the procedure entry point createDXGIFactory2 could not be located in the dynamic link library c:\Windows\SYSTEM\d3d11.dll

I'm gonna post this here in case someone in the future has the exact same problem as me, because I just fixed it.

Problem: When launching the game using a mod or unofficial patch, the error "the procedure entry point createDXGIFactory2 could not be located in the dynamic link library c:\Windows\SYSTEM\d3d11.dll" starts spamming the screen. After hitting "ok" a million times, the game starts normally, but can crash at any time.

Caused by: Something about SweetFX, textures/retexturing, I'm not sure. I managed to piece together this solution by talking to people who make Skyrim porn mods on the SweetFX forums. It's definitely caused by visual updates to the game.

Solution:
1. go to your games folder (usually Program Files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/Vampire The Masquerade - Bloodlines)
2. Locate dxgi.dll. (If it's not there, go to (C:)/windows/system32 and copy+paste it from there.)
3. Rename dxgi.dll to d3d11.dll in your game folder

I don't know why it worked, but it did, and now I don't have to sacrifice a small animal every time I want to launch the game!

OMG, you are a Genius. TNX a lot. By the way, my game Fallout 3 (same solution).
