PhysX SDK not initialized. PhysX System Software will be installed? Wtf.

[69InchNails]

So, i just bought the game for some nostalgia. But as soon as i try to launch the game I get the error as stated in the title. Is there really no fix for this? I've seen people talking about updating drivers - Already did that, still no fix.

I've tried everything i've seen on the forum. Is there really no way to fix this?

*PROBLEM SOLVED* Hi mate, I had the same problem. I then went to the steam forum to find a fix. What I did was just go into control panel, remove my current PhysX driver, and then launch the game. Then it would just reinstall it for me, and the game launched. If that doesn't work, try removing it again, and go to Nvidias website to download another PhysX driver. Hope this helps, CHEERS!

**Alternate FIX** Go to control panel, click on Nvidia PhysX, click REPAIR.

This worked for me.

Exactly, where do i find my control panel, because i know my Nvidia cpntrol panel but i cannot find an option on my PhysX tab to delete the driver!

Windows Control Panel, not NVIDIA Control Panel...

Start Button > Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a Program > NVIDIA PhysX...

Thanks for the solution :) This should be pinned.

I got the "PhysX SDK not initialized" error fixed but now the game crashes in a couple of seconds or at best a couple of minutes after gameplay starts. Only happens if PhysX is on (Medium or High settings both crash). Any ideas if this can be fixed?

Intel Xeon CPU E3-1230 v3 @ 3.30GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780
Windows 7 64-bit

Try updating your Nvidia physX driver to the newest one. If you already have the newest one, try using an older one.
- All of the drivers can be found on Nvidias website

Hey can anyone help? i have AMD

[Karl Pilkington]

^ You just keep it turned off.

I think you might have to install the driver thingamajig anyway or else the game won't start up. Silly I know , but thats just how it is.
