Error: entry point_AIL_set_3D_sample_offset@8 could not be located in dynamic link library mss32.dll

Hi,

1)       Have you made any changes prior to start of this issue?

2)       When exactly do you get the error message?

3)       Is the issue specific to the game?

Method 1: I would suggest you to keep the computer in the Clean Boot mode. Putting your system in clean boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.

Method 2: Register the dll files one by one

a.       Click the "Start", Click run, type cmd and hit ok

b.     Type the following commands and hit enter after each command.

 Regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

Regsvr32 shell32.dll

Regsvr32 jscript.dll

Regsvr32 vbscript.dll

If the issue is specific to the game then contact the game manufacturer for assistance.

Let us know if this helps.
