That exit code means a DLL is missing from your game server and or Windows GSM. You need to check the logs to see what is causing the issue.

Have the same [ERROR] Exit Code: -1073741515
On old PC the server is working, I prepared new fresh PC as a serwer and had the error.
After search I found that "d3dcompiler_43.dll" was missing on new PC / Server,
I copy the .dll file from old to new and new server start working.

Search on old server the .dll files in below locations and copy to the same location on new server.
c:\Windows\System32\d3dcompiler_43.dll
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\d3dcompiler_43.dll

This worked for me, hope this will help.
