Democracy 4 won't start

Hello, I’m having a problem where Democracy 4 won’t start. Each time I try to run the game, I get this popup:

Democracy4.exe Application Error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I’ve tried running the .exe as administrator. I’ve rebooted my pc. I’ve fully updated my pc as well as all of my pc’s drivers. I’m running Windows 10 64-bit.

I’ve made no progress in solving this issue and would really love to play Democracy 4. I purchased the alpha 10 days ago and still cannot play it. :frowning: If anyone can think of any potential solution, I would love to hear it.

Have already tried that. Some people in the forums were saying that the 32-bit version should be installed rather than the 64-bit version to fix the issue. I have tried with both versions and have had no luck. :frowning:
