Physx no longer seems to work

[Wobb the Great and Terrible!!!!!]

I have played this game multiple times through multiple different PC setups over the years, without any real problems.
But now I just reinstalled it to play it again, and physx doesn't work. I have it set to normal or high, but there is nothing there.
No cobwebs in the vents that you can crawl through (which are an awesome touch that add so much atmosphere), no debris when I blow up weak walls, and the plastic strips hanging down in the medical wing just hang there and I walk through them like they aren't there.

Anyone know what's causing this? Physx seems to be working ok in other games, and I just reinstalled my GPU drivers along with physx on a clean install to make sure it's not that.

it doesnt work with me either with my GTX 1050
not sure why

[Wobb the Great and Terrible!!!!!]

It gives me an error when I turn it on, saying my hardware isn't compatible. But it has been doing that for ages, but it still would work.

I have even turned on the physx notification in the nvidia control panel, and it says clearly nvidia physx > GPU when I play arkham asylum.
It does the same with arkham city, and the physx does work with that game.

I'm thinking it has something to do with the newer physx drivers, but I really don't want to have to roll back my driver just for this one game

Yes the new physx drivers don't work you can try this:
Download and install the NVIDIA PhysX Legacy System Software.

I found solution for me. I install new version of software and replace downloaded setup with setup in Batman steam local folder on my local disk. Now it's working...
Whan I start the game Steam install old version of software from local folder and that is the problem...

What I did was to take the new PhysX program and put it in the game directory. After doing that I had no problem with PhysX.
