NxCharacter.dll load fail

I recently bought Dragon age origins ultimate edition off of steam and downloaded it, when I ran it I got an error that said "library load fail: NXCHARACTER.DLL".

I thought that it must be a screw up on steam so then proceeded to download it on origin and still get the same problem, I have now downloaded it 3 times and am still getting the same problems.  The furthest I've got is an error box saying that there was a problem with the games setup and asking me to reinstall my game.

Again, not particularly helpful.

Lots of posts suggest it's an antivirus thing, I have my antivirus ignoring the origin games folder and I still get this problem (my antivirus is Microsoft security essentials)

System:

Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.120830-0333)

Please help me fix this, I have downloaded 60+Gb's of data with nothing to show for it and on a 200KB/s speed that is a lot of wasted time.

    Did you reinstall the game after adding the game folder to your AV exclusion list? If not, it is possible that NxCharacter.dll is still missing from your folder after being quarantined by your anti-virus. In this case you should be able to retrieve it from the quarantine folder. Also try to install Physloader.dll.

     

    Let us know if that helped.

    The Physloader download seems to have worked, which is strange as I have downloaded it a few times and it kept saying I had a newer version...ah well at least it work now.

    Thank you very much for the help and quick response 🙂
