D3DOverrider won't open

[himynameiswill]

So basically I want to force triple buffering and D3DOverrider does that. I had it installed when I had Windows 7 and it worked fine. Today I try to open it and it just doesn't open. It is a process in the task manager, but it isn't in the tray and I can't use it.

After 3 reinstalls, I get the pop up "Cannot load D3DOverriderHooks.dll library". After googling it, I can't find one mention of this at all, so I have no idea how to fix it. I assume windows 10 has caused it, but even with the compatibility mode, it still wont work.

Any help?

It may be you're missing a file in D3DO and have to reinstall it. It would be uncommon if an AV tool would flag one of it's files and delete or quarantine, but it IS a dll file, so not out of realm of possibilities. Some of the other things that can cause such problems are, overzealous registry cleaning tools, malware, or drive errors. Even an interrupted install.

So how would I go about recovering it? I've reinstalled 4 times now but I still get that error.

Maybe try sourcing it from another site. The one you got may have been corrupted.

I have D3DOverriderHooks.dll showing in my D3DO directory, do you? Have you looked? Mine says 32.0 KB (32,768 bytes) for file size btw.

Nope, that's why I was confused. I downloaded it off Guru3D's site, as it was the only way I saw of getting it.

I've found 2 different sites that had it (both with the .dll) and neither work. I put the .dll in my original version which gave me the "can't find dll" error and now it doesn't give me the error and doesn't work. No idea what to do.

I just noticed you made a thread about this today at Guru3D, and the responses you got are likely correct. D3DO may not be compatible with W10. Whether it will be at some point is hard to say.

I suspected that may have been the case, but it takes testimonials from others on W10 to really know.

The 10 Forums are a pretty good place to get help with W10 related problems.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I believe RadeonPro can force TB on DirectX games and that works on Win 10, so I'll just use that.
