PC Version: Mass Effect 3 problem, Failed to initialize the physics system

Hello!

When Mass Effect came out back in 2012 I played a ton of it. Recently I bought a new PC and I wanted to go back and play ME3. When I try to start ME3 the following message come up: Failed to initialize the physics system. Please ensure you have an updated version of the PhysX System Software installed.

I have an EVGA GTX 770 2GB and I got the new GeForce 337.88 Driver. I run Windows 8.1 and as I said this PC is new and it doesn´t contain any drivers from when it worked.

Thank you in advance!

Simon

    Go into the control panel, select Programs and Features, find NVIDIA PhysX, RIGHT click, and select Repair. Worked for me.
