It turns out that the appearance of error 0xC0020015 is caused by antiviruses and programs aimed at combating various malware. In particular, the problem occurs for users of the Spybot – Search & Destroy program. Try to deactivate the software to protect your computer and launch the toy you need.

If the error goes away, you can:

  • add the game to the list of security software exclusions;
  • disable security software whenever you want to enter the game;

  • run the game as administrator;
  • update graphics drivers for your video card;
  • install the latest versions of DirectX, Microsoft Visual Studio C ++, .NET Framework and other similar software;
