Hey @Scourgeoforder,

That error usually means that NVIDIA PhysX isn't installed. The game needs this in order to run, so it will run into errors if it can't find it. You should be able to download it directly from the NVIDIA website.

I downloaded PhysX from the Nvidia website, but to no avail. It still doesn't show it in the file.

    EA_Kent I am experiencing the same issue. I get a pop that states "Error initializing PhysX. Please visit http://www.nvidia.com/physx for updates."
    
    The link itself is dead, but I was able to find the files on the Nvidia website. However, PhysX has been installed on this laptop - the version I am running is 9.09.0428.
