How get PhysX work?

[Mr.Lolendo]

In config settings.cfg there is command PhysX 0. When it is set to 1 physx is on, but game will crash. In game console is written physx SDK is not available.

I have GTX460 and latest driver. In other games PhysX is working. I know that is old physx version and PhysX that time when game was made, Nvidia do not own Apex PhysX.

PhysX is a bit buggy in the game. I experienced quite a few crashes with PhysX on, and it sort of "infects" whatever game save you have it enabled on. The game doesn't support NVIDIA graphic cards, only old Ageia physics cards. You're not missing much with PhysX off. The only thing PhysX is used for are impact particles and a malfunctioning vending machine on level 3. Everything else is powered by Meqon Physics.

there was some nice demo video showing some VERY NICE physics and stuff :

but from whatt I know it is not in final game, it was only in some alpha demo version shown above, and was scrapped due to some copyright stuff or something.

That's mostly Meqon physics, which is still in the game. Unfortunately, they've set most objects to practically unmovable. I had to mod the rocket to make boxes fly around.

What exactly did you change ?

[cyanic]

I think it was the explosion strength (rocket seems to have it hard-coded for some reason). I've also flipped the sign on the strength, so it implodes instead of explodes.

Oh, and the original PhysX option of this game is a PPU(PhysX card) only option which means even a greatest Nvidia card won't do any shxt XD

I think this only happens in the v1.03 retail version , not the steam one

[Mr.Lolendo]

I got error with both sets physx 0 and 1.

Are you playing the retail (dvd/cd?)version? Cause this bug only happens in the v1.3 dvd version. With out the SDK it will definitely crash. This is how the steam version looks like

If you're playing the steam version make sure to check the cache. Also,make sure your using the latest version of the mod
