Re: Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition Missing DLL

Hey @triplecomb26960

That error usually means that NVIDIA PhysX isn't installed on your PC. Dragon Age needs it in order to run. 

When you've got a chance try downloading PhysX from the NVIDIA website to see if that helps. Let me know how it goes when you can. Thanks!

  • I ran into the same issue, but nvidia will not let me install it since I already have a newer version on my pc. Any other suggestions?

    When you've got a chance would you mind posting a DxDiag so we can take a look? For more details on how to pull up the file check out the EA Help website

    Once you have the text file please attach it to this thread. Thanks!

  • @EA_Kent I downloaded and installed the NVIDIA PhysX and now Dragon Age Origin is loading properly. I can play the game!
  • @EA_Kent Hi, does it matter what processor you have because I have intel and I don't know if it's safe. I get paranoid about downloading things idk about.

    @nicensweet3192 It does not matter on the CPU that you have as long as it is better than an Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon 64. This package is actually an open source physics engine SDK. Meaning that the program (Dragon Age: Origins) has some code that depends on the libraries within it.

    Hi @luvzhugz

    Have you tried downloading PhysX itself from the link I posted in my post above? If not, please give that a shot and let me know if it helps with the error you've been seeing. 

    Thanks!
