This is a quick guide on how to use Blue Acolyte's dll chain loading option. You can use this if you want to play using other mods that also need to be called dinput8.dll to work.

Simply download the other mod, rename it (e.g. OtherMod.dll) from dinput8.dll and put it into your DarkSoulsII/Game directory, then change the "ChainLoadPath" ini option in BlueAcolytePref.ini to the name of the dll.



Save the file, then restart Dark Souls II for the changes to take effect. It should load as expected, it will tell you in the BlueAcolyteLog text file if there were any problems.

Please note that I can't verify other mods on their legitimacy or ban risk. Use any other mods at your own risk.

Hope this helps, let me know if there are any issues.

    Is it possible to chainload more than one additional dinput8.dll file? Like
    ChainLoadPath = otherMod1.dll, otherMod2.dll

      Evidently it works exactly like your example! I just tested it with QOL and DS2Fix64 and it ran without any issues. Granted, all I did to test if it worked was launch a new game a run around a bit to see if it would crash.
