Hello, so I've been trying for 3d, or so, to get this game to play. I've tried putting it on different drives, I've cleared Origin cache, I've repaired and reinstalled VCRedist, ran the repair tool on the game in Origin. I don't know what else to do. It simply won't launch. As soon as I click the launcher, either on desktop, or from Origin itself, I get an error message much the same as everyone else's, except my error code is (0xc000007b). I'm running on Windows 10 with a GTX`1060. Can anyone help me get this going? It's half the reason I'm paying for this Origin Premium, and completely unplayable at this point. Thanks in advance.
-Update-
I've since found other threads with this same problem, and as of now I've tried everything I mentioned above PLUS... completely updated Windows, and graphic driver, deleted Temp files, ran SFC scan, DISM operations, I've searched out the msvcp120.dll and put it in the game's directory, AGAIN uninstalled ALL vcredist., and reinstalled from suggested links, cleared cache yet again, tried a clean boot that yielded no progress, and none of this has worked. The only thing that I didn't try is running the setup file Origin with admin rights, as I'm not extremely positive what that means. I don't have the origin install file anymore as Origin is now installed, and I have no idea where to find that file. I'm completely lost on what else to do with this game. If I can't find a solution soon, I'm just going to drop Origin Premium. No sense in me paying for * I can't play.
-Another Update-
Seems an update dropped for the game last night. After downloading it, I still get the error message from the shortcut, and from Origin I get a flash of the splash screen for the game, and then nothing happens. This is getting annoying. Any help at all?

Hi,
try to
Reinstall .NET framework
Windows 10 uses .NET Framework 4.5 but didn’t include version 3.5 to make it compatible with older apps. This can be the root of the ‘The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)’ error.
