Batman Telltale Series missing DINPUT8.dll

[sweetdaddyjones]

So, I'm a newcomer to all of this business and was trying to play the Batman Telltale series with wine. The installation process seemed to go off without a hitch, (I did get an error message at the very end of the install, but it seemed to install correctly.) However, when I go to run the game, I get the following message when starting from the command line:

Code: Select all

bendover@bendover-G51 ~/.wine/drive_c/GOG Games/Batman - The Telltale Series $ wine Batman.exe
err:module:import_dll Library DINPUT8.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\GOG Games\\Batman - The Telltale Series\\Batman.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\GOG Games\\Batman - The Telltale Series\\Batman.exe" failed, status c0000135

However, I believe the DLL in question IS installed:

Code: Select all

bendover@bendover-G51 ~/.wine/drive_c $ find -name dinput8.dll
./windows/system32/dinput8.dll
./windows/syswow64/dinput8.dll

What's going on here, and how can I fix it? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you very much.

First off I'd recommend testing your game in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX...
See WineHQ FAQ: 6.5.3 How do I create a 32 bit wineprefix on a 64 bit system?

As the game is a DirectX 11 only title I'd recommend testing with the latest Wine Development or Wine Staging release - currently version 2.20.

You could also try:

Code: Select all

winetricks -q dinput8

to install the native Windows dinput8.dll in your 32-bit WINEPREFIX.

You can run the SFC command to check misssing dll files. How to use it you can find here or on Microsft site. SFC works by scanning for and replacing system files that are corrupt, missing, or changed. Even if the SFC command doesn’t repair any files, running it will at least confirm that no system files are corrupted and then you can continue to troubleshoot your system with other methods. Alternative way how to solve this problem is to download libhttpd.dll from some dll sites. For example from here. I recommend use this method as the latest solution if anything else did not help. Good luck!

Thanks for the help, Bob and Almonter! Bob following your advice, I tried installing in a clean 32bit prefix, but that didn't solve the problem--if anything, I think it said it was a 64 bit executable and not supported in a 32 bit prefix...Right before the installation completed, wine popped up an error message about being 'out of stack' or maybe stack out of range...I wish I could remember exactly, I'll try to reproduce it if you think that's mission critical...but after clicking ok, the installer program itself claimed to have installed correctly... Here is the terminal output from running the installation:

When trying to launch the 'successfully' installed program, I get the same error:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=~/.new32prefix wine "/home/bendover/.new32prefix/drive_c/GOG Games/Batman - The Telltale Series/Batman_win7.exe"

Following your other suggestion, I tried doing the winetricks installation of dinput8, but it's already installed:

Code: Select all

bendover@bendover-G51 ~/.wine/drive_c/GOG Games/Batman - The Telltale Series $ winetricks -q dinput8
------------------------------------------------------
You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX. If you encounter problems, please retest in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before reporting a bug.

Any advice? Where do I go from here?

You'd certainly need good luck if you followed this suggestion when using Wine i.e. not native Windows...
What have you been smoking??!!

Yeah, for the heck of it I tried opening the wine command prompt and giving it a shot. But, clearly, this was to no avail lol. <_<
>_>

I ended up just resorting to native windows, as I was unable to get the wine situation squared away. Alas.

[Almonter]

Oops. Sorry. It's my mistake. I need to sleep more Nevertheless you can still try to use the second option from my answer. As I mentioned above use this method as the latest solution.
