What are eFX_Gate.dll Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library eFX_Gate.dll Errors

eFX_Gate.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like eFX_Gate.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Vegas Pro 16) could share the same eFX_Gate.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 eFX_Gate.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Vegas Pro 16 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common eFX_Gate.dll errors include:

Access Violation at address - eFX_Gate.dll.
eFX_Gate.dll could not be found.
Cannot find C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 16.0\MAGIX Plugins\essentialFX\x64\eFX_Gate.dll.
Cannot register eFX_Gate.dll.
Cannot start Vegas Pro 16. A required component is missing: eFX_Gate.dll. Please install Vegas Pro 16 again.
Failed to load eFX_Gate.dll.
The application has failed to start because eFX_Gate.dll was not found.
The file eFX_Gate.dll is missing or corrupt.
This application failed to start because eFX_Gate.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Your eFX_Gate.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Vegas Pro 16), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, eFX_Gate.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Vegas Pro 16, system crash while loading eFX_Gate.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.

How to Fix eFX_Gate.dll Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your eFX_Gate.dll issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Hit the Windows Start button
When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click System Restore.
Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the eFX_Gate.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Vegas Pro 16 (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Vegas Pro 16 software.

You can uninstall Vegas Pro 16 software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many eFX_Gate.dll error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the eFX_Gate.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.

If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your eFX_Gate.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate eFX_Gate.dll file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free eFX_Gate.dll files for every applicable version of Vegas Pro 16. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

Locate your Windows operating system version in the list of below "Download eFX_Gate.dll Files".
Click the appropriate "Download Now" button and download your Windows file version.
Copy this file to the appropriate Vegas Pro 16 folder location:

Windows 10: C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 16.0\MAGIX Plugins\essentialFX\x64\
Windows 10: C:\ProgramData\ACID\ACID Pro\9.0\MAGIX Plugins\essentialFX\x64\
Restart your computer.

If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve eFX_Gate.dll problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.
