Failure starting the game (EACore.dll)

Hy, my DA2 does not start at all.

My System:

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Prozessor 803 Mhz

4,00 GB RAM

Win 7 64-bit professional SP1

Nvidia Geforce GTS 250


DirectX 11 (newest version supported by Microsoft-HP)

The following things I tried:

-starting the game with the launcher

-starting the game with the DragonAge2.exe

-starting the game with "Win XP compatibility"

-starting the game with directX 9 and 11

-starting the game as admin

-uninstalling, rebooting, installing

Before I installed the game, I updated the Nvidia-patch to version 314.22 and checked directx.

I bought the game physicaly on disc and installed the patch 1.04 after installing the game.

Then I rebooted the PC and tried again.

When I try to start the game nothing happens.

I can see at the taskmanager, that the process "DragonAge2.exe" is popping up, and shutting down.

The Eventviewer records: (Sorry for german copy-paste...)

    The only thing I see that kinda jumps off the page is your mention of Dx11.  The game cannot run on the bare bones of Dx10 or Dx11.  The newer Direct3Ds leave things out, so the game disk wants to install Dx9, and it sounds like you didn't allow it to o so.

    They are completely inter-version compatible.

    But the installation runs fine and i couldn't find anything, that could block a dx-installation.

    Today I tried to install dx 9.29 "by hand", but the installer signals "newer version on pc". So I guess both my DX9 and DX11 are as up-to-date as possible.

    As far as I can see, the EACore.dll isn't running well.

    But reinstalling doesn't solve the problem....

    Anyone any idea?

    Next week I get a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660.

    I hope this solves the problem (after reinstalling the game again).
