So it's been pinpointed. Without the source code of that file thought I assume there will be no way to tell what the main actual issue is no?

New ones like stuff for enemy teleportation or sanity events....
Have you checked that Amn.?
This dll contains mostly new/modified functions to manipulate images.
I got no mod to test right now, you should try, I think it should work.

That's because DevIL.dll handles images in an application;

Since the Engine Scripts never call upon DevIL.dll to handle things, no, it shouldn't affect your scripting.

Great! Thanks for looking into and finding the exact cause. Using the old dll should not cause any troubles, only a warning in the HPL.log file. Of course all users of 1.3.1 will have the skybox incorrect anyway, but for development you can at least have it look correct.
Time table for an update remains unchanged unfortunately, will not be possible to get win, mac and linux update out until after SOMA is released.

To Jens;
First of all thanks for the response, second...
Can i send the older version of the DevIL.dll file, and make a small Tuturial of how to install and WHY...(unfortunatly RETAIL only!)
I guess that will be a better idea, then waiting until SOMA imo.
When SOMA is released even LESSER people will play Amnesia,due the fact of SOMA has Custom Story's aswell in it.

I'll post a link to the .dll on the wiki page I made.
Wiki page updated.
For those who just want the .dll, here it is in a .zip file, forever on my dropbox (because I usually use Mediafire).

Link this thread to that .DLL AND wiki (link) Rom!
I guess this Thread need to be on top of an importend main threadh.
For modders who have outside area's this is very importend.
As far as i know us and other users not from this forum... Outside is what is created mostly nowadays!
Thanks Rom, you are the best!
Rep for you !!!

Actually, it will work fine in Steam as well. Just, if a File Integrity Check or a forced update occurs, the user may need to re-replace the DevIL.dll file.
Done with the wiki page for now. Has some sexy, rushed, puushed images and fairly extensive information.
There is an installation readme included with DevIL zip (which credits Daemian for finding out it was the DevIL file causing issues) uploaded to the dropbox.
If you, as a user, want me to add more, or want to add yourself, go ahead! But for now, I need sleep (>._.)> z Z Z
RE: Any plans on fixing the skyboxes? - DnALANGE - 05-18-2015
Link....??
It actually DOES work!!!
CONFIRMED!!!
Use the older DevIL.dll \ zip above here!
Thumbs up AmN!!!
and
Thanks Rom!!!
