Then please restart your PC and check if there's any changes. Thanks!

@PhoenixTorres I actually went through your profile and found the solution in one of the other threads you commented in! At least it worked for me, so i have high hopes for you! See Imacams' answer in this thread:

"For me this was solution:

install english (US) in windows

https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/...tbasedll/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-4305011

the fact this error got through to release is mind boggling.

Whats really funny is, when you make past the screen where it crashes and it starts to download data, it says "it is recommended that you have the english (US) datapack installed".

Ha ha Microsoft, well played"

Hope this works for you and anyone else who is having this issue!

I'm having the exact same issue. Faulting module is ucrtbase.dll. Exception code 0xc0000409. I had the game through Steam at first but refunded it after lots of trying. Got it through the Windows store directly and get the same error. I've tried:

• Run as admin
• completely reinstalling anything dotnet related
• completely uninstalling visual studio redists, and installing the most recent ones
• updating Windows (currently on 1909, I'm not getting 2004 yet)
• Graphics drivers uninstall and reinstallation of the most recent version
• Chipset driver update
• Installing the game on different hard drives
• Steam version of the game
• MS store version of the game

I just hope this can be resolved somehow. I'm almost tempted to do a clean windows install but I really don't want to have to do that yet.

Hey phoenix,

My windows 10 was also on English. But if you look in the language settings via the windows 10 settings app you'll see that there is a seperste entry for "app language". Even though my regular language was set on en-us, this other one was set to a different
language. Might be worth checking out. Putting this one on English us changed a few things. It turned the 24hr clock into a 12hr clock for example.

Feanor9,

Awesome! I'm happy that worked for you! If this is helping

I did find that thread and check to see, but my Win install is native En-US. There are no additional packages to install so unfortunately that was not a solution for my issue.

Blue Skies!
