You PC can easily run DAO.
For the error, you need NVIDIA PhysX installed on your PC to run the game.
go here > Download PhysX > Install > Restart the PC > Test
If that don't helps, create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that with the "Choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.
I had this with an AMD graphics card so no PhysX. To solve getting the error I had to run the game as an Administrator
You can also install PhysX if you have an AMD card.
As a matter of fact the game will run without running it as Administrator if you install PhysX on your system.
- @holger1405 yes you can install PhysX but it won't actually run as AMD cards don't know how to talk to the PhysX API.
As far as I can tell there is something in the DAO runtime that Windows 11 does not allow to run without admin privileges. There are more than a few posts on here that say they have installed the PhysX install and still get this error so I assume Windows 11 is the issue and running the game as Admin seems to be the solution The game needs PhysX to run, your CPU is capable of doing the PhysX calculations regardless of your GPU.
