Dragon age 2 after launcher error occurs: nvwgf2um.dll

Version

dragonage2.exe v1.04

dragonage2launcher.exe v1.01

dragonage2config.exe v1.03

uninstall dragon 2.exe v1.00

Summary

processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU         930  @ 2.80GHz

clock speed: 2805 MHz

physical memory: 5.99 GB

display adapter: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT

vram:1.00 GB

driver version: 331.82

sound adapter:Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)

driver verison: 6.0.1.6602

Platform

operating system: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium  Service Pack 1 (6.1.7601)

directx version: DirectX 11 (Jun2010) or later

This is the error I get when I start the game after the launcher:

"Unhandled exception at 0x070121D8 (nvwgf2um.dll) in DragonAge2.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000004."

This problem just started. But I haven't played the game in a quite awhile. So the error could be anything. I'm not sure on how to handle this because I googled the answer and their was no information.

Thanks for your help and time!!!

Oh. I tried running as admin as well. Same problem.

  • The nVidia GeForce 9800 GT is a DX10 card.  It is not capable of executing DX11 instructions.  If you make it try, the game will freeze/stutter/crash.

    Yes, Win7 and Win8 (and even Vista, with an add-in) support DX11.  And yes, DA2 supports DX11.  But if your hardware doesn't, don't try it!

    I had the same problem this morning. I used the Configuration utility to switch to dx9 and it worked.

    I followed ptank1978's advice and it worked for me as well.

    Thanks
