The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) Battlefront II
Still have this issue in 2023. Have tried putting system dlls in the folder, reinstalling the game several times, verifying files, updating windows, etc to no avail. This issue started happening after Origin was replaced with EA Games and I still have not found a fix for this. Any help would be appreciated.
Launch process:
After starting the game via Epic Games Launcher, EA Games opens and then asks for administrator privileges, which I accept, and then it closes. Epic Games Launcher is still up and says that Battlefront II is launched; it does not launch. If I open with EA Games instead of Epic Games, essentially the same thing happens. When I directly launch from the exe file, the error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)" pops up.
I have found the solution. I downloaded https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2010-vc-100-sp1-no-longer-supported VC 2013 and not the latest version. I firstly downloaded the the oldest VC versions both x64 and x86 and then tried starting the game. Then the VC above and tried started the game and so one and with VC 2013 it worked. Try installing all VC Versions. It worked for me
