Restart your computer > Test the Game.

Hello,

I have Dragon Age Origins through Game Pass Ultimate on PC, and whether I try to launch it through the xbox app or the EA app I get the same error "Invalid license. Reason code = Missing DLL: [NxCharacter.dll] Error: 0x7E"

Now I've searched for a fix for a little while now to no avail. I am running Windows 11 and here are some methods I've tried:

-Repairing the installation

-Uninstalling and reinstalling

-Installing PhysX (which whenever I try to install, it states I have the current or newer version, therefore it will not install)

-Reinstalling DirectX through DXSETUP.exe in the redist folder which had seemingly no response

-Restarting my computer

-Linking the nxcharacter.dll file to the daorigins.exe file in the bin_ship folder

-Installing the game on a different drive

-Running the game as administrator

There may have been other methods I forgot about. However, as you can see I'm at my wit's end, so any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Did you run the PhysX installer from the game folder?

• Try the NVIDIA PhysX Legacy System Software.
• Restart the PC.
• Test.

I downloaded the version 9.13.0604 from 2013 you linked to the Dragon Age Origins folder and ran it there and then the game finally started. Thanks!

Very good!

Have fun gaming.

When I Launch Dragon Age Origins from Origins I get an error that says

“your game failed to launch

an error on our end caused your launch to fail. Try again a little later”

then it gives me the option to “get the game” or “close” I already have the game so of course I select close.

now when I launch the game from the desktop I get an error that says 

“we’re sorry, an error has occurred

invalid license. Reason code = Missing DLC: [NxCharacter.dll] Error: 0x7E”

I will upload the two errors

any help is appreciated.

note: I did go into my command prompt and tried a few ways there but didn’t work
