msvcp100.dllandmsvcr100.dll. If missing, your VC++ 2010 is broken.
The "Better" Check: Use a tool called Dependency Walker (or Dependencies on GitHub) to scan RESIDENT EVIL 6.exe. It will light up red exactly which 0xc00007b culprit is crashing. This saves hours of guesswork.
6) Update GPU drivers
- Install latest drivers from NVIDIA/AMD/Intel official sites (clean install recommended).
