Game doesn’t start after pressing the “play” button in the launcher. “api-ms-win-core-com-l1-1-0.dll not found”
After that, I downloaded the .dll file and put it in the system32 and sys64 folders. But when I clicked start, it showed a warning code (0x000007b). I repaired the file, uninstall it and re-install it, but I still couldn’t play.
got same issue
What Windows version are you using?
7
managed to run wt from archived pc file in game folder/win32
Yes, I can also run the game with this way too.
I think the cause of the problem is probably at Windows 7. Because I also use Windows 7
thx for tip
(win 7)
in order:
missing " api-ms-win-core-com-l1-1-0.dll " i downloaded one and put it in C;/ windows
then missing " api-ms-win-downlevel-kernel32-l2-1-0 " i downloaded one and put it in C;/ windows
( no idea if adding these 2 dll changed domething )
then error " 0x00000000000000000000007b "
and i saw here the tip to launch game from aces.exe located in gamefolder/win32/aces.exe
which gives:
Error: Would you like to run launcher to check updates ? NO ( i already did via launcher)
warning : 32-bot version of game is not supported. OK
clic fast NO & OK or it freezes to other errors
then game lauches ! great )
No need to reinstall game
I had the same issue just gave a long disclaimer screen
It turned out be a microsft issue for me
same problem here
I have the exact same issue here as you guys do I am also on windows 7. It simply does not start and gives me the same error message.
“The program cant start because api-ms-win-core-com-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer”
I am currently doing a reinstall of the entire game in the hope that it fixes it.
The game worked perfectly fine last night for me, its just this morning’s update that has caused issues.
Run War Thunder directly with aces.exe from C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/War Thunder/win32/ :)
Thx I will try that when the game is reinstalled :)
@admins Can you fix this any timesoon ?
sooo many players using win7. war thunder will lose sooo much players over this bug
Might be microsoft issue… however appear on all WIN 7 users after the update and Gaijin din’t mention anything at changee log. Unless i miss something…
Gaijin should lay on this and give a solution.
I hope they fix this soon, I still use Win 7 and I will not install Win 10 or even 11 because they suck.
Confirmed !!! Game succefully run from in game folder WarThunder\win32\aces.exe
In prompt for update select NO, otherwise will not start.
At next message click OK and game hopefully will start.
…dont delay between the steps.
Thanks for this solution but this is not the long term solution we all want. I trust WT team can fix this case soon.
10 years loyal to Gajin… It’s not time to desert…just hope to quick relief
Tired of this bs that win7 is losing support this and that
I have win10 on work pc, it garbage, it drains cpu 80-90% power and uses 6gb of ram while siting on desktop and doing nothing
Who the f*ck would want to use win 10 over win 7, give me support gajin, no “no support” bs allowed
I have reinstalled the game and the issue is still there. However launching it from the 32bit client does work fine for me so far. So for now it is a workaround until or even when the 64 bit client gets fixed.
Edit: I kind of doubt it will get fixed unfortunately, being that windows 7 is not supported anymore so the issue will not be a very high priority for Gaijin.
