. Clear Epic Games Cache: Delete the webcache folder in C:\Users\[YourUserName]\AppData\Local\EpicGamesLauncher\Saved and restart the launcher.



      If the issue persists after trying the above, could you please let us know: 
    • Is this issue occuring only for Apex or are other applications affected?
    • Is it occuring on Steam / EA App or Epic Games?
    Thanks for the report and hope it helps!
