A Dragon age AMD graphics, physX fix(Windows 10)

[[SSPT]Rasco]

After reading the pinned guide, I was still left with the physX error however I found a fix for me and I wanted to add this so any new buyers with amd can try it.

Download and install the nvidia physX drivers just the same as the pinned guide

before you start dragon age again find the physX folder in Program Files(x86)/Nvidia corporation
in the nvidia corporation folder should be the phys X folder, in said folder there will be a folder called common, and the file path should look like, Program Files(x86)\Nvidia corporation\PhysX\Common, Now copy all the .dll files to dragon age folder bin_ship.

For those less inclined with finding game folders on steam the dragon age origins game folder and subsequently it's sub sub folder bin_ship are found by following the programs(x86)/steam path, within the steam folder there will be a sub folder SteamApps, in the SteamApps folder will be a another folder called common, in the common folder you should find all your games, find dragon age and within the main folder will be bin_ship, before pasting insure you path looks like
Program Files(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Dragon Age\bin_ship.

Then start dragon age, note here from when I was having the issue I'd followed the pinned guide however when I started dragon age it installed it's physX package removing all the .dll from the nvidia install of physX bar a single PhysX.dll and by copying and pasting the .dlls from nvidia's physx package into bin_ship I haven't recieved the error since nor has the game tried to install it's physX package.

I hope this helps anyone with the ongoing PhysX issue.

It's an old game, incompatibilities tend to crop up, but gamers almost always find a way.

Dude! This was the key, thank you! Been trying to get this game running off and on for like 2 years now.

This remains the fix on a Win11 AMD based system.
