No doubt at some point down the line I will come across a situation where this doesn’t solve the problem, but I will cross that bridge when I get to it. So I am left with my workaround, it works and now I know about it, it is quick to fix. The advice seems to be to uninstall this update, but I have also seen comments from people saying they can’t uninstall it, and not sure I want to risk uninstalling it so many months later. I came across a post that referenced this problem, and a November update (timing is about right) that caused it. After checking around for similar issues and not finding any solutions, I decide to try the d3d9.dll fix (can’t remember if I had already spotted the faulting module error or not) and lo and behold, GTAV launcher no longer crashes.Īfter a long and unfruitful support ticket with Rockstar who offered no help other than reinstall, reinstall again, reinstall with administrator, turn off your virus scanner blah blah despite being give very specific details about the problem (don’t you just hate stock responses) I did some more searching for the d3d9.dll problem. Install it, the launcher crashes at startup – bugger. I happened to try (cant remember why -probably was thinking along the lines of a permission issue) copying d3d9.dll into the application folder and lo and behold, the application now launches.įast forward several months, GTAV comes to PC finally. I searched for d3d9.dll on my disk to check what versions there were, comparing checksums, and the faulting one, was exactly the same checksum as the same version found under WinSxS which suggested to me that it was not a corruption issue. I tried re-installing direct-x but all I got was a message saying it is already installed. I tracked this down to an exception being thrown by d3d9.dll. I first experienced this with a program called Sourcetree after an update to Sourcetree it stopped loading. Some games/applications of mine started crashing at startup at some point after a windows update (as I run these games/apps infrequently its had to tell which particular update caused the issue).
