It seems on Windows 8, 8.1, if you run Rift with SweetFX, you'll get this error. The game will run anyway, but this error was annoying me.

RIFT: rift.exe - Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point CreateDXGIFactory2 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\d3d11.dll.
I did some digging, because Rift doesn't use DirectX 11 anyway, it is safe to just remove two of the injected files that SweetFX injects in the rift directory:
  • Delete: dxgi.dll (or rename to dxgi.dll.bak)
  • Delete: dxgi.fx (or rename to dxgi.fx.bak)

These two are used by DirectX 11 games. So has no effect on Rift. Removing these two files will stop the error.
