[Fix] Crashing at launch.

[Neliel Tu]

Game crashing during opening video? Verified came cache?

Try updating the PhysX Drivers:

Note: Above link links to a newest version, link below is the one i used when i posted this.
I don't see any reason why the new one shouldn't work.

Seems to be crashing at launch for me, a couple of seconds into the unrealengine video.
Tried verifying game cache, did not help.

Anyone else have this issue?
I have 2x AMD 7970 in Crossfire btw.

Update: Installing the newest PhysX drivers worked for me.

Update2: Getting multiple confirmations on this fixing the problem.
Update3: Seems this only works for some people :(

No worries. *nod*

Yeah... There's a reason I didn't major in compsci. XD

I plan to become a games developer some day soon myself. The sheer number of graphics card and computer combinations make me shudder, and very VERY grateful for a gaming interface such as DirectX and it's less popular but open-source OpenGL.

I fixed it by going to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Antichamber\UDKGame\Config and changing the resolution entry in DefaultEngine.ini (last entry) to my default resolution of 1920x1080

I tried several things to fix it, but in the end I got it to work once I changed the resolution to 1600x900. I also updated the PhysX driver. It might have been the combination of the two that fixed it for me.
Thank you!

Edit: Dammit. After closing it and starting it again, I get the same problem. :(
Victory was short lived, sigh.....

For me, the game crashes right after the video finishes. The screen flashes black, and I can't do anything. I have tried everything, but nothing works. For reference, I am on windows 7 and have a good graphics card.

I have the same issue. I hear 2 seconds of sound on black screen then crash. I tried running it outside big picture mode, it said it had to install PHYSX drivers (which my video card does not support). I hope PHYSX isn't mandatory... which would seem silly.

Yes, sorry, but yes, PhysX is required for Antichamber to run propery.

Could anyone please upload physX on the pirate bay? for some odd reason I cant download anything anywhere but from the pirate bay! Please!

PhysX worked for me on Windows 7

Radeon X1300/X1550 here, and the PhysX install didn't work on my end either. Just figured I should report in. I'm checking this thread every other day to get this thing to work; it seems like a good enough game for the wait.
Running on windows 7 (32 Bit), 4GB of memory btw.

I've got an X1950, and it won't run. I talked to the dev, and it seems he says the X1000 series has trouble playing UDK games. I tested it by running Unreal tourny 3, and it crashed as well. So I think this card series is not compatible. Look into upgrading.

Same i have a radeon 6700 and it wont get past the unreal engine ad.

Hi,

Updating PhysX did not work for us; Vista 32 bit with Intel Pentium. We continue to be told that UDK.exe has stopped working.

Thanks
