missing dll: [dinput8.dll] error 0xc1

BUMP

Seriously am I the only one getting this??? I uninstalled and reinstalled and I still get it... HELP!!

I will continue to bump until I get some kind of answer!

I also have this problem, did you solve it? I have reinstalled the game multiple times, reinstalled DirectX etc. I think it's a licensing issue. Not sure how to activate though, I got to a screen and it asked me to sign into my EA account once but my internet was down at the time. I tried again later but found no way to getting to that screen. Help?

You are missing or having a corrupted important file that is usually part of the Direct X End User Runtime, dinput8.dll

At first, download and install the latest version of the Direct X End User Runtime again, then restart your computer and try again: http://www.microsoft.com/en-IE/download/details.aspx?id=35

Should the error message still show up after a restart of your computer, open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\System32. Take a look for a file called dinput8.dll and if present, open an elevated command prompt and type in (confirm both lines with Enter):

regsvr32 /u dinput8.dll
regsvr32 dinput8.dll

This should register the dinput8.dll file in your Windows system, if there was no error, restart your computer and try again.

I found a video on Youtube that helped me to solve the same problem.

- Open Origin and go to "My games"

- right click on the game icon and choose "game properties"

- in the command line parameters add "-novid -noborder -windowed" (without quotes) and check "Disable Origin in the game..."

This solved my "Invalid license" error

I have upgraded to Windows 10 from 7 and now one of 3 games that I own in Origin is not working. 

"Invalid license. Reason code = Missing DLL: [MSVCP110.dll] Error: 0x7E

I have tried the other trouble shooting steps in this thread and my game still won't work, is anyone else having this issue?

The game is PVZ Garden Warfare
