DREADMOOR Error 11c7: How to Fix the CreateProcess() Crash

DREADMOOR's Early Access release is now live, but some players are encountering a frustrating error known as Error 11c7. The issue can cause the game to crash when launching it or even during an active gaming session.

Although the exact cause hasn't been confirmed, the error appears to be associated with a Windows system security feature. The good news is that there's a temporary workaround that may help you get back into the game while the developers work on a permanent solution.

What Causes DREADMOOR Error 11c7?

When the problem occurs, DREADMOOR may suddenly crash and display the following error message:

"Dreadmoor CreateProcess() returned 11c7."

Players can encounter this issue when attempting to launch the game through Steam or while playing. While the developers are aware of the problem, its precise cause remains unclear. Current reports suggest that Windows Smart App Control could be involved.

How to Fix DREADMOOR Error 11c7

Until an official patch becomes available, you can try disabling Windows Smart App Control. Follow these steps:

1. Open the Windows Start Menu.

2. Search for Smart App Control.

3. Open the Smart App Control settings.

4. If the feature is set to On or Evaluation, switch it to Off.

5. Save your changes and return to the desktop.

6. Launch DREADMOOR through Steam again.

This workaround has reportedly resolved the Error 11c7 crash for affected players.

Important: Disabling Smart App Control reduces one layer of Windows security protection. Only consider this workaround if you're comfortable with that trade-off, and re-enable the feature when a permanent fix becomes available. Windows may also require a reset or reinstallation to turn Smart App Control back on, depending on your configuration.

Will Developers Release a Permanent Fix?

Hopefully, players won't have to rely on this workaround for long. The developers are aware of the DREADMOOR Error 11c7 issue, and a permanent solution may arrive through a future Early Access update.

For now, disabling Smart App Control may help affected players launch the game without encountering the same crash. The workaround has also been tested successfully, although results may vary between Windows systems.
