This is a problem with the version of the api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0.dll for 64-bit Windows 7.Unfortunately, I didn't succeed, but in any case, thanks for your responsiveness.
Your computer most likely has a version of api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0.dll between 10.0.10240.16384 - 10.0.17134.12, and HeatPatcher requires an older version of api-ms-win-core- synch-l1-2-0.dll 6.3.9600.16384.
If you replace api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0.dll in the path C: \ Windows \ System32, then other applications on your computer may stop working, so the actions should be as follows:
• Copy HeatPatcher.exe and api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0.dll (6.3.9600.16384) to the Heat_0.3.3.1 game folder (where the Heat.exe launching file is located)
• Run HeatPatcher.exe and do everything it asks
• Without starting the game, close HeatPatcher.exe and delete HeatPatcher.exe and api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0.dll (6.3.9600.16384)
• Run the game Heat.exe and click the Authenticate button ... Enjoy...
