D3dcompiler_43.dll is missing from your computer

Troubleshooting Common Errors with Dynasty Warriors 9 and Other Games

=====================================================================================

Dynasty Warriors 9, like many other games, may encounter issues due to missing or corrupted DLL files. Two specific errors that users commonly face are:

1. 'The program cant start because D3DCompiler43.dll is missing from your computer.'

2. 'The program cant start because XAPOFX16.dll is missing from your computer.'

These errors typically occur when a required dynamic-link library (DLL) file, in this case, `d3dcompiler_43.dll` or `XAPOFX16.dll`, cannot be found by the game's executable.

To resolve these issues, try following these steps:

### Step 1: Reinstalling Dynasty Warriors 9

Sometimes, simply reinstalling the affected game can resolve missing DLL errors. To do so:

1. Go to your computer's 'Control Panel' or use the Start menu in Windows 8/10.

2. Navigate to 'Programs and Features' (in Windows Vista/7) or 'Apps & features' (Windows 8/10).

3. Find Dynasty Warriors 9 under the installed programs list, right-click on it, then select 'Uninstall.'

4. Follow any prompts to confirm uninstallation.

After complete removal:

1. Go back to your computer's 'Control Panel' again.

2. Navigate to 'Programs and Features' (in Windows Vista/7) or 'Apps & features' once more.

3. Click on the 'Browse' button next to the topmost entry, then select a different location than where you previously installed Dynasty Warriors 9.

### Step 2: Manually Installing Missing DLL Files

If simply reinstalling does not resolve the issue, you may need to manually install missing or corrupted DLL files:

1. Download and extract 'this ZIP archive'(https://www.dll-8.com/dllfix.zip) containing necessary DirectX redistributable packages.

2. Extract all contents from the downloaded zip file into a new folder on your computer's desktop.

1. Double-click 'DirectX_DNov2010_redist.exe' to start installation.

2. Follow any prompts in the upcoming setup wizard until it finishes installing completely.

3. Once finished, restart your PC for changes to take effect.

### Step 3: Using a DLL Fixer Tool

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may want to consider using a third-party tool specifically designed to fix missing or corrupted system files:

1. Download and install 'this free version'(https://www.dll-fix.com/) of Auslogics' Registry Cleaner.

2. Launch the application after installation is complete.

1. Click 'Scan' under the 'Registry Cleaning' section on the left-hand side panel in the main window to begin a full scan for any registry issues or errors related to missing DLL files.

After scanning is finished, you will be presented with several options regarding which items to fix:

* Check all boxes next to entries marked as 'Fix,' then click 'Repair All' at the bottom-right corner of this dialog box.

2. Restart your computer once again for any changes made by the tool to take effect.

If these steps still do not resolve the issue, you may want to consider seeking further assistance from an IT professional or game support service who can provide more targeted guidance specific to your situation.

Remember that it is always a good practice when dealing with system files and registry modifications to create regular backups before attempting any fixes.
