Mass Effect 3 PhysX error

@RBJets Hey, check this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Mass-Effect-3/Game-fails-to-load-quot-Failed-to-initialize-the-physics-system/td-p/961834

do a search for "physx" in your control panel-->uninstall/repair area, if you cannot find it in the list. when it appears, r+click on it and repair will be an option. Still not sure it fixes the problem but that part worked.

@Tophiate

I appreciate your effort to help people, but the last post in this thread was made over two years ago.

Please check the date of the topics you replay to.  

the thread should be closed then. When I reply to a question it is opften times meant to also generate more discussion on the topic.

the set up for old threads is poorly handled. not my behavior.

First time install of Mass Effect 3 on Windows 10 64-bit. 

Nvidia Legacy driver installed.

Latest Nvidia Driver installed.

This *** still happens. Incredible.

"Repair" idea does NOT work (anymore). Uninstalling PhysX to install older Nvidia driver versions for "a game" is out of the question.

UPDATING your code, would be the appropriate solution, since you are still selling this game and I just bought it.

And all these closed forum threads telling people "issue is 'solved'" are ... a nice marketing gag, but false.

Fix your game.

It's not a Program code issue but an installation problem on specific systems.

Repair the PhysX software in "Programs and features" > reboot > test

If that don't helps, go to your "<drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\__Installer\physx\redist" folder and run the "PhysX-9.11.1107-SystemSoftware.msi" > reboot > test

If that still don't works, download the NVIDIA PhysX software stand-alone from here > run the installer as Admin  > reboot > test

None of the "solutions" worked :<

@raven095

What exactly did you tried?

@holger1405

I tried several things.

-Reinstalling drivers

-Repairing Physx

-Reinstalling Physx seperately

-Reinstalling and repairing game

Nothing seems to help.

@raven095

Did you restarted your PC after each action?

Did you tried both suggestions from this post.

 If that don't helps, please create a DxDiag in text file format, also go to your Reliability monitor (Press the windows key and "R" at the same time and copy or type "perfmon /rel" (without the quotes) in > ENTER and look if it has ME2 entries.

 If yes double click at the last one, copy it to the clipboard, (Bottom left corner) save it to a text file and load it up together with the DxDiag. You can do that with the "choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.
