Dragon Age: Origins Won't Start No Error Messages [ Edited ]

[MTOldtymer]

I know this is an age old problem. I have read through a few hundred forums, and tried everything that they suggested. I have uninstalled, reinstalled both the game, and origin client, all with admin privileges, changed compatibility modes, checked the _Installer folder (physx folder is missing, never had it through multiple re-installs and repairs, even tried creating the physx folder then made a redist folder and put the physx files in it from the physx common folder), uninstalled and reinstalled graphics drivers, same for physx files, including trying older ones suggested from the forums, and more. This also includes installing/running without the Windows Defender AV, and also setting up exceptions for both origin client and the game, both files, and folders, as well as the firewall. The game simply just will not run, and does not give error messages. When I've tried to open it from origin client, as well as directly from the DAO folder, it all results in the same thing. Double click it, origin client opens to the DAO page, or disappears if it's already open, then comes back about 2 seconds later, and nothing happens. I can get the DAOriginsConfig file to open, letting me set graphics, sound, etc, but that's the only part of the program that works, when directly accessed from the bin_ship folder. Am I missing something? Below is my system info for reference:

Hey @MTOldtymer can you grab me a DxDiag so that I can take a look at your system: https://help.ea.com/en/help/pc/how-to-gather-dxdiag-information/

The more info we have the better we can help.

Part of the OP included the details from the DXDIAG report, but I will attach it for you. Hopefully something in there you can use to help determine the issue I'm having. Also attached is a detailed system analysis of all hardware, processes, windows updates, etc. Only sensitive data was rewritten or deleted.

Hey @MTOldtymer I'm seeing a couple of errors listed there in relation to programs having issues.

Let's start by running the System File Checker in Windows 10 to look for any issues: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ie/help/4026529/windows-10-using-system-file-checker

[MTOldtymer]

I ran the system file checkers, etc, though this is a fairly newer build, only a couple months old, the only errors it found were all related to windows defender, but nothing critical. Everything has been corrected, however the same problem still remains, as the original post.

I'm having the exact same issue, was wondering if you ever got any answers?
