alut.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like alut.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like autoup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. War Rock Client) could share the same alut.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when alut.dll is attempted to be loaded either when War Rock Client is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common alut.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - alut.dll.
- alut.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\GamersFirst\War Rock\system\alut.dll.
- Cannot register alut.dll.
- Cannot start War Rock Client. A required component is missing: alut.dll. Please install War Rock Client again.
- Failed to load alut.dll.
- The application has failed to start because alut.dll was not found.
- The file alut.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because alut.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your alut.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with War Rock Client), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, alut.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading War Rock Client, system crash while loading alut.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
