tonbogiri Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 3 days ago i was able to play skyrim properly, after that i came back to skyrim, launched the game and it gave me the error (the procedure entry point createDXGIFactory2 could not be located in the dynamic link library c:\Windows\SYSTEM\d3d11.dll) I recently installed Familiar faces and Genesis. But uninstalled it and tried to run again, so I don't think this was the cause as well. So, i narrowed it down to sweetFx, it had nothing to do with the mods that i had as i uninstalled every mod i had and reinstalled them and ordered them properly with LOOT. when i removed sweetFx via FXAA ENB SweetFX Manager, skyrim launched but only after the bethesda screen loaded,i beg of you please help me D: I need SKYRIM!!!! Current OS : Windows 10 - 64 bitGPU : GTX970 4GBDirectX version : 12Where skyrim is kept : D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim P.S : Skyrim was able to properly launch even after i updated to Windows 10 so I'm sure it has nothing to do with Windows.

drhossa9 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I had the same issue yesterday.According to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn268307%28v=vs.85%29.aspx, createDXGIFactory2 is not located in d3d11.dll but in dxgi.dll. I found a 32 bit version of dxgi.dll in my Sykrim folder and a 64 bit version in %windir%\System32. The 32 bit version, however, did not contain the createDXGIFactory2 symbol. Local dlls are preferred over those in System32, so my fix was deleting (or better renaming) the dxgi.dll in my Skyrim folder.I hope this helps. P.S.: I still don't know exactly why/how this broke at all. Maybe it's related to a recent update of the nvidia driver to version 355.82. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wr3zzz Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 drhossa9's solution works for me. Thanks for the explanation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heroesandvillains Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 This solution works. For you people finding this on Google, I had this exact issue with Windows 10 and Fallout New Vegas. What I decided to do was rename the files (as suggested above). For whatever reason (I know nothing about computers, I read this on another site) adding ".bak" to the file names worked. I think this is an ENB issue with either Windows 10 or the Nvidia Game Ready Driver for Metal Gear Solid TPP. Or maybe both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewarre Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) same here [win10] all triggered after upgrading Nvidia drivers..... thanks drhossa9 for posting solution Edited October 4, 2015 by Ewarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
userxblade Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Interestingly enough, renaming it does allow me to launch the game. But the ENB I'm using (that's associated with the .dll file) isn't even working now. It's essentially no different than deleting the entire ENB. Is there a way to fix this and still get the ENB to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malfurionxtc Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 rename dxgi.dll to d3d11.dll I guess... I did it , game now launch, I select to load save, and on loading, skyrim stops responding (music still plays tho) ... I think I might give up on sweetFX and go back to ENB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
