D3DCOMPILER_46.dll, how to fix?

[Rexanor]

Alright, for some reason I've been getting this error recently. I've attempted to ree-install the game, reset my pc. I've updated my drivers and tried re-installing DirectX from the Microsoft site, but nothing has working and I'm losing my mind.

The installer from the MS site will generally run without doing anything but the one in the Steam runtimes folder should work.

On my system it's in

(Steam Install Folder)\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010

Run DXSetup.exe from there. (This is probably just DirectX9, but it's worth a shot)

Maybe it helps:

1. Download 3Dmigoto[github.com] from here (it´s from the official Frontier forum).
   -> https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/some-performance-tweaks-fixes.583739/
   
   
2. Open the zip file and go into x64 -> There you can find the dll file.
   
   
3. Go to your windows folder on your main drive.
   
   
4. Open system32 and make a backup from the current file D3DCOMPILER_46.dll file (if it´s there).
   
   
5. Now copy/overwrite your file from the zip into this folder.

Last but not least, contact Frontier support [customersupport.frontier.co.uk] .


Edit: Missing symbols and text formatting doesn´t work ... hate it.

I highly recommend to try installing the official DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) first.

It should contain the file and install it properly.

This should be the same files.

Try the official runtimes first before you use third party tools to fix this.
