FIXED: Failed To Initialise NVIDIA PhysX

[Smarky Smark]

So when I run the game, I get this error message popup - "Failed to initialise NVIDIA PhysX. Please install the latest NVIDIA PhysX system software"

Anyone else have this issue? I've had my gaming rig for 3 years and have installed multiple games and have never had this issue before.

I have a GTX 680. I'm not super knowledgeable about this stuff, so how would I go about doing this? And would installing the latest software potentially effect other games that already worked with previous software?

UPDATE: I've since updated the drivers. I just downloaded GeForce Experience and I selected to install the physx system software. Once it installed, Arkham Asylum was able to run.

I'm surprised this game doesn't need the Legacy PhysX installer.

Well, BM:AA uses PhysX SDK 2.8.1, the Legacy Package is for games that used 2.7.2 and back

Game does not require the legacy PhysX system software....

Yes, it does. If you have installed the latest PhysX drivers and it still does not run, follow the link provided by

Im pretty sure this game requires the legacy physx drivers.

Grab them from here - http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx-9.12.1031-legacy-driver.html

Any game that complains about Physx not being installed when you know you have the new version requires that driver.

Thanks to HeWhosKnown and all providing tips on getting the game running.

No it doesnt.

Many games on Steam overwrite the current PhysX installation during their first time setup (Payday 2/Borderlands 2 are two that come to mind. They dont care how new a PhysX driver is currently on the system, they will always overwrite it with an ancient version) This can be avoided by editing the Installscript.vdf located in the games root directory BEFORE launching it for the first time.

The latest version of PhysX at the time of posting this:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/physx/physx-9-19-0218-driver/

Too many people claim a game needs the Legacy Package when in reality their main PhysX installation is severely out of date or corrupt due to the issue described above.


*Not going to say that Nvidia wont eventually break compatibility somewhere down the line making an older package required. But at the time of posting it works with the current PhysX package

i tried downloading the physX software and it didnt work however it worked perfectly fine when i used the legacy installer and i know im a little late lol
