Xidi need Visual Studio 2022 Runtime, and it doesn't work on Windows 11 for ARM

[mauricio-ricalde]

I was very happy downloading the new updates for SH2EE, but when I tried to run the game... it didn't work. It gave me some error about MVSCP140_ATOMIC_WAIT.dll. That sounded strange to me, since I had Visual Studio runtimes installed on my system. But I downloaded that specific dll and tried again. Then it gave me another error. Turns out, Xidi needs Visual Studio 2022 to run, but it doesn't seem to recognize the ARM build. Once I uninstalled Xidi, the rest of the packages ran just fine. So it seems like Xidi is a no go on ARM systems, and maybe on Wine (I was reading this other post: #725).

Thanks for testing and letting us know. We'll see what we can do for this.

Can you try with this Xidi update: dinput8.zip

I'm afraid it doesn't work, same error code.

I have this same issue on Windows 10 with an Intel CPU but I didn't know it was caused by Xidi.
It tells me the same error about the MVSCP140_ATOMIC_WAIT.dll being missing.
I download the missing .dll and when I try to run it again it tells me the same 0xc000... application error.

EDIT:
Just confirmed it. The problem is definitely Xidi.
As soon as I remove it, the game works as it should.

Can you try again with this updated module? I removed enhanced processor instructions and removed runtime requirements. Just unzip this into the Silent Hill 2 folder where the sh2pc.exe file exists.

Here is the update: dinput8.zip

Works perfectly with my Xbox Wireless Controller, no crashes or error messages. So, problem solved 🙂🙏

@brian0057
Could you also please test the build Elisha shared a few posts up?

[brian0057]

Now it runs without issues.

Ok, I updated it just to fix the version number. The new version is "4.1.1b".

Here is the final update ready to be released: dinput8_4.1.1b.zip
