    Opening and playing the project from Case 1108597 in Unity 2020.2.0a15 editor outputs the following error message to the Console window:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. Loading assembly failed: "Assets/Code/Plugins/XInputDotNet/x86_64/XInputDotNetPure.dll"
    Opening/playing the project in Unity 2020.1.0b13 editor does not output the error.

    I don't know if the error is expected. 
    XInputDotNetPure.dll
    seems to be built with .NET3.5, maybe it's related to that?

    However, I submitted the bug-report, because it's a regression and I'm not sure if it's perhaps a bigger issue and should be looked at.

    I personally can live without using that specific assembly.

    Hey there! So this is actually expected behavior though admittedly it could be a bit more clear. In the editor log it has:

    Could not load image <absolute path removed>\XInputDotNet\x86_64\XInputDotNetPure.dll due to Invalid PE header Machine value
    Failed loading assembly Assets/Code/Plugins/XInputDotNet/x86_64/XInputDotNetPure.dll
    Loading assembly failed: "Assets/Code/Plugins/XInputDotNet/x86_64/XInputDotNetPure.dll"

    I'll work on getting the reason for load failure bubbled up to the editor log so it's clearer. Recently I added the ability for the editor to verify the portable executable headers prior to loading the dll in order to prevent the loading of corrupt dlls which cause crashes when they are used.
