Many of our readers have reported getting P5dll.dll missing from your computer error while launching a game or app on their PC.

P5dll.dll is a Dynamic Link Library, also known as Interface to P5Device, developed by VRYAD Development Group.

You may encounter the P5dll.dll missing error when the DLL file is corrupted or accidentally deleted, the system files are damaged, or the affected app is missing some installation files.

How can I fix the P5dll.dll missing error?

Before you proceed with the advanced steps, check out these quick fixes:

  • Restart your PC to eliminate all technical glitches
  • Install all the pending Windows updates
  • Check the Recycle Bin to ensure the file is not accidentally deleted

1. Add or replace the DLL file from another device

When you get P5dll.dll not found or missing error, you should first check whether the DLL file is corrupted or missing.

If you can’t find the file, copy it from a healthy computer( with the same Windows iteration and architecture) to a USB drive, then connect the flash drive to the affected PC and move the DLL file to the dedicated path on it.

However, if it is present but corrupted, you need to replace it. Once you have done this, restart your PC to let the changes take effect. If you are not sure about the correct storage path of the DLL, you can check the Event Viewer to access error logs on Windows.
