Game won't start - X3DAudio1_7.dll is missing??

[ThunderPeel2001]

I get the game launcher, and can alter the game settings, but when I click "PLAY" I get the following error message:

GSGameExe.exe - System Error
The program can't start because X3DAudio1_7.dll is missing from your computer.

Pretty annoying!

Windows 8 x64

Go download and install it, that should help. I personally always use the zip file, but the fixer should work too.

in the direction given in the error report. If this does not help, write me a massage, I had a similar problem with Skyrim, and it was quite difficult to solve.

The Microsoft download gives me an error log saying that everything is "already installed." And there is no "x3daudio1_7.dll" even listed in the error log of already installed files. There are x3audio1 files, just not "_7" ones.

I hate it when when video games give so much grief just to run.

[King Nerevar]

I had it on Skyrim, so....
Download all the x3daudio1 files manually and c&p it in: C:\Windows\System32

thx King Nerevar! That's what worked for me: used the dll link listed by DariusRaider above: http://www.dll-files.com/. Searched for x3daudio1_7.dll. Then used the Manual option, downloaded, unzipped, the copied the .dll file to my Windows\System32 (and for good measure put it in the \Windows directory too). Restarted. Finally the program booted.

[King Nerevar]

no problem. Nice to hear that it is now working
