[SOLVED] Be careful latest Windows 11 update kills EE2/AOS and other old games

Post by Coo1 »

Checked on "EE2/AOS" and "No Mans Sky" unable to start (see attached error message)
Reinstalled both EE2/AOS and the patch - not running. Tried to replace DLL file, still no success.
Did not try the compatibility mode yet.
Any thoughts?

It's not Windows 11 issue. The error clearly states it's Intel Graphics driver .dll file.

Reinstall the Intel Graphics driver for your GPU, or try the older version of that driver if it doesn't help.

Thank you very much Mona! Reinstalling graphics driver, then the game and the patch from scratch solved the problem!

It's almost never needed to reinstall the game and the patch. The game and the patch are just files in folder.

The issue was 100% graphics driver only.
