To use OpenXR:

into your game folder, but do extractopenxr_loader.dll
. - If you are using an Oculus headset or one that has a native OpenXR runtime, make sure you switch to your headset manufacturer's OpenXR runtime for the best experience
If you DON'T want to use VR or don't have a VR headset:
- Only extract
dinput8.dll
into your game folder. DO NOT extract the other files, or your game may crash.
