Unable to load library dbdata.dll error when launching the game

Error appears after starting the game and loading anti cheat window.

First message - "Battlefield 2042/dbdata.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 0xc000012f.

After closing the first window, second window appears - "Unable to load library dbdata.dll"

Cannot find any similar posts and the only two solutions on the internet were to do the /scannow thingy in the cmd (did it, no result after "fixing" the files). Another solution was for cracked Odyssey users, who had to exclude this file as not a virus in their Win defender.

What could I do?

EDIT: Solved, dbdata.dll from the internet did not work, tried deleting this file in the game directory, repairing the game and it solved the issue.

  • The download has finished and the error is still here ☹️

    EDIT: Solved with the solution above

    @Dubzaz Wanted to check if the game is still downloaded, or if the error continued after it was finished?

    Currently at 94% and the error still persists.


    Will update once finished.

    Feeling quite lost now as it seems no similar errors are posted on the internet besides Assassins Odyssey.
