dll missing
Hi all,
I've just installed the latest release (october) of the engine.
I don't know if it could be related, but I have the following problem:
After compiling for DirectX 10+, I get a system error when I try to run the compiled application:
When compiling for DirectX9, there seems to be no problem.
I am running windows 7 SP1 64 bit and have visual studio community 2015 and DirectX 11 installed.
I thought there could be something wrong with the DirectX installation, however I am still able to run high-end games like shadow of mordor..
Any ideas, or anyone that had this issue before?

RE: D3Dcompiler_47.dll missing
Hi When I try this, the setup completes with mentioning that a newer or equivalent version of DirectX has been installed already and no installation is necessary.
I also just installed the redistributable version of directx ( http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/...px?id=8109 ) and restarted my PC, but the problem is still there...

That's weird.
I did a search for that file on my computer, and it turned up in several places.
You can extract this archive into your Windows Folder.
I copied the DLL's from my laptop.
(edit: please use DLL's from the link below)

RE: D3Dcompiler_47.dll missing
Thanks, but no luck :( The weird thing is that I also did a search and it also turned up several times. I guess there is something wrong with my DirectX installation.
I will upgrade to windows 10 tomorrow, that should certainly solve the issue..

I also sometimes had this problem when I opened my project in Visual studio (F8), and then I try to run from Esenthel Editor.
Closing visual studio + Esenthel and restarting Esenthel always solved it for me.

RE: dll missing
this occurs only in Debug mode, as Release will remove unused code references to shader compilation

RE: dll missing
Thanks! It works now. It is only now that I see I had "debug" mode selected instead of "release".
I notice that when I reinstall esenthel engine with the latest release, the flag in the settings is set to "debug" mode by default

RE: dll missing
Hi,
You can also try copying the DLL's from my link to Windows (it's a different link / DLL files than before). That should work too, as it helped in my case.

RE: dll missing
Hi, I tried it, the files indeed solved the issue for the debug mode in win7 , so both modes are working now. (didn't upgrade to Windows 10 yet since I ordered a SSD drive first)
