Thread: Age of Conan & Windows 8.1

  1. #1

    Default Age of Conan & Windows 8.1

    After updating Windows to 8.1 a day ago I can no longer play Age of Conan. Immediately after launching the patcher I get this error.

    Code:
    Age of Conan Update Manager: ConanPatcher.exe - Entry Point Not Found
    
    The procedure entry point CreateDXGIFactory2 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\d3d11.dll.
    If I try to start the game from the patcher after that, the same error pops up again and AoC terminates immediately.

    Is anyone running AoC on 8.1?

    I've tried reinstalling GPU drivers and DirectX, but there is no way to update or repair the DX11 files outsite of dxdiag and sfc /scannow.

    I've got the same problem. I got around it by disableing sweetFX and using the dx9 launcher instead of the dx10 launcher. I still get the error msg, but the game starts anyway.

    Thanks. Fully removing SweetFX did the trick

    New to Windows 8.1

    My tower updated just fine but my notebook gives an direct x error.

    Is this the most up to date thread on the issue and how would I find Sweet FX to uninstall?

    a Suggestion would be to update the latest Directx version

    Sometimes you might need it with some games to make it work.
    I myself run Age of Conan Windows 8.1 without SweetFX tho.
    But updating DirectX might make SweetFX work again.

    MS will be pushing the DX12 stuff hard soon, but it's a bit odd that they'd break their existing DX right now. Nothing about this in W7-land?

    My AoC runs much better on Windowed mode rather than full screen mode.....alt tabbing is instant too ! I would recommend trying on Windows 8.1 solved a lot of my issues anyway. not saying it will solve yours but may be worth a try for some people.
