SimpleGraphic v2.5.4 fails to start on Windows 7: kernel32.WaitOnAddress entry point not found #105

Description

@eugenikus8

After updating from SimpleGraphic v2.5.3 to v2.5.4, Path of Building no longer starts on Windows 7.

The application immediately shows the following error:

The procedure entry point kernel32.WaitOnAddress could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0.dll.

Observations:

  • v2.5.3 works correctly on the same system.
  • v2.5.4 fails before the application starts.
  • Looking at the source code, I couldn't find any direct calls to WaitOnAddress.
  • The project still defines _WIN32_WINNT as WIN7, so this may be caused by the toolchain, runtime library, or one of the updated dependencies rather than the project code itself.

It looks like something in the v2.5.4 build now imports kernel32!WaitOnAddress, which makes the executable incompatible with Windows 7.

Could you please check whether the release was built with a newer runtime or SDK that introduced this dependency?
