Game Crashes on Start - dinput8.dll is the source

3 days ago my game spontaniously stopped starting, giving the following error message:

(translated from german to english)

Deleting DINPUT8.dll lets me run the game, but without any mod. Without the mods i cannot really play it (as all of you should have experienced..).

I already replaced the fixes DSCfix and DSfix, but this still doesn't help.

 

Can anybody help? :(

Give me some time, I'll package up a replacement DX package for you and provide the link to it here.

That is just the Direct-x files made for any games, redistribute and only what is required, your files have been damaged by some other form of software attack. If this does not work, let me know.

Reinstall the game, it's corrupted and no telling what, the only thing that might have changed in the time you speak of is a Microsoft-update, a .net function or a system file got damaged. Deleting that file is allowing the game to run, the files 'IT" is dependent on can be see in the dependency string of the viewing window of cff explorer, an NT Core program we use to analyze these games files with, the same program for use in the 2gig enabler. what you do is look at and list the files that (DINPUT8.dll) touches, just like the game, that file has it's own dependents and one of them went down. deleting that file released the main executable for that game to run, Now, the ONLY thing left is whats preventing the mods from being enabled. If that what? is controlling your mods? then uninstall it and clean the system. manually enable the mods by typing out their names in what ever that game uses as a plugin.txt file.

That's the best I can offer for a game I don't use.

Umm... I have already uninstalled and re-installed the game twice, but I will delete all the mods now and see if I can get those running.

 

I have contacted the Steam Support before and they told me to re-install GFWL & DirectX within the \REDIST directory.

I even installed the newest version of .NET 4.0 framework in order to get the game running.

 

One thing is that Intel's Rapid Storage Technology software stopped working the day after, too. But I was able to repair this one and it works fine now.

 

btw:

DINPUT8.dll is one file from a mod called "DSfix", a must-have fix to be able to enjoy playing this game.. the files were already replaced, but nothing changed.

 

 

I cannot find something like a plugin.txt or plugin.ini file... here's the directory:
