How to run new 2.206 update on Windows 7

[UpdateOS]

If you use Windows 7, you've noticed that the new 2.206 update doesn't run anymore, it's missing XINPUT1_4.dll. Do not try to put the DLL file in there manually, it is not needed, all that you need to do is simply use VxKex on GeometryDash.exe and it'll just work.

or... update to a supported version of windows... keeping your software up to date is a great way to avoid some danger

you are only keeping yourself at risk by keeping your operating system on something that does not get ANY security updates, and hasn't for 4 YEARS

or, if you want to keep staying on windows 7, STOP USING THE INTERNET, welcome to LEARNING ANY CYBER SECURITY

if you had megahack v8 installed, it fails to open because, well megahack is trying to load before the game, but the game version is not the version it's built for, so it kinda just: dies

remove the files for megahackv8 and it should work perfectly fine on any supported operating system

I think I know why Geometry Dash crashing on Windows 7. Geometry Dash has switched from 32-bit to 64-bit.

Well, we Windows 7 users simply crack windows server 2008 updates, so we can get them monthly until Jan 2026. So yeah we are pretty fine with security for now

yes, you can do that

the answer isn't CAN, it's SHOULD

AND THE ANSWER WITH SHOULD IS NO
"oh i only download from confirmed good sources"

just waiting for when that source gets compromised once / "accidentally" puts malware into an update package that doesn't end up getting detected by your anti-virus

'if i had a nickel for every time a company has added malware to one of their update packages, be it intentional or not, i'd have... (wait how many nickels would he have.. at least 20?) nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened (X) times'

lets see the times that's hapened recently:

Windows Recall (wait that hasn't fully released ye-)
xz utils (for them linux users)
Sabrent
Github (no, i don't just mean malicious github repos, i mean ACTUAL FILES ON ANY REPO)
