    @mishnara Check out the following link here. There are a few fixes for this one listed there. This error is typically a missing update that the game needs from another program and not a game issue specifically.

    @mishnara You can do a fresh install here Install/Repair your VC++ files for the game (Microsoft VC++ Link)

    Or installing a new game to the same location would ultimately update them as well.

    @EA_Shepard i'm having the same problem. I've done everything you suggested, and then some, including updating Physx as recommended by other posters. I purchased this game yesterday and have not been able to get it to run at all. Not only that, but one of my DLC refuses to download. I tried the various fixes for that, as well, but to no avail. Any other suggestions?

    @EA_Shepard Yup. DA origins. Same invalid license error. I've done everything recommended in the links you shared, but no change. I hope EA fixes this. I've already started a refund on the game, though, but thanks for your help.

    @Catali7 Okay, have you set up a case with live support yet? This is an issue being tracked but with purchases made after release and not recently. Had you ever played on that PC, or through EA Play at all before the purchase?

    @EA_Shepard No, I'm waiting for my refund to be processed. And yes, this is my gaming PC. I play other games through the EA app, but I do not have EA play nor have I ever had EA play.
