3dmgame.dll is a dynamic library that is an integral part of Microsoft Visual C ++. It is used by many modern games and programs: PES 2016, GTA 5, Far Cry 4, Sims 4, Arma 3, Battlefield 4, Watch Dogs, Dragon Age: Inquisition and others. All these applications will not be able to start and the system will give an error if there is no 3dmgame.dll on the computer. Such a situation may be formed because of the failure in the OS or actions of antivirus software.
Method 1: Loading 3DMGame.dll
Faster to solve the problem that has arisen when you start any game - download the file itself that requires Windows and add it to the system.As a rule, the downloaded library must be moved to the root folder with the game, that is, where its EXE-file is located, designed to start. Less frequently, DLL is added to one of the internal folders of the "bin" type - it all depends on the application itself.
Method 2: Installing Microsoft Visual C ++
Microsoft Visual C ++ is a popular Windows development environment. It depends on the performance of many Windows applications, and therefore it may require its installation to restore the performance of the program.

- The installation process is underway.
- Next, click on the "Restart" or "Close" button to restart the PC immediately or later, respectively.
All is ready.
Method 3: Adding 3DMGame.dll to exclude antivirus

Therefore, you can add 3DMGame.dll in its exception, but only in case of confidence that the file does not represent danger to the computer. Please note that this is not uncommon, and even in the absence of an antivirus installed on your own, transfer the file to quarantine and the defender built into Windows.Read more: How to add an antivirus program
Method 4: Checking the integrity of the game files
Some gaming clients through which certain games were purchased, provide the ability to check the integrity of the files of the already installed copies. Thanks to such a function, all damaged or missing components can be carried out, thereby returning the game without the need to reinstall it. For example, it can be done in Origin or Steam, and then on their examples we will show how it can be done.

Method 5: Reinstalling the game with disabled antivirus
Sometimes the file turns out to be blocked by antivirus yet at the installation stage of the game, because of which it will be simply absent in the system until the user execute reinstalling the entire application. However, before this, it is necessary to disable antivirus software for a while, and then after installing the game, it is desirable to add a folder with a 3DMGame.dll file to exceptions (see Method 2).
