Crash on startup: "Unable to load DLL 'EOSSDK-Shipping.dll"

Afonso shared this bug ago

Solved

Hey,

I just reformatted my computer and installed windows 11. When I now start Space Engineers It crashes on startup.

This seems to be the relevant line in the logs:

Exception occurred: System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'EOSSDK-Shipping.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

I've tried a bunch of solutions from both the forums here and on the steam forums:

* Verifying game cache

* Reinstalling the game

* Deleting ShaderCache2

* Deleting %AppData%\Roaming\SpaceEngineers

* Reinstalling VCRedist 2015-2022 and 2013

Nothing seems to work.

After some fiddling with this it turns out that I have Windows 11 Pro N. And installing the "Media Feature Pack" seems to have fixed the issue for me!
