I have been trying to start Fallout 3. But, whenever I try to open the game, it shows an error message. The error message shows "error xinput1_3 dll is missing or not found". I don't know what exactly the problem is. Can you help me to solve this issue?
I think this error is caused due to an Microsoft DirectX error. DirectX is mostly used by Windows based games and advanced graphics programs. To solve this error, you can follow the steps given below.
I hope this solves your problem.
Even I had face similar problem. I reinstalled the game and then it was working fine. The above post is also correct as the issue seems to be with DirectX. So all you need to do is to remove the game and then update the Direct X version. After it is done you then need to install the game to your system. Check out I am sure it will work for you then.
You guys have shared quite detailed description for solving my problem. I did try to follow all the solutions you have mentioned above and uninstalling the Fallout 3 game and then reinstalling it again on my system has worked wonders for me. I don't know how but this has certainly solved the error I was getting.
I had a similar issue but it was fixed with the help of the procedure below:
1. Download the xinput1_3.dll Fixer
2. Double Click the dffsetup-xinput1_3.exe
3. Hold on till the file is installed.
4. When the installation is finished Fixer will be launched automatically it will take about a minute or two.
5. You will get warnings from your antivirus application if installed on your system.
6. Now fixer will try to connect to the internet in order to download the correct xinput1_3.dll file.
7. Finally install it within the Windows System Folder and then change the Windows Registry. Allow to fixer to make required changes or else the problem will not be fixed.
This file might contain virus so be careful while following the procedures
Well in my case i fixed it a bit differently after trying a number of tricks i was not able to get this issue fixed. Even the solution or fix suggested above by hatrix didn't help me i downloaded the above file and installed it it took about two minutes but was not able to fix this issue. Finally i thought to reinstall the application and it did the trick for me. I uninstalled the Borderlands 2 and then reinstalled the same and the problem was fixed. Hope that this will fix your problem too. Only i have to look for the BorderLands 2 Save Game File or will have to play the game once again.
Good solutions you have provided here. I was also playing a game and it started showing this directX error. So, when I saw the solutions, I first tried reinstalling the game and it didn't work and then I tried updating the DirectX to the latest version and it worked. Thanks a lot.
