Hello! I recently purchased The Sims 4 and when attempting to open the game I get a "TS4.exe - Application Error." It says "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application." Now, I've tried everything that I have been able to find on the forums and google in general, so any help would be much appreciated! I'll include my DxDiag as well.
