First of all let me clear somethings:

1. I'm not sure if this method could work with other version of the game, I only tried this method on the epic game version.

2. This method is only for those who did the other fixes, for example the dll methods where you need it to download a few dll files manually and put it in the system32, basically the popular tutorials at YouTube or Reddit, but if you want to try this method without haven't done this things they you are free to do so.

3. Reinstall GTA V and install Rockstar Launcher.

4. Install DirectX

Anyway after clearing those things let's get started.

First of all you need to reinstall GTA V (And even Epic games launcher) once you did that, go ahead and go to google and download DirectX (Make sure you download it from Microsoft sites, I don't want your PC with viruses)

And from here is where it gets interesting, the main cause of this 0xc00007b error is because of a VC++ file, and if I'm honest I don't know which one, that's why I went though the whole internet to find a Repack of all VC++ redistributables and I finally found it (And thanks to this repack I could solve this problem)

Link: https://m.majorgeeks.com/files/details/visual_c_redistributable_runtimes_aio_repack.html

Once opened and installed all the VC++ redistributables, go ahead to the GTA V Main folder, and search for PlayGTAV.exe, right click it, run administrator and it should work now, though we are not finish.

When Rockstar launcher opens it will never load, that's why you need to close the launcher, open it again and you will see that Rockstar Launcher will recognize GTA V and you can start playing, but before you start playing, go to Sound settings (in windows) / microphone settings and uncheck the second option, why are we doing this? Because when you open GTA V there will be a strange sound and unchecking this option will fix this problem, though if the problem still persist when you open the game, go to settings and then go to chat and the weird sound will stop.

I hope this method help you and have a great play!
