Dark Souls III does not launch

[Cren]

Dark Souls III does not launch. Tried everything I could or read on Internet but nothing works. Any tips?

Recently I have enabled Family share on my steam account, sharing tons of games along with DS3. Would it affect it or it does not correlate to that?

I would need some serious help !

Did you installed mods? or changed something in the registry?

Nothing, just wanted to beat it again after 1 year off time.

Try to delete the settings file in: AppData/Roaming/Dark Souls III It's called: GraphicsConfig.xml

Keep me posted I have a few minutes before I leave the desktop

Lol, just deleted dinput8.dll randomly from my folder, and it helped.

Uninstall all dll files "from mods" if you have mods installed. Reinstall the game

E:\Steam\steamapps\common\DARK SOULS III\Game here you can find dinput8.dll if you installed any mods, delete that file and you will be fine.

I didn't install any mod, and I don't know what to do.
I've read several people saying that not even reinstalling the game fixes the issue
So I might need to format
