D3D11CreateDevice was unable to find inputhost.dll

[Rexeos]

After installing Windows 10 I try to run Skyrim LE with Kountervibe Northernlight´from Mod Organizer.

 

 

First error was: CreateDXGIFactory2 ... d3d11.dll is missing - I have renamed dxgi.dll to d3d11.dll as this error was connected to SweetFX - at least that what I found on internet.

 

Now error is D3D11CreateDevice was unable to find inputhost.dll.

 

Copy pasting from system32 into skyrim doesnt help, I have downloaded 2 .dll files from internet one 203kb and second 89kb big, but nothing has changed.

 

 

How to solve that problem? I can not install Win 7 as mouse and keyboard do not react on Intel Z 390 chipset even If I connect old disk with preinstalled windows already.

 

Thx a ton

I had this problem just today while using ICBINE 4(by Elsopa). I renamed the d3d11.dll(in your Skyrim game folder with TESV.Exe) to inputhost.dll. It worked that way for me.

The real problem is mod authors not understanding that Skyrim Legendary Edition (a.k.a. Oldrim) is a DirectX 9 game and shouldn't include dxgi.dll at all, since that's for DirectX 10/11. Both Kountervibe Northern Light and ICBINE incorrectly include it.

 

The true solution is to delete dxgi.dll. Also delete d3d11.dll if you have that. It doesn't matter which ENB or post-processor it is, because Skyrim LE can't use it.

 

This usually happens because SweetFX contains two DLLs: d3d9.dll for DirectX 9 and dxgi.dll (or d3d11.dll) for DirectX 10/11. You only need one of these. When used with ENB, it's usually renamed to d3d9_SweetFX.dll.

 

Skyrim Special Edition is a DirectX 11 game though.

after renaming deleting and so on sweetfx doesn't load the preset at all

What's your setup - are you using ENB, SweetFX, or both?

 

The simplest case is just SweetFX. For Oldrim, you'll need d3d9.dll from SweetFX and a preset. If you're playing SSE, then you would use dxgi.dll instead.

 

If you're using ENB, then you would use d3d9.dll from ENBseries. For SSE, it would be d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46e.dll instead.

 

If you're using ENB and SweetFX together, then you would use d3d9.dll from ENBseries and rename the d3d9.dll from SweetFX to d3d9_SweetFX.dll. You would also need to edit enblocal.ini to use the renamed DLL:

[PROXY]
EnableProxyLibrary=true
InitProxyFunctions=true
ProxyLibrary=d3d9_SweetFX.dll

For SSE, I think you can just leave it as dxgi.dll. However, I don't know if ENB for SSE works well with SweetFX. I remember hearing that it was incompatible, and I don't know if that's been fixed or not. Apparently ENB and ReShade (as dxgi.dll) works though.
