Report: Resolving the "xinput1_3.dll Missing" Error in PES 2016
Date: April 25, 2026
Software Affected: Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 (PES 2016)
Error Type: Missing Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file
Affected OS: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11
Are you using a specific controller (like PS4, PS5, or Xbox) with the game, or is it failing to launch entirely? How do you fix missing dll files on Windows 11?
Fix: Inside that folder, find a file named DXSETUP.exe and run it to install the required components. 3. Manually Replace the DLL (Last Resort)
Method 2: Install DirectX via the PES 2016 Redist Folder (Offline Method)
Konami included a copy of the required DirectX installer on the original game disc and digital download. If you are offline or the web installer fails, use this method.
