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.

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.

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.
I have the same problem (Windows 7). Running War Thunder directly from aces.exe doesn’t change anything.
it seems fixed for me after downloading 0.6 GB of data
seems version 2.33.0.14 was bugged
Did you try launching aces.exe from the system32 folder within the warthunder game folder?
Also I cant confirm the post above this one yet as I’m not booting WT till tomorrow.
Friend of mine running 7 patched and was able to launch the game normally.
Nice, I’ll test mine tomorrow fingers crossed :)
I had the same issue on X Box. For me it was an issue with my Microsoft account, and I re-signed back in and it was fine then.
Not sure if that has anything to do with PC as I have never played on the PC.
Hotfix in the patch solved the issue for me when I checked this morning. Nice that it was fixed so quickly.
Hello,
Win7 launching issue should be resolved in this patch:
THX Gaijin, it is working again :)
