The Microsoft operating system is based on dynamic link libraries, which consist of individual DLLs. If one of these files becomes outdated or is missing, the game that needs it to function will refuse to launch.
What is this file?
GFSDK_ShadowLib.win64.dll is a separate component of a dynamic link library, which, in particular, is used for the correct launch and correct operation of GTA 5. Accordingly, to solve the problem, we must either work with a licensed copy of the software or manually install the DLL.
How to Install
Now let’s look at a specific example that will clearly show how to install and register a DLL:
- We go to the download section, download the archive, unpack it and place the desired file in one of the system directories.
For Windows 32 Bit: C:\Windows\System32
For Windows 64 Bit: C:\Windows\SysWOW64
- Launch the Windows Search tool, find the command line, right-click, and then select the option to run the application with administrator rights. Go to the directory that you used to copy the file. The operator is suitable for this
cd. Next comes the registration process itself. Enterregsvr32 GFSDK_ShadowLib.win64.dlland press "Enter".
- The final stage involves restarting the operating system.
If you don’t know how to correctly determine the architecture of the installed OS, just press “Win” and “Pause” at the same time.
Download
After you have read the instructions for installing the DLL, you can proceed directly to practice and fix the error.
