In most cases, the DLL file is incompatible with your system so always ensure that when downloading especially from third-party sites, that you check whether it is the 32-bit or 64-bit version.

Unfortunately, you’ll have to scan through your game files and locate themissing DLL file. Because this may be time consuming, we recommendusing a DLL-repair tool. They have the ability to scan and locate the problematic files and ensure the files are in sync.

2. Verify game files and clear cache run the game as admin

3. Re-register the DLL file and run the game as admin

4. Disable antivirus temporarily

An overzealous antivirus can quarantine the game installation files and interfere with the process. Temporarily disabling your antivirus will allow a seamless installation.

5. Scan for viruses
