Repairing the PhysX ran and completed but did not fix the problem.

(btw - this problem "failed to initialize the physics system" is happening to ME2 as well)

I've tried uninstalling PhysX. reinstalling, and updating but still not fixed...

I've never had a problem running this game before until I bought it again through Origin

This game (games I bought ME1 to 3) is now a waste of money.

      When i went to repair Nividia - Phys X it came up with an old file path of steam... so i uninstalled it - then right clicked on Mass Effect 3 in Origin file and clicked repair - i was then able to load in
