can't launch dragon age 2
It worked 2 days ago when I reinstalled it after not playing for a year but now Dragon age 2 refuses to launch, whenever I try to launch the game via steam, the ea app, or directly with the .exe it just opens up the ea app and then closes again, and nothing happens.
It's on Directx 9, not Directx 11 so it's not that, it's set to run as administrator so it's not that either, it's in compatibility mode so it's also not that. When I try to troubleshoot it says there's a ''missing'' required file, ssleay32.dll, but that's not true as it IS there. I have done everything people have said to do and it still doesn't work.
Try to clear your Origin cache.
All settings in Origin (only in Origin not in the games) are back to default settings after this.You will need an interconnection to register the DLCs again after this.
- Close Origin completely.
(right click on the Origin symbol in the task bar > close) - Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
- Type or copy and paste "%ProgramData%/Origin" (without quotes) into the new window > hit ENTER
- Delete all the files and folders in the Origin folder, except for the "LocalContent" folder.
(The "LocalContent" folder must remain untouched.) - Delete the "Dragon Age II" folder inside the "LocalContent" folder.
- Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
- Type or copy and paste "%AppData%" (without quotes) into the new window > hit ENTER
- Now your Windows explorer should have brought you to your "C:\Users\>your user name<\AppData\Roaming" folder.
- Delete the "Origin" folder inside the "Roaming" folder.
- In the address bar of your Windows explorer click on "AppData".
- Open the "Local" folder.
- Delete the "Origin" folder inside the "Local" folder.
- Restart the PC > Test
- Close Origin completely.
