Dx8vb.dll Fix

[Mr.LLoyd]

If you get a dx8vb.dll error from trying to run the DX8 eclipse client or anything else you can fix it by downloading the dx8vb.dll fixer from here: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?dx8vb The program is free, install it.The program will fix the error for you.Then you can uninstall the program if you wish and thats all.

Or you could just get the .dll and throw it into the DIR of the where the game is.

I feel that your way seems safer…no installation :3

I tried that it didn't work for me.

Put it into the DIR, right click the DIR and click refresh a couple times and it works fine.

It doesn't for me.

For the record, what error DOES it fix?

[Mr.LLoyd]

The dx8vb.dll you get when you open a DX8 engine like CS:DE or JC's one

[Ecto]

Then register it via CMD and throw it in the DIR and it should work. It's to risky running .exe's

[Mr.LLoyd]

Why is it risky? And like i sayd it didn't work i tryid everything this is the only thing that world for me.

You just have to register it in System32 or SysWOW64 (depending on your OS' architecture) using any method you want and leave it there. Doesn't have to be in the game's directory.

Ecto was right. The night EN 3.0 came out I was aout to smash my computer cause I kept getting this error, and I had the dv8vb.dl in the same directory as the .exe. It turns out I had to manually register the dll via comand promt in windows 7

[Mr.LLoyd]

I don't know i tried what Ecto sayd what Sekaru sayd too but nothing only this helped me.

[Guest]

Every issue is different, with its own solution :3

[Zzbrandon]

Just Register it.

[Mr.LLoyd]

I did.

Alright here's the simple way to register anything and it will work most of the time (might depend on your permissions though):

Place the DLL/OCX in your C:/Windows/System32 (or SysWOW64 for 64 bit users - if all else fails use System32).

Open up CMD and type:

cd C:/Windows/System32 (or SysWOW64)

Hit enter and then type:

regsvr32 nameofdllorocx.extension (change that to whatever the extension is for example dll or ocx)

That should work. It has nothing to do with it being in your game's directory but you do have to direct regsvr32 to the proper path.

^ This.

Restarting your PC after you do that doesn't hurt either.
