ffxiv benchmark problem

[xopher]

what's your vga card ?

Probably the same as his DVI card.

Having problems with running the benchmark on my laptop too (running Win7), and just downloaded that file you mentioned. There's a DXSETUP.exe file in the same folder you extracted all those .rars to, and I ran that DXSETUP.exe to install. Hasn't fixed my problem though

Alternatively (perhaps more pertinently for your situation), you can directly download d3dx9_41.dll and xinput1_3.dll from http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dl...shtml?d3dx9_41 and http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dl...html?xinput1_3 respectively, and extract the .dlls to C:\windows\system or C:\windows\system32 (check to see which folder has other .dlls already in it). My other PC (running Vista) had this "no .dlls" issue, and downloading those two .dlls and stuffing them into c:\windows\system fixed the problem.

I'm still getting the xinput1_3.dll error even after installing it in windows/system32 folder. Updated my video card driver. Directx is updated. Still same problem. Any other suggestions?

This problem is an interesting one. After successfully using two methods to fix it, I was almost convinced it was a Direct X issue. However, I haven't seemed to correct the issue a third time. Maybe this information will help:

Desktop #1: Approx 1 year old desktop. Quad core, 250gt nvidia GPU, ~4-6 GB ram.
(Don't know the specs because it's a friend's computer.)
OS: Windows 7
Direct X Version: 11
Problem: Would not run benchmark because of missing .dll.
Fix: Installed Direct X from web download.
Benchmark: ~1900

Laptop #1: Brand new Acer laptop. Top of the line. Would not run benchmark because of a .dll issue.
Direct X Version: 11
OS: Windows 7
Problem: Would not run benchmark because of .dll issue.
Fix: Same as above. Direct X install from web.
Benchmark: ~2600

Desktop #2: Roughly 3-4 year old. Single core CPU, 8800 GT Nividia GPU, 4GB ram.
Direct X Version: 11
OS: Windows 7
Problem: Would not run benchmark because of missing .dll.
Fix: Specifically downloaded as stated from Directx9c, if I remember correctly.
Benchmark: ~800

Laptop #2: Approx 1 year old. Dual Core, 4 GB ram.
Direct X Version: 11
OS: Windows Vista
Problem: Anticipated directx 9 issue so preemptively installed. No .dll error but crashes as soon as the program starts it's benchmark cycle.
Fix: None yet.
Benchmark: ???

For the first 3 successfull attempts, it seemed that you needed to have DX9 installed. Error message looked something like this: "Missing dx9cc_41.dll" But for some unknown reason, the fix is not working for Laptop 3. I assume there's a vista issue with it? Once I figure out what is going wrong, I'll update. In the mean time, those of you having the missing .dll issue, go ahead and try installing DX9, DX9c, DX10. Most of you should have version DX11.

Edit: Interesting. I decided to find a different dx9c download from download.cnet.com and the install would not take. However, the program started and did not spring missing .dll error. Instead, it went to benchmark cycle and then crashed. Hmmm. I hope I'm close.

Updated the Graphics drivers. No dice sadly.

okay my problem is similar to laptop #2, except my computer is an iMac partitioned off with bootcamp (windows 7 installed). I was getting the dll error before I installed directx now it crashes as it startes up the benchmark cycle. please keep updated. I'll let you know if I find a solution.

Does laptop 2 meet the graphic requirements? Usually when the benchmark starts you'll get an error and it will shut down if it doesn't meet those requirements.
