Persistent and widespread ActivationUI.exe error, 0xc000007b
Hi, I have also bought SWBF2 Celebration edition from Steam recently and I also have the ActivationUI.exe problem. I will not join one of the other threads discussing their experience with this issue so I will not hijack their thread with my specs and experience and whatnot.
I've looked everywhere and tried everything that Google results could provide, to no avail.
I have done the following:
-reinstalled Dx11
-reinstalled Microsoft C++ Visual Studio Redistributables
-updated Windows to full and restarted (several times!)
-uninstalled from Steam and tried launching purely from Origin
-disabled all game overlays (discord, origin, steam, you name it)
-ran both Origin and SWBF2 as administrator
-ran /sfc scannow through my command prompt as administrator (no problems found)
The game still does not even try to launch, citing the same aforementioned error.
It is now your turn to tell me something new to try. All the threads I have found have not actually ended with an official solution coming from EA, which should be embarrassing. Someone surely should actually know what to do next, correct?
I have attached an image of the error window just so there is no doubt, and a copy of my DxDiag.txt so you know what I'm working with.
I look forward to your response.
This thread is no longer required. I won't delete it in case someone sees it and tries this fix for themselves.
I went into "Programs list" on my PC, and "repaired" literally all of the Microsoft Visual Studio Redistributables (left-click, modify, repair) and now the game works.
This 0xc00007b error seems to come because Battlefront2 and other Origin games were designed for 32bit systems despite nearly everyone running 64bit systems, and requiring files that cross between the two systems is bound to cause problems.
Good luck to you other problem-solvers out there, should you find this. I basically went through every Youtube tutorial I could find about this error to fix it, so if this does not help you, your path is long before you.
