Smite MOBA - Error Code: 0xc000007b

Exclusity · 07 Oct 2014

Hello, I am new to this forum(using it as a last resort type thing).

I use to be able to run Smite fine before, I have no idea what happened, after I reformatted my computer awhile ago I was unable to start it. Recently my hard drive fried and I bought a new one, and I wondered if it fixed the issues, but it did not. I googled this and found out what it is, and haven't found a decent fix yet(hardly any). I opened an elevated CMD and did a "sfc/verifyonly" but it says all files are fine.

If you need any more information let me know and I will try to get it for you.

Thank you for all help. :)
P.S. I should have all updated drivers.

Are you getting a blue screen and then the computer restarts?

Exclusity · 07 Oct 2014

No I am not.

I haven't gotten a bluescreen on this harddrive yet.

two things you can try, first of all if you haven't already, install .net framework 4.5.1 from this link here http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9831986

if that fails to fix the issue, you can try to install the latest directx from here Download DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) from Official Microsoft Download Center

let us know how you get on with this.

Both of these have failed

c++ re-install, possible that your files could have got corrupted from rogue software Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) from Official Microsoft Download Center

Exclusity · 07 Oct 2014

I tried that and it said that I have a newer version of C++ already downloaded, so I went to the website and downloaded/installed C++ Redistributable 64Bit 12.0.21005.
Still does not work, sadly.

I know you have no received a BSOD, but follow this tutorial so I can verify a few things. Like making sure you have all of the windows updates you need. It is very vital that you have all the updates so you are able to run the programs.

That was the things I hope would have fixed this error, 0xc7b usually means a failing hard drive, I strongly suggest you complete a chkdsk /f /r in an elevated command prompt and see how that works out, if there's any errors they should be fixed with this, but that just means you're delaying the inevitable, hope it's not the issue but if you can, post back with your results.

Here you go!

@MrNeeds
If all else fails, I'll be sure to try a chkdsk again(I have tried it before).
