Fix for game not starting (0x000007b error)
Here's a solution to the 0x000007b problem. I found this after
wandering around the internet aimlessly hoping to find a solution.
The
first 8 steps are to find out what file is faulty. If you already know
you can probably skip right to step 9. I knew it was the D3DX9_43.DLL
file in my case, but I still wanted to do everything exactly as I read
it.
- Download Dependency Walker 2.2 x64 from here: http://www.dependencywalker.com/
- Extract depends22_x64.zip to C:\DWalker
- Open a command window (open your Start Menu and type "cmd")
- In the command window, enter this command: cd C:\DWalker
- Next, enter this command: depends.exe /c /f:1 /pb /pp:0 /pg:0 /ot:MinInfo.txt C:\Insert\Path\To\Non\Working\Game.exe -AuthToken=0000 -seekfreeloading
I just copy/pasted the command and replaced the gamepath with the path to my broken game.
- Open MinInfo file in DWalker folder
- Scroll Down to the last line and you'll see something like this:
Loaded "XINPUT1_3.DLL" at address 0x0000000000400000. Successfully hooked module.
Unloaded "XINPUT1_3.DLL" at address 0x0000000000400000.
Loaded "XINPUT1_3.DLL" at address 0x0000000000400000. Successfully hooked module.
Unloaded "XINPUT1_3.DLL" at address 0x00000000004000000
- That's the bad file, in my case it was the D3DX9_43.DLL.
- Search for that file in these 2 locations and delete them.
C:\Windows\System32
C:\Windows\SysWOW64
- Now
download required software and install. I installed DirectX from the
redist folder of "The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing".
- Download a safe app named "All-in-One Runtimes" (http://www.chip.de/downloads/All-in-One-Runtimes_37449838.html)
All-In-One
Runtimes checks the installed runtimes of the Windows operating system
and will automatically display and install the runtimes that are not
installed on the PC system.
- Click install, wait for the checks and installs , reboot.
[I
actually got some error in german at the end of this process. And it
gave me 3 options Abort, Retry and Ignore. After google translating it
seemed that the installer couldn't close some programs before finishing
installing so I just chose ignore.]
