I'm still hoping for a patch or a separate fix, if it won't be ok tomorrow. There are people in the community who could probably fix it, at least Borderlands got its fix. The only problem is the source code, in case of Borderlands the guy who fixed it had a source code for the problem drivers. So I guess in this case all hope is for Bioware

$#%^@! Game not running

Create someone theme in Dragon Age II PC Technical Self Help please.

[VelvetV]

Yes, create it please. There will be more attention to this problem for the full game, I believe, than merely to the demo glitch.

Nobody cares on our problem

[VelvetV]

"You do not meet the requirements to post in this forum" - do I need to already own a game to post on DA2 self-help forum? Damn... Anyway, waiting for somebody to post there, although it's self-help. But if there's some kind of support for the game, like phoning in and telling them about the problem, that would be much better than "self-help". We already tried to help outselves here and failed.

Ok, waiting for somebody else to take action. Since I haven't bought the game which obviously won't run after the demo didn't, I can't even create a thread about the problem by forum rules.

P.S. I see that people are reporting problems in the General section, too, and it looks like I can post there. But I'd better wait for somebody else who bought the game, a case of an already bought game not running would look more urgent to Bioware.

Official Support, including a Chatline, is handled by EA. Read Chris Priestly's pinned message about that at the top of the DA2 Tech discussion forum. But that is for owners of the actual DA2 game.

I understand, but does it mean that I have to buy a game that I know for sure doesn't work? There is no warranty that they fix it if I buy it and post in that forum. Maybe they will just say: sorry, it's really a sse2 problem, but we aren't interesting in fixing it, buy a new processor, goodbye. Or maybe they even completely ignore my thread, not all threads get replies as I can see from reading that forum. I'll wait, surely there's somebody else who wants it working. *cry cry*

Well that is disturbing, to say the least. BOOOOOOOO!

I'm going to pick up my copy in about, eh, an hour. If I run into the same problem, I'll make sure to carry our thread over to the PC Tech support forum. I think it's probably locked until you register your game to your name (which I'll do when I get it). So if I don't see a thread over there in like two hours and I get this damnable error too, I'll start it up over there and link to this old thread, since it's apparently the same problem.

Rifster, you may want to go and use the EA game support reporter. At the bottom of the forums under "Help" there is "BioWare Game Support." If you go to that link it's the EA support page and you can report it from there. If you do so and do the live chat with a support person or whatever, I might suggest linking them to this thread since it's got a lot of information in it.

[VelvetV]

Good luck with the game, Steve, part of me is hoping that you won't get the error, although Rifster said he did. If it happens to run, please share your joy here with us.

It's true that you can't post in the help forum unless you own a registered game. Please don't forget to inform them about our sse2 suspicion!

[SteveGarbage]

Well, as expected, the PhysX error persists. I'm taking it over to the PC support forum as well as filing an official report with EA/BioWare. I'll link you guys over to hte new thread when I get there.

[Rifster]

Spent 2 hours in live chat, no result. All what they can suggest is install directx, roll back ati driver and buy the game.

Unfortunately it's the same old story.
I've started a thread over in the PC Support forum ---> http://social.biowar...0/index/6414339
Please head over and lend whatever support you can to help bring attention to this game-crippling error.

Been working with this demo.First i didnt notice that when debugger hanged there was that error box open.After hitting ok it gives same as watson.I dont know why watson doesnt get that illegal instruction.So i deleted every PhysX files and copied all PhysX files from Bulletstorm.Now debugger stops again after cudart32_30_9.dll but no illegal instruction,it just opens that error box.After ok same.Changed back original PhysX files and again illegal instruction after cudart32_30_9.dll,opens error box and after ok same.So it is something to do with cuda and that illegal instruction(c000001D) is sse2.So far i understand this.Find out that some people got almost same error with Bulletstorm,i didnt but there www.unigamesity.com/how-to-fix-failed-to-initialize-physx-error-message-in-bulletstorm/ two fixes.
Somewhere was used with dao older 8.x physx drivers,but i havent tested those yet.
And can that "Failed to initialize Eclipse" be this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_%28software%29??

I tried the same solution like people use for Bulletstorm, it didn't help. Unfortunately I couldn't try the second solution, as I didn't find any option to disable physicx support in DragonAge2Config.xml. I wonder if it's possible, if it is it would solve all our problems by the looks of it.

As for what Eclipse is, the game engine that DA:O used was called Eclipse. DA2 uses Eclipse, too, but it's modified. (found out all that from wiki)

[SteveGarbage]

Kazeva - I'll quote your post over to the PC Support thread I've opened.

For those of you who haven't bought yet and aren't unless this error is resolved, if you guys could write up a post something to the effect of "Please fix this so I can buy and play the game" I'll c/p those over as well. We're not getting any attention on the other thread yet.

[NoAng3l]

I've been watching this thread since the beginning and was REALLY hoping the problem will be resolved with the release of the game. I'm also running an old system and am in no position to buy a new one. But I will definitely buy the game ... one day, if not on Friday, then maybe in a half a year or so >_>.

[hANGhOHN]

i also watch this tread because i have the same prob. athlon xp and ati card. i didnt buy the game until the error is fixed. its unbelievable that there is NO SUPPORT!!!

[Crazy_general_ivan]

Same problem.

[kazeva]

Didnt even think that Eclipse is engine cause error is what it is.Doesnt sound good.
Anyway,three new games,similar physx problems and different specs.This should still be Ageia PhysX.It could work.
SteveGarbage yep i wont edit it.
One thing came in mind.If it is trying to use GPU PhysX.

Guys who post and want their post to be copied over, please list your system specs, otherwise how should Bioware work out the solution blindfolded!



My post for copying over:

I didn't buy the game yet because the demo didn't run for me with "Error initializing PhysicX", and people who bought the game said that the problem persists, so once it's fixed I'll gladly make a purchase. I'm following the thread to see when and how the solution comes up.

My specs:
Windows XP SP3
Athlon XP 2700+ (ran DA:O just fine)
RAM 3gbs
GeForce 6600GT AGP
(the last one is below reqs, but I'm going to ask my cousin for borrowing her superior AGP videocard once I buy the game, it's listed just to show the full setup I used to try to launch the demo)

Error log:

[Gorath Alpha]

In addition to the probable roadblock from SSE, DA2 has included tweaked graphics that exceed the capability of any Radeon X1650 version. From the fiver year old Radeon generation, an X1800 will be as slow as will be practical.
