Whenever I press play on planetside 2 it gives me the error the application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click ok to close the application. and ive been having this error since I installed windows 8.1. I have looked for solutions every where but none of them seem to work.

I have a custom pc:
amd fx 6300
gpu:r9 270x
motherboard:Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P
PSU:Evga 500W

and I am running 64bit windows 8.1


it would be great if somebody could give me a fix to this
thanks in advance

and I tried the dll file thing but I don't know what he means by the second one cause the game im trying to play doesn't use steam
I think its got something to do with windows 8 because it started as soon as I installed windows 8
and one of my friends that has windows 8 is getting the same problem
