RE: Can't launch game anymore - Vasco - 09-11-2013
Guys, I bought the game in Steam, downloaded it and played yesterday. But today the game does not run! It just waits for 3-4 seconds, then synchronizes with Steam - and nothing more. When I try to run the settings launcher, nothing happens at all. That's weird.
Tried to launch aamfp.exe, but this dis not help, and error occured - "Impossible to start the program... XINPUT1_3.dll is not designed to run on Windows or has an error".
Tried to install DirectX again, but Windows says that I already have the latest version of DirectX.
I'm crying tears. I waited for the evening with the piggies so much.

I have exactly the same error as you !

Are working on fixing it right now!
You should be able to work around the error for now by removing the xinput file in the game folder (found by right-clicking on the game in steam, properties, last tab and browse local files option).

This solution doesn't work for me ...
Any ETA for the next patch fixing it?

can also try and remove the msvcr100 and msvcp100 dll files and see if that helps while waiting.

Have you guys tried to do what I put in the 3rd edit of my previous message?
Quote: I replaced the files xinput1_3.dll, msvcp100.dll and msvcr100.dll of the SteamApps/common/MachineforPigs with the ones of the exact same name from Windows/system32 folder.

We finished testing, so the update should hopefully come out during the night (our time) as we are off to get some sleep. If you have the problem you can do the above solution or get the test exe from here http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-23014.html
