dxgi.dll crash

[kumasan]

If I start Dolphin on d3d 11 mode, it instantly crashes.
dxgi.dll seems to be the problem.
I have a geforce gtx 970 fully updated.

Is your windows up to date?

[kumasan]

This might be the problem. Can I just add the updated dll? That would be faster to do. I'm checking if Rogue Leader runs better on d3d 11 mode.

EDIT my dxgi.dll version is
6.1.7601.17514

[ExtremeDude2]

Adding in .dll's on your own is not a good idea. Is there a reason you can't update windows?

[Helios]

Do not download isolated DLLs. You will at best cause inexplicable bugs in Dolphin, break windows update, or at worst, download malware.

Update your OS.

I updated windows and it's ok now!
Thanks!

I'm experiencing the same issue. Crashing on start of any game due to the same DLL with the same version number of that DLL Kuma mnetioned.
I do not experience this issue in dolphin version 3183, but do experience it in several of the more recent versions (up to 5310, latest as of this post.)

I'm using Windows 7 x64, but according to windows update I have no updates I can do right now. It's still not working. Other specs for my system are on my profile.
At a bit of a loss for how to fix, but fortunately I have a version I can go back to as needed.

Edit~
Downloaded builds a few hundred apart until I narrowed down the latest functioning build for me. 4647 works, 4657 crashes.

You might want to try installing the relevant update manually: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2670838/platform-update-for-windows-7-sp1-and-windows-server-2008-r2-sp1

Ah it worked! Build 5310 now functions for me - or, at least, doesn't crash on start. Hopefully I run into no other glaring issues!

Thank you very much for that link, Juice. As someone with a gamecube but no display device it can connect to, I'm quite grateful to have Dolphin.
