Errors galore, is it Windows 10 Pro? May 26, 2021 1:01:54 GMT -5

So I'm running into a bit of a fix here... Windows 10 Pro, when I run a test server with no mods (or with them, same deal) I get X3DAudio1_7.dll and XAPOFX1_5.dll missing. Quick search shows these to be DirectX, or needing to reinstall ASM. So I check DirectX, it's up to date (even tried other versions of it to be sure), reinstalled ASM, same errors. So I manually install those dlls, then I get error 0xc000007b. I've restarted (and completely reset) Windows, clean boot attempt, updated video card drivers, chkdsk, literally anything else I could think of, with no luck.

If anyone here knows anything that could be causing this, I'd be forever in your debt. Thanks so much!

Ok to those with the problem, it IS directX. You have to force Windows to update manually, and then you have to download the offline package of DirectX and install it.

However, if you're like me, you'll immediately run into the forever initializing loop error. Haven't figured that one out yet.

I'm not sure what is causing the initializing error for some users recently, I haven't been able to reproduce it on my machine. Bulk Biceps posted a method that fixed it for them on the ASM discord support channel you could give that a shot and let me know if it works for you.
