Error Code : 0301 C000007B

How to fix?
Help please

 

I have that error too. I tried the 'force check' function of the launcher with no success.
The error pops up once the anti-cheat window opens, just before the game itself would launch.

 

Did you find the solution?

 

No. I re-added the game folder to my anti-virus, no success.

Edit: Might have something to do with the latest Windows 10 update.

 

We must find it now

 

Downloaded another update to Windows 10, updated video drivers, no change.

 

I have the same problem, Windows 10 fully updated, using windows defender, already put the game folder and all the executables as exceptions, whitelisted the exe's at the firewall and turned firewall off too, all drivers up to date, no GeForce Experience or any overlay bullshit, everything running as admin, still get the error everytime i start the game.
@edit: its a smartguard problem, i used the windows event viewer and found out that the error is that the smartguard fail to initiate with the message: Service failed to start due to internal error: 0xc000007b
I knew smartguard was trouble in windows 10 because i've played lineage 2 servers who used it and they always had to provide the windows 10 users some patch to play, hope the devs read this.

 

same issue here but run win7 and no issues with any other game. Tried adding to exceptions on Avira and get a new error about missing files

 

I hadt he same problem the my 1rst issue was the 0301 code but I solved it when I installed new C++ runtime (2017)now I have message with this:

I did the same trouble shooting and I use win7,too

 

that is the message i got too. made sure everything is up to date and going to install full client and maybe that will work. I wish someone had a real solution to this

win7 here and getting same issues.

 

>Tried uninstalling/reinstalling Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2017 (32 and 64 bit)
>Tried uninstalling Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2017 (32 and 64 bit) and installing Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2015 (32 and 64 bit). (Both can not be present at the same time, it seems)
>Ensured .Net Framework was latest version available
>Tried "Run as administrator" for both .exe files present in the CProgramData/SmartGuard/bdo/smrt3d/beta/data/(bunch of letters and numbers) folders.
>Added above folders to antivirus exceptions
>Added both .exe files in above folders to firewall exceptions

No results.

 

same here

 

Also checked out the website for SmartGuard (https://smart-guard.eu/en). Unfortunately I can't access their forums unless I buy the product first.

 

Not sure what you mean by this.

Update:

I attempted to roll back my windows 10 updates, and ended up bricking my OS. So, I started fresh with a clean install.
This fixed the error I was having, but introduced the 'Failed to init security' error. To fix this, I attempted everything I could think of. Nothing worked until I tried the solution in post number 2 in this thread:
http://forum.gameznetwork.com/threads/i-dont-understand-why.220737/#post-2128862

Specifically the program you can download here: https://www.computerbase.de/downloads/systemtools/all-in-one-runtimes/

Now I'm chopping trees like it's 1999.

Hope this helps!

 

can you be more explicit please? maybe more details or some screenshots would be awesome. ty

 

Although this is a very old post, i recently encounter this thing and having trouble with 0301 C00007b Error,
You will need to turn off memory integrity for it to fix.
Start menu > Windows Security > Device Security > Core isolation details > Toggle On the switch for Memory integrity, hope someone who have this error will find this useful in the future.

 

It worked! You saved me hours and it was indeed useful, thank you very much!
