STARFIELD - How do I resolve a Error code: (0xc000001d) when launching the game?

Bethesda was less helpful. They have updated their documentation to include that Starfield has to be installed on a SSD. That was the only support I recieved.

I have since installed it on a SSD and I'm getting the same error. I have reached out to Bethesda as it seems Microsoft are directing folks there.

Hi Louchavelli



Greetings!



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.





We understand that you need help with this concern. We will work together to achieve your desired resolution.



Error code 0xc000001d usually indicates a problem with the game's installation or a missing system file. Here are some additional steps you can try to resolve the issue:



1. Update your graphics card drivers to the latest version.

2. Run Windows Update to ensure that your system is up to date.

3. Disable any antivirus or firewall software temporarily and try launching the game again.

4. Try running the game as an administrator. Right-click on the game's shortcut and select "Run as administrator."

5. Try running the game in compatibility mode. Right-click on the game's shortcut, select "Properties," and then click on the "Compatibility" tab. Check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select an earlier version of Windows from the drop-down menu.

If you still experiencing the same issue, please report your concern to Bethesda Support

We look forward to your reply.

Hi Juhn,

Unfortunately, none of those steps worked.

1) I have the latest drivers for my graphic card

2) Per my initial notes, I have the latest updates available installed

3) I have turned off my firewall and still won't launch

4) Running as administrator has no effect

5) I've tried different compatibility options and none worked.

I've already reached out Bethedesda and still no response.

thanks

thank you for all of the detailed ways you tried to fix the error. I have tried all of these things as well and I am not having any luck. I'm posting 20 days after you. Did anything ever work?
