DLL Missing Exception in Unity 5
Closed this issue · 5 comments
In Windows, XboxCtrlrInput is relying off XInput.NET to handle controller input for Windows.
But when upgrading to Unity 5, the following exception pops up:
DllNotFoundException: XInputInterface
This error is due to an incompatiblity between Unity 5 and XInputInterface.dll, which is a library provided by XInput.NET.
Until XInput.NET becomes Unity 5 compatiable, this problem cannot be fixed.
As is, everything should still be working in Unity 4. If not, please submit a new issue.
Seems to work now with the latest package, from march. 👍 
Just clarifying the comment from xoorath, the latest package from XInputDotNet works in Unity, just download the 32 or 64 bit version from https://github.com/speps/XInputDotNet/releases.
Thanks xoorath and FredZvt. I'll try to get XboxCtrlrInput working with the latest release of XInputDotNet, hopefully soon.
Okay, commit 99a6a1b should fix the issue. If it doesn't, feel free to open a new issue (or comment here; I'll reopen the issue).
However, with this fix, XboxCtrlrInput is no longer compatible with Unity 4.x or earlier. Only Unity 5 will work for sure. It only implies that I never tested the new code with Unity 4.x (so it might work, but I won't guarantee it).
For anyone upgrading, make sure to get rid of the old DLL. It won't cause problems in the editor but since the dll directories moved in unity 5 it will try to put them both in the same spot for standalone builds and there will be a conflict.
