so physx no longer works in Batman: AC....

[TickleMeRifle]

i have a 2080ti and not a single physx effect is present in the game despite having it on in the control panel and in the game settings. heard others are having the same problem too...any fix???

Are you on Windows 10? W10 lacks the legacy redistributables, did you try the PhysX installers from the Steamworks Shared folder, or the installer in the Asylum folder if you have that game?

Open NVidia Control Panel, choose your GPU instead of CPU or auto-select.

Are you sure it's not working? The settings menu will say your GPU isn't supported when you enable it because the game is dumb and doesn't know that the 1000 and 2000 series are newer than the GTX 570, but if you just put PhysX to high and run it anyway it should work.

The primary symptom of PhysX not working is when game hangs with a black screen and won't load the main menu. If it loads up and runs at all with PhysX enabled, then PhysX is working on whatever you set in the Settings panel before you launch it.

Also works fine on High PhysX with my GTX 1080 on Win 10.

yeah it tells me that my 2080Ti isn't supported whenever i change physX settings. but leaving it on anything from low-high still won't show physx effects....i just think the 2xxx series is just too modern for the game to recognise lol

Most Physx effects are only present indoors in arkham city with very few exceptions, Check the courthouse or the alley penguin drags you into in the prologue, these have physx based objects in them. (Just an example thats easily accessible from the beginning of the game.) Also try the benchmark in the options menu, it's filled with demos that all have some sort physx effects in them. Check these out with physx on and off to see if theres a difference.


For some reason, the streets don't use physx at all, the ground is covered with static paper.
I'm sure this was an oversight on rocksteadys part.

It sure fooled me when I started the game, I thought the physx were broken but nope! They just don't apply to 90% of the outdoor area.

PSA for those who want PhysX working. I will preface that I have an RTX4090 not an old more compatible card or whatever, which PhysX wasn't working with at all with the latest PhysX drivers. In the benchmark prison scene, the paper was floating and static and the toilet paper was having these weird long stretched black shadows and neither of them would move when the inmates walked over them.
Step 1: in nVidia control panel, go to the PhysX tab and make sure your GPU is selected and not CPU or Auto
Step 2: Go to thw windows apps control panel and uninstall whatever PhysX you have installed. You don't have to uninistall all nVidia drivers, just search PhysX in your apps list and uninstall just that. Now reboot.
Step 3: Download and install these 2014 PhysX drivers from nVidia: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/physx/9_14_0702/physx-9-14-0702-driver/
Reboot (I didn't and it still worked, I know I'm an impatient hypocrite.)
Voila, functioning PhysX.
Now for some ranting. I still tank about half my frames when there is PhysX on the screen, but it's just so awesome I don't care.
I had a similar fix for Borderlands 2 PhysX, but that was a long time ago I pulled that off and it was a lot more involved, but it wouldn't tank frames as bad after that.
How I did this and the same thing in BL2 was I just looked up the PhysX drivers released ~6-9 months after the game released and installed them after removing whatever was currently installed. There was a way I figured out how to have both current and the old ones simultaneously while having the best performance in all my PhysX games, but I forget how sadly. I did post my solutions all over the place hoping to help BL2 and PhysX fans (Maya's ability with PhysX is amazing) but I have long forgotten where they are.
ANYWAY, the other things I did was change some ini file settings relating to PhysX in willowgame something file, higher memory limit or page file size or something in the ini file? Install all redistributables from the game folder and all of that fixed it to where with my old Gigabyte GTX1080 Waterforce Extreme clocked at 2150mhz would only in the worst of circumstances drop to about 45fps when even extreme amounts of PhysX were going on on screen in 1080p. I think I remember my 3090 being able to drop only to 75 in 1440p. Which for a game that was as poorly optimized as BL2 was and how much of a toll PhysX does take, was wildly impressive and I was very happy with it.
Yes I am an old man. I just turned 35.

Hello, in these GOTY edition, i have 4070Ti GPU and no phys x in game like papers on ground etc?

Okay, So I have a RTX 4080 and run on windows 11, and had this issue of Asylum, City, and Origins Physx not working for quite some time. Asylum just had them floating in their spawn position, and City and Origins just crashed, and I've tried everything. From installing older drives, and even having a dedicated Physx card (My old GTX 970), and nothing worked. But I eventually got it by doing something simple. this is what I did

1) Uninstall both NVIDIA game drivers and Physx drivers. (Go through the start menu and type uninstall, then click on the add or remove programs)

2) Type NVIDIA in the search app bar

3) Uninstall both the graphics driver, and Physx driver (if you have multiple Physx drivers, uninstall all of them). You'll have to reboot your computer, so do that

4) After your PC is back up, go to the NVIDIA experience app, and (If done correctly) it should say you still have the current graphic driver installed for some reason. Re-install it

And for me, it worked, and not only did it work for City, Asylums Physx and Origins Physx worked for me flawlessly, and Knights Reactive fog/smoke too, which was broken for me for awhile. So that's what worked for me

[hisi]

it only works in door
