Failed to load the engine2 DLL

[Guidsmaster]

I cant launch DotA 2 any more. I keep getting Error: (0x0000007e) the specified module could not be found. (engine2.dll)
I verified game cache, it said there was a file missing, and proceeded to download it. once it was done, i launched dota 2 and the same error again.. anyone know how to fix or if i can just copy osmeone else's dll file?

OK I HAVE FOUND OUT HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM!!!

1) Open Steam
2) Make sure you are logged in on your account
3) Go to your Games tab near the top left next to f xcvfd"Friends"
4) Hit "View Game Library"
5) On the left Side there will be a game list of all the games you have
6) Find DOTA 2 and right click on it
7) When the drop down menu shows up, hit "properties"
8) When the menu shows up click the "local files" tab
9) When you click this tab 4 buttons will show up
10) Select "Verify Integrity Of Game Cache"
11) An update bar should show up now'
12) Wait until you finish the download/update
13) When you finish the download/update you can hit "close"
14) Finally launch DOTA 2

If this helped and you have some spare time, if you could leave a "+rep Helped Me On Forums" on my steam account page, i would very much appreciate it. <3

While I appreciate the intent to help, it's clear you didn't even read the text you quoted.. I'd really appreciate you at least take the time to read through the post before you start adding people to your friends list in the hopes of a favorable comment on your profile... smh

honeybun, you're obviously onto something with Webroot. I didn't get any notifications or see any activity, yet i just checked and the dll file was indeed being quarantined. Unfortunately I'm still downloading the game so I can't see if that worked.
I'm not sure what you mean when you mention the "Conduit", I haven't seen that word pop up anywhere

[Guidsmaster]

couldnt we just unquarantine engine2.dll and add an exception? personally thats what I did but I can't test it until i finish downloading dota 2 (again)

*edit: Success! Im back in dota 2 having unquarantined and made an exception in webroot
