Need for Speed Unbound and error 0xc000007b
This application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). The most common reason for the error when starting the application 0xc000007b is problems with NVidia drivers.
Possible Solutions
- Reinstall video card drivers
- Try running the game as an administrator
- Install/update DirectX, Visual C++, and .Net Framework. Download all files only from the official Microsoft website.
- Open the Run command prompt from the Start menu and type sfc /scannow. With this command, your PC will scan the system files and fix some errors.
- Remove unnecessary software that may conflict with the video driver. Basically, these are various "improvers" of graphics. The fewer additional applications you have running, the better.
The method with Dependency Walker 64bit
- Download and extract Dependency Walker 64bit.
- Run the program, go to View > Full paths. Now select the Need for Speed Unbound .exe file. After you have selected the .exe of the game, a window may pop up in which you will see errors, just close it. In the module section, scroll down to the bottom of the error block and you will see several values in the columns.
- Now in the CPU column, all DLL files should be x64-bit for your game. If there is an x86 DLL file will be in the red CPU column. This file is what causes the 0xc000007b error.
- Now go to dll-files.com and download the 64-bit version of this DLL file there and place it in the root folder of the game and in C:\Windows\system32. The game should now launch without problems.
DLL error in Need for Speed Unbound
Errors like: dll is missing, d3d11.dll, msvcp110.dll not found, and others.
IMPORTANT: It is not recommended to download DLL files from third-party sites in an attempt to replace your missing or corrupted DLL files. Use this option only as a last resort.
Standard actions when a DLL error occurs:
- Restart your computer
- Restore the deleted DLL file from the recycle bin (or use a file recovery program). Of course, this option is suitable if you deleted the file
- Scan your computer for viruses and malware
- Use System Restore (see instructions online)
- Reinstall Need for Speed Unbound
- Update your drivers
- Using System File Checker in Windows 10 (See instructions online)
- Update Windows if patches are available
- Perform a clean install of Windows
- If the DLL error persists after a clean install of Windows, then this problem is not related to the software, but to the components of your PC.
Errors with specific DLLs
MSVCP140.dll error message. You need to update/install the Visual C++ package.
This can be done at
If you have any USB controllers (or other devices) connected to the network, try disabling them. Startup crashes with crash module names ntdll.dll and EZFRD64.DLL can (for the latter in particular) be related to USB controllers or PS2 to USB adapters (for various games).
If you are experiencing api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll errors on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, Microsoft has released a patch to fix the problem.
If you receive an error message MSVCR120.dll, go to C:\Windows\System 32 and look for "MSVCR120.dll". Delete this file. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Need for Speed Unbound\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2013 and run "vcredist_x64.exe". Then click "repair" (fix).
Optimizing Need for Speed Unbound on PC
This is a rather broad question. There are many things you can do to improve performance.
Update your
Lower graphics settings
The most important thing and the simplest. Try lowering the game's graphic settings to the lowest possible resolution. Keep in mind that settings such as anti-aliasing, texture quality, shadow resolution, and various 3D effects require the most performance.
Overclock your CPU and GPU
If you have good cooling, overclock your GPU and/or CPU. The result of overclocking computer components is increased heat dissipation, and therefore a reduction in service life. Therefore, first of all, you should take care of good cooling. Many modern motherboards already come with software in which you can increase the frequency of the video card or processor. Please note that some video cards (usually with the addition of OC Edition in the name) already come from the manufacturer with overclocked frequencies. Overclocking is a good option if you have a separate system unit. But, for example, it is better not to take risks with laptops, since their cooling capabilities in them are very limited. You can find more information on this subject on the Internet.
Use software from the graphics card manufacturer
AMD Gaming Evolved / NVIDIA GeForce Experience / Intel HD Graphics Control Panel - utilities with all sorts of functions, including game optimization.
Use utilities to clean up junk and unnecessary files
There are many special utilities for cleaning and optimizing your PC. Glary Utilities 5 is a popular utility with a full range of tools aimed at cleaning the system of unnecessary files.
Disk Optimization
Go to disk properties. Select the "Tools" tab -> click the "Defragment (or Optimize)" button. In the same place in the properties, there is the cleaning and checking of the disk.
NVIDIA / AMD Control Panel
In the NVIDIA (or AMD) Control Panel, go to the Manage 3D Settings (NVIDIA) tab, or Games -> 3D Application Settings (AMD). You can set both global graphics processing settings here, and separately for Syberia: The World Before. Or under "Adjust Image Settings with Preview" (for NVIDIA), then "User Settings -> Performance" by moving the slider all the way to the left.
Remove unnecessary processes from startup
Click the Start button (in the lower-left corner). Type msconfig in the search box, then press Enter. The system configuration window will open, select the "Startup" tab (in Win 10, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE and open the same tab). You will see a list of programs that automatically load with Windows. Disable the download of everything unnecessary (do not remove applications you do not know from startup, otherwise you risk disrupting the computer). Restart your computer. Temporarily disable applications (antivirus, Skype, etc.). Launch Syberia: The World Before.
OS Optimization
Free up some resources by turning off Windows visual effects, deactivating unused services, built-in debuggers, and more.
Increase RAM using a flash drive
Right-click on the USB drive and select "Properties". Go to the "Ready Boost" tab, and check "Use this device".
"Not enough memory" error
Possible reasons: the game does not have enough RAM; there is not enough space on the hard disk for the paging file; you yourself adjusted the size of the paging file (or disabled it, or used software); some program is leaking memory (open task manager CTRL+ALT+DELETE and sort apps by memory consumption).
DirectX error in Need for Speed Unbound
Errors like: DirectX Runtime Error, DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG, DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED, DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Perform a "clean" install of the graphics card driver only. Don't install audio, or GeForce Experience... Same for AMD.
- Disable the second monitor (if available) and any other peripherals.
- Disable G-Sync.
- Use System File Checker
- For NVIDIA cards. Right-click on desktop -> NVIDIA Control Panel. At the top where File, Edit, View... click on "Help" and turn on "Debug Mode".
- Sometimes the cause may be overheating of the video card. Use the FurMark utility to test your graphics card under load. Try lowering the frequencies. For more information, see the Internet on request: undervolting and lowering the frequency of the video card.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 error
"The following component(s) are required to run this program: Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Runtime"
Install the missing library from the Microsoft website.
Low FPS in Need for Speed Unbound
Follow the steps below. Update your video driver. Restart your computer. Lower the resolution and select the reduced complexity of the visual effects in the graphics options. It is not recommended to use all kinds of software "accelerators", for the reason that their work in itself takes resources, and besides, their real usefulness is usually extremely insignificant. However, you can infect your PC with a virus. Reinstall Windows. This method should be considered as a last resort if other options do not work. The bottom line is that after several years of operation, the operating system grows with obsolete files and processes to such an extent that the work of applications is significantly slowed down.
