MAFIA 2 ~ PhysXLoader.dll ~ QUICK FIX

[ShyOn92]

Quick fix to those facing start up issues and error messages showing physxloader.dll isn't able to install.

All you need to do first is update your physx drive files from the Nvidia website.
below are the only files that you need to get for the game to work

~ https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/physx/physx-9-19-0218-driver/

after doing that, search for the PhysXLoader.dll file in game folder and replace it with the newly installed PhysXLoader.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common folder into the game folder and it will start up.

i mean, i just can`t find the PhysXLoader.dll file in game folder, i download those nvidia files tho.

Is it "PhysXUpdateLoader.dll" or just "PhysXLoader.dll"? Cause my file search only shows the update one. In the Nvidia folder.

Did you solve it, Snipeguy?

I updated my Nvidia drivers and also downloaded the old SDK legacy file, that seemed to have fixed framedrops for me with PhysX. Also replaced the old loader file with the new one.

Edit: Turned out none of the fixes I tried helped with framerate, so I think PhysX is botched as hell. There´s a rumor about the devs working on a remaster version, if that´s true I hope they either remove the PhysX or use a working version of it.
