d3dcopiler_43.dll error 0x000000c1

[Ataraxey]

I've been getting this error randomly when using Safari for about a month now, but now it's coming up when attempting to run BF3 or Dead Island. Other games all seem to work fine, but these ones do not.

I attached a picture of the exact error when running BF3 i got when running a log file.

What can i do to fix my d3d file? I've already installed a new version of direct X that seemed like the newest one, but it doesnt seem to have done anything.

It's only logical to do the same thing with the other dll extension as well, but it seems like the directx is corrupt all over, have you tried installing directx off the disc.

I already copied over that other DLL file from the newest redistrib, from here (Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - DirectX Redist (June 2010))

It didnt solve the problem at all =/

Any other way to solve this?

Also, the game dead island and BF3 are both off of the internet so they dont have disks to install from.

Also - i'm confused

Previously i put the new DLL's into the c/windows/win32 folder, but in that you say to put it into the actual games folder?

Ignore that nonsense.
Just update your DirectX components using the official Microsoft Directx update
Nevermind copying anything manually, install it using the link i provided.

 

[Ataraxey]

I already tried that, whenever i do it says it cant update because im already on a newer version

 

[Shark007]

Did you try with the link I provided?
The link you had posted to was for the redistributables.

 

[Ataraxey]

yes, when i attempt to update it says it cant because im on a newer version
