EDIT - My solution: I can't start my game - Dependency Walker : list of the missing .dll ?

[La Rose Noire]

Hello everyone,

I heard about a software, "Dependency Walker", which allows to identify missing dll files, so I installed it.

When I execute "ShooterGame.exe" the soft give me a list of some missing .dll (I have Win 7 64 bits) :
APEXFRAMEWORKPROFILE_X64.DLL (not found)
API-MS-WIN-CORE-COM-L1-1-0.DLL (not found)
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-ERROR-L1-1-0.DLL (not found)
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-L1-1-0.DLL (not found)
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-ROBUFFER-L1-1-0.DLL (not found)
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-STRING-L1-1-0.DLL (not found)
API-MS-WIN-SHCORE-SCALING-L1-1-0.DLL (not found)
DCOMP.DLL (not found)
IESHIMS.DLL (not found)
LIBVORBISFILE_64.DLL (not found)
PHYSX3COMMONPROFILE_X64.DLL (not found)
PHYSX3COOKINGPROFILE_X64.DLL (not found)
PHYSX3PROFILE_X64.DLL (not found)
STEAM_API64.DLL (not found)
X3DAUDIO1_7.DLL (x86)

So my question is : Should I download one by one all this missing files ? And where should I install them ? "system32" ? ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64 ?

Thank you for your answers.

EDIT: (Sorry for my english, I'm a baguette :p)

MY GAME IS STARTING. How do I proceed ? I installed .dll one by one in my folder C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/SteamApps/ARK/ShooterGame/Binaries/Win64.

When I launch my software "Dependency Walker", I open "ShooterGame.exe" and I see the .dll not found. So, I installed .dll from http://fr.dll-files.com/ (change language to english).

So, I have downloaded a few .dll files and I open again "ShooterGame.exe" in "DependencyWalker". New .dll files are appeared (and and others have disappeared) and I downloaded this files too.

Some .dll files are for Win7 and Win8. I run my game a few times, between adding files, to see if it worked and it is a success.

For this method, you must be patient :)
I hope I help you :)

Nobody ? :(

I don't have this game [yet], so obviously I haven't run into your issue. But it looks like the VC++ install might've failed somehow. You know that thing that launches the first time you run almost every game you get from Steam? Try to get that running again.

I reinstalled again and again Visual C ++ without any success. I also installed the older versions, without success. I also reinstall my game 3 times. My game don't start.

This software is the only one to show me any possible errors.

an interesting one for sure, here is why:

1. the API-MS-WIN* stuff is only required for windows8 and is indeed present there, the application was compiled with a windows8 sdk and thats why they are listed, they have no impact on win7
2. ieshims and dcomp is listed in almost every app, i would ignore that
3. the rest, with the exception of X3DAUDIO1_7.DLL should be loaded from ARK\Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty

doing what you are doing might work for you but im pretty positive that it will cause issues on the long run depending on what dlls the game does load first

Thank you for your advice and informations, I appreciate. But I prefer to keep these files at the moment and when the game will be fixed, I reinstall it properly .

I am also having this same problem using windows 7 64. I had been trying multiple solutions for days without success (checking files with steam, uninstalling/reinstalling directx, visual c++, and even tried uninstalling/reinstalling windows service pack without success. I was about to give up until I heard about Dependency Walker on 1 of the sites and decided to give it a shot only to find it had errors with.
APEXFRAMEWORKPROFILE_X64.DLL
API-MS-WIN-CORE-COM-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-ERROR-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-ROBUFFER-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-STRING-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-SHCORE-SCALING-L1-1-0.DLL
DCOMP.DLL
LIBVORBISFILE_64.DLL
PHYSX3COMMONPROFILE_X64.DLL
PHYSX3COOKINGPROFILE_X64.DLL
PHYSX3PROFILE_X64.DLL
STEAM_API64.DLL

After searching for APEXFRAMEWORKPROFILE_X64.DLL I find this thread and see I am not the only 1 having this problem with ark.

I have had steam check game files to make sure it installed properly (on of the first things I tried) and it came back clean.

I hope the game designers fix whatever is causing these files to not get installed with the game files and I hope I can find someone who will share there files with me so I can get this working.

formatted pc and is working now.
