Windows 10 Alternative Fix

[Xaos Wolf]

Managed to get this working on W10 after the other Legacy Physx fix didn't work.

Quick rundown of events:
After running the game in Compatibility Mode for W95 I got the error to display specifically Ageia Physx. Googled "Ageia Physx Windows 10" and got this as the top result:

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/physx/9_18_0907/physx-9-18-0907-driver/

I uninstalled all other Physx versions via Programs and Features, installed the Legacy Physx version above, set Compatability Mode on the exe to W95 (or W98) and it worked! It finally worked!

Hopefully me bumbling into this version helps others get this running!

Hello!

I'm happy you managed to fix the game! I'm currently experiencing the same issue as you, but installing the Physx drivers from the link above and changing the compatibility mode does not solve the issue.

Did you perhaps do anything else to get it working?

Thank you!

Can't play either.

This worked for me:

1) get the PhysX Legacy drivers
2) Set compatibility mode to Windows XP Service Pack 3

Then as I tried to start the game, it said "couldn't find OpenAL32.dll"

3) Get a copy of OpenAL32.dll from another game or the internet (careful! high virus risk there!) and copy it into the Bionic Commando folder

I got mine from the mod RealRTCW for Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
