[SOLVED] CreateDXGIFactory2 Problem After Update to Windows 8.1

[Im James]

I HAVE SOLVED THIS PROBLEM - Removed Sweetfx

My problem went like this:
I had not had any problems whatsoever with my ARMA 3 or Assasins creed 3 until updating from Windows 7 to 8.1. When I launch the game, I get no message other than failure to launch. Trying from the root folder however I get this error: Entry Point Not Found: "The procedure entry point CreateDXGIFactory2 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\d3d11.dll."

I tried to re-run the dxsetup that came with the game but the problem didn't solve.

Not until I removed *Sweetfx did the game run.

for me it was the NVIDIA Update which caused that problem... I went back to Driver Version 355.60 and now everything works without errors again.

and how did you manage to do this? when i try the driver installer refuses saying it wont work on 10.

there is a special version of the driver for windows 10... maybe you got the wrong one?

Guys, DELETE GEFORCE EXPERIENCE!!!! Then you won't have to uninstall ENB/SweetFX, whatnot. Worked for me :) Game starts right up.

SOLVED. Just delete sweetfx. Lol. NICE SOLVED MAN!
I need a sweetfx!

[Im James]

Think you just need to reinstall it. I might've had the wrong version after an update / whatever, this was like 1.5years ago.

Delete: dxgi.dll (or rename to dxgi.dll.bak)
Delete: dxgi.fx (or rename to dxgi.fx.bak)

PROBLEM? ACTUALLY SOLVED!

No, not actually solved, just doesn't post the error, game doesn't load.
Star Wars The Old Republic just CTD's after blank screen load failure.
Nice try though, going to try the original fix.
Delete the files, fix to play, not to enjoy.

I'm having this error with Skyrim, but I'm not using SweetFX. I'm using several ENB type mods, but I've been using them for a while - with no bugs whatsoever. I'm pretty sure this happened due to NVidia drivers update or a windows update... Any help would be appreciated.

@Pyro_The_Maniac
many enbs us sweetfx, check the actual files to see if the enb preset you're using has sweetfx. This error was solved for me when I removed project enb.

Try copying dxgi.dll from win/system32 folder to the same folder as your "game.exe`"

You Sir are a star. I have been having problems with BL2 today, nothing has changed since yesterday except BL2 decided to have a DX issue (got to love windows 10). Deleted those two files and now works like a charm.

Have a great weekend.
