[Solved] No Physx option with GTX 460 in Batman Arkham Asylum :(

Forum Video Games : PC Gaming [Solved] No Physx option with GTX 460 in Batman Arkham Asylum :(

Best answer from Gman450.

Word :    Username :           
 

Last week I got a gts450 in order to replay Batman Arkham Asylum with physx - but the bmlauncher.exe settings gave me no options for it.
so i changed the BmEngine.ini code; 'physXlevel=0' to 'physxlevel=2'
Game ran fine but slowed down extremely in phsx bits, and often crashed in areas with cobwebs etc.

SO

I just traded up my gts450 for a GTX460. Which NVIDIA says should run Arkham asylum with physX.
downloaded and clean-installed the latest nvidia drivers
and still I get no physx option from bmlauncher.

(yes that's my doodle in the BG)

So again, I edited the BmEngine.ini as prevoiusly stated
This time, the game crashed while loading my savegame and gave me a smug eff you:

"Couldn't file file for the package A_physX requested by async loading code.
?int?version.ID.Unreal? ?int?version.ID.local> FMOD: 42200/42200 game
BLAH BLAH BLAG etc etc and so on"

The game runs fine without physX on but I WANT MY PHYSX dammit
so what should i do?
And is there some way to test if physx is working at all in my system?

Download and install the patch for the game. Only then can you enable physx from the settings menu. :)
