[Fix] Poker Night 2 Won’t Start

1 Comment / By / / 1 minute of reading

I just installed Poker Night 2 and it won’t load. After some digging around I came up with this solution!

  1. Download DINPUT8.DLL
  2. Extract it
  3. Move it to your game directory. (C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonPoker Night 2) Your might be a little different.
