Problem #7: Dragon Age: Origins encounters ” failed to initialize physx ” error message upon startup.

Possible Solution #1:  (By Slygar from the Dragon Age forums)

Uninstalling physx and then going in this directory:

C:\\\\Program Files \\\\Steam\\\\steamapps\\\\common \\\\dragon age origins\\\\ redist\\\\ PhysX_9.09.0408_SystemSoftware

And running the installer there fixed it for me. Spaces added due to forum not letting me post that long of a string without them.

Possible Solution #2: (By NooberandNeeber from the Dragon Age forums)

1) I uninstalled PhysX (AGAIN.)

2) I restarted, just to be safe.

3) I followed stuntpope’s suggestion, and downloaded Driver Sweeper (Here: Click Here I ran Driver Sweeper, checked the little box labeled “PhysX” in the main area (the big white box that takes up most of the Driver Sweeper window and has several check-box-option-things), hit analyze, and cleaned out all the files that appeared.

4) I opened regedit. Went to edit > find (or just press ctrl+F) and searched for Ageia, and found a few files, but no folder. In despair, I scrolled upwards and by chance found… AGEIA (something… I can’t remember, since I deleted it)! So, I deleted that folder.

My directory for Ageia Software(or whatever it’s called) was: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\ Software\\ classes\\ VirtualStore\\ MACHINE \\SOFTWARE\\ Ageia Software
(^spaces added because Bioware forum was ****ing at me)

I seriously have no idea how I stumbled across this. There’s like 1.5 billion registries.

5) Reinstalled PhysX

6) Ran Dragon Age

7) Rejoyced

Hope that helps anyone else out there who is still having this problem.

I have attempted both of the methods and have got the game to start after reinstalling the physx and nvidia drivers both the new version and the one that came w/ the game. But it only starts on the first play and when I exit the game it immediately has the error again forcing me to uninstall and then reinstall the physx driver just to run the game again - both of the solutions show have only been a temporary fix for me and do not permanently fix the issue. I am running the game through steam on windows7 64bit. If anyone finds a permanent solution please let me know. Again I have tried all up to date drivers already and the drivers that came w/ the game.
