[Resolved] Social Club dependancy of "D3DCompiler_43.dll" & Crash 0xc000012f

[Sanxa]

Hello,

where do I have to put this "D3DCOMPILER_43.DLL" for Social Club ?
It says "Dependancy D3DCOMPILER_43.DLL is missing. Reinstall the game." each time.

So I :
1. checked the Steam forums, Rockstar help and Microsoft Help...
2. verified the integrity of the game - everything fine.
3.a. tried to find a way to reinstall directX, but it is windows 10 - I did not find any way to do so.
3.b. checked System32 and SysWOW64, they both have D3DCompiler_43.dll - is it a typo error from Social Club files that prevent it to recognize the file ?
4. Reinstalled VCredist (which has nothing to do with this error ?).
5. Reinstalled Social Club
6. Delete in AppData (Local) and Documents the Social Club files.

I am now thinking of making a big fire, dancing nude around it and sacrifice every living beings in 1m around the fire (I shall carefully measure the limits), because I am a gamer...

More seriously, any clues for a solution that I missed ?

Thank you.

Hello, all,

I found out the real issue of my problems, which was the file D3DCompiler_43.dll being wrong, in both GTA and SysWOW64 folders.

It also triggered a 0xc000012f crash at launch.
Thanks for the log in the "Documents" folder.

What I did (and found on the Internet) :

1. Get the "DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)" from Microsoft
(link : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109)
2. Extract the files in a folder on desktop (I named the folder DirectX)
3. Find the archive "Jun2010_D3DCompiler_43_x64.cab", and extract the dll file linked.
4. Place or Replace the D3DCompiler_43.dll in both :
- C:\Windows\SysWOW64
- in "Grand Theft Auto V" from the Steam Library (Right clic > Properties > Local Files tab > Browse local files)

5. Restart your computer, then enjoy.

Note : the file you have by default is 2057 Ko, while the one that from the .cab file does 2467 Ko.

Hope it will help you all !
