Hi everyone,

So once again I've been struggling with this weird error at launch, and can't seem to find any other solutions. Here's what I did.

1. I reinstalled the game.
2. reinstalled my vc_redistributables, to have the most updated version.
2. I reinstalled OpenAl
3. I checked for the latest nVidia drivers, and made sure that my laptop forces the use of it on the HotlineGl.exe
4. I disabled all possible monitoring and antivirus software
5. I disabled the nVidia experience overlay, disabled steam (using GOG version though, but I'm not taking any chances whatsover) and anything else that mighr provide overlays or intervene with the application.


After a couple of reinstalls, disables and reboots I thought I was prepared. Still: 0xc000007b error.

I'm drawing a blank here guys, what else can be done? I really want to play the updated version, any suggestions would be highly appreciated. I'm also attaching the first part of my dxdiag logs, so you get the gist of the system.

I would really appreciate additional help, because this is just plain weird.
