Error 0xC0000135 STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND or 0xC0000139 STATUS_ENTRYPOINT_NOT_FOUND (missing DLL)

Game won't start with 0xC0000135 STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND or 0xC0000139 STATUS_ENTRYPOINT_NOT_FOUND? Fix missing DLL, DirectX, Visual C++ or unsupported Windows.

These exit codes mean that Windows could not load a file (DLL) or a function that the game needs.

0xC0000135 - STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND

The OS is unable to load a file that is required to run the game. A missing DLL may belong to the game, the OS or one of the required components (DirectX e.g.).

Please try to:

Verify the integrity of the game.
Re-install DirectX.
Uninstall the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2013 X86 and X64 packages, restart your computer and install the package again (do not use the Repair function).
Uninstall the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015X86 and X64 packages, restart your computer and install the package again (do not use the Repair function).
Run the Windows System File Check tool to repair corrupted system files.
To identify the precise DLL that is causing an issue, download the Microsoft Dependency Walker and open BeamNG.drive.exe with it. The libraries with a red icon are the corrupted ones.

0xC0000139 - STATUS_ENTRYPOINT_NOT_FOUND

One of the reasons you might see this, is when you’re using an unsupported version of Windows (such as Windows XP, 7, etc).

For more information about which Operating Systems are supposed, please check the official requirements page.
For more information about the end of support for Windows 7/8/8.1, please check our official announcement.
