I think we are doomed
Patch release today, hope it will work...

This game was nearly doomed but there social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/300/index/7048387/1
Luke Barret is doing good job with that 1.03.
I'm going to buy this when i have extra money.

Just found this "Dragon Age: Origins also had PhysX for about 1 day, but it was crashing a ton of machines, so they disabled it"  www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/280395-15-wanting-physx-dragon .

And it propably used only cpu.Found several comments about that.

Another point.

"Bioware has today confirmed a deal with Ageia" november 2006.Nvidia bought Ageia february? 2008 and DA:O came out november 2009.My opinion is that NVidia f*cked up something.


PhysX 9.10.0514 freezes during install.Got it installed but no help.
Theres physxinfo.com/news/3744/physx-sdk-2-8-4-say-goodbye-to-system-software/ some info about 2.8.4.

Also I discovered that the Catalyst 11.3 AGP Hotfix drivers also like to crash my computer for no apparent reason, so I'm still stuck operating on the lowly 10.6 package which seems to be about the only driver package that will not crash during install or crash repeatedly during Windows boot.

I am certain you have forgotten, in spite of being reminded about it.  Get the Omega Drivers, not AMD's originals.  And give up on games as new as this one.  An XP processor is only a footnote to PC history now.

So, I'm reading all this, but will it DA 2 be playable on SSE processors after patch 1.03 ?

We will see.Patch is out .I ordered game yesterday so cant test it yet.
(Bioware should have answered to this question a long time ago)
SteveGarbage??Or somebody.
I hopefully get game at this week.

forums.techarena.in/video-games/1397174.htm some guy say he is playing DA2 with XP2700+.
First post is 10.3 so its right after game came out.His problem was that after installing PhysX
game went unplayable.Made account there to ask about this but everytime i try login it gives "site off-line..."

Its still reasonable to ask are these working on Athlon XP's and its pretty obviously that some pc games are badly coded console ports.Dont know but propably here is also some Intel vs. AMD things.Wouldnt be suprise if DA2 etc. have somekind code for P4.

Just tried to reload DA2 with all the patches and still have the same error . So my guess is thats all she wrote.

Post there social.bioware.com/forum/Dragon-Age-II/Dragon-Age-II-PC-Technical-Self-Help/Patch-103-for-PC-is-now-live-7521358-1.html and tell that you still get PhysX error.

Yep.Got game.Not working.Same error.I noticed that Luke Barrett answered to you (they are working on this) so i post there little later.

Well,one answer were too obviously.If devs buy PhysX license they get source code.

I hadn't been aware 1.03 released. I'll give it a shot on my PC later this evening and see how it goes, although I'm not holding out hope.

At this point, I'm a motherboard and hard drive away from a dual-core PC, so afterward it won't affect me. But for now, I'll give it a shot and see if 1.03 helps.

Did you notice that forums.techarena.in/video-games/1397174.htm .

[SteveGarbage]

Yup, still not working, as expected.
I added another post in the 1.03 Thread just to let them know that I'm still having the issue as well.

Well, some sad news folks - on Friday, my poor old Athlon XP 2700+ bit the dust. It served a good life of more than eight years of almost constant use (rarely turned my PC off). I've been working on upgrading my PC and just ordered the last piece I needed for my new rig, so (hopefully or else I will be SO mad) I don't anticipate having this problem any more.

However, I'll still poke my head in to check on the issue, since I devoted a boatload of time to it, I'd like to see that it gets patched eventually.

[Gorath Alpha]

I'd be willing to bet that the CPU itself is still good, unless the heat sink assembly failed first and the MB didn't have any failsafe for processor overheat. The age of the capacitors on the MB is such that the most likely culprit is the mainboard, since those do degrade over time, although the ones inside the power supply fail at a much higher rate.

Here's a "Buy it Now" option for $24 for a Biostar MB to fit your CPU, although it will probably want to set the multiplier to some lesser processor's speed instead of the XP 2700's actual multiplier. It comes with a T-Bird 1.0 GHz processor, but those ran way too hot for the stock heat sink assembly.

http://cgi.ebay.com/...item3f0a9394c6 

Biostar was producing and selling mainboards for the AMD Athlon XP processors long after anyone else had stopped doing so.  There is one particularly good reason fo stuffing an old XP machine under the computing table, and that is the KotOR game, which doesn't run well with recent OSes or GPUs. 

I've always liked Gigabyte's mainboards, though, and this next one would know what an XP 2700 was all about, for $39, with shipping, or you can make a "best offer" on it:

Steve Garbage - Bad luck but good luck for new one.

Sandy42 - Have they asked anything?Heres been little quiet.

Gorath Alpha - Do you know were there any dual socket motherboard at 400 MHz bus speed.

I don't think that there ever were, no.  The Barton series of XP processors were actually a couple of years after the first of the K8s, and the Opterons for the 940 socket would have been the dual socket setup by the time there was any K7 400 MHz FSB. 

Typically, dual socket mainboards were for servers, and actually weren't as good for use in a gaming box as the single socket MBs. 

[SteveGarbage]

Well, I got my new PC up and running a couple days back and Dragon Age 2 now works perfectly with my dual-core processor. Just further evidence that it seems that the SSE2 is the culprit with the old Athlons.

Yes i know these arent best for gaming but it helps with those games what uses that second cpu.Propably depending manufacturer,chipset,drivers,OS and multithreading optimizations.

Steve Garbage - What power you had in that Athlon XP machine?

I also send PM to that one guy who had PhysX error in patch thread page 5.Asked is it fixed and can he post specs here.

[Zeiah]

Hi, I installed Dragon Age and got the same problem with the PhysX, but today I found a solution to this problem. I just started the game with the daorigins.exe and not with the launcher.exe and it worked without needing PhysX. Hope it helps. Sorry for my english.

[VelvetV]

Do you mean the demo or the game? I only have the demo and cannot try it with the game...

I didn't backtrack either Zelah or you to confirm or deny that you had "K7" Athlon XP processors, however, I personally don't believe that Zelah actually had the problem that this thread is all about.

Torgue 3D engine Pacific demo works with 2.8.4.5 files.

Hi all.
