I took advantage of EA's 'On The House' deal for DA:O, so I downloaded the 15GB and installed. I try to launch the game and it spits out the infamous 'PhysXLoader.dll is missing' error. But after I click 'OK' another window I'm assuming is the DA:O Start Window and it gives me a whole new error; Invalid License. Reason Code = Missing DLL: [NxCharacter.dll] Error: 0x7E. What seems to be that issue?Patched to 1.05PhysXLoader.dll is PresentNxCharacter.dll is PresentComp Config:AMD A10-5745M APU12288MB RAMAMD Radeon HD 8610GDirectX 11

Could you please do a Clean Boot and then run a repair on the game (right click the game tile in Origin client)?

Can you try running the setup tool from within the game's install folder? Perhaps there's an issue with the version that's already installed.

The default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age\__Installer\physx\redist

That did not work, still shows the PhysX Error. I might have added this after you replied but I also get the Invalid License. Reason Code = Missing DLL: [NxCharacter.dll] Error: 0x7E on the windows that pops up after the PhysX Error Pop-Up

this resolved my issue just fine. i do not even have Nvidia GPU i have AMDHD7XXX, this is just something that the game itself needs to run EXE. ty for the file location.

Tried both suggested fixes, neither worked. Still saying I'm missing the PhysXLoader.dll and invalid license.

Security software often interferes with installers, temporarily disabling it is a standard, useful step.

Don't do so if you don't wish to, but I need to clarify that this is not an illegitimate troubleshooting procedure.
