Error Initializing PhysX - Dragon Age Origins (AMD graphics card and CPU)

Basically as the subject says. I cannot get Dragon Age Origins to run on this computer. I've downloaded the PhysX drivers, downloaded the latest (non-beta) update for my graphics card and everything. Nothing.

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5Ghz

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7790

RAM: 8GB 1333Mhz DDR3

  • The problem with older games is that they don't run well with newer versions of the PhysX. However, if the game is installed from a disc, it should include compatible version of the PhysX. My suggestion would be:

    1. Uninstall the game and PhysX from your computer

    2. Install the game again and during installation you should be asked if you wish to install the PhysX as well. Confirm this and install PhysX from the disc

    3. When updating your gpu drivers, make sure that you choose custom install and untick PhysX from the update to ensure that it won't update the one you have. 

    I hope this helps 😕mileywink:

    I doubt this will work simply because it is not the disc version of the game. It is Origin. I got it when it was on the house.
