Re: Game fails to load, "Failed to initialize the physics system."

So you get the same error at installation? (Failed to initialize the physics system)

Did you tried to install the PhysX software in this way?

- Download the PhysX software from here.

- De-install the PhysX software from the Windows control panel > reboot.

- Run the "PhysX-9.16.0318-SystemSoftware.exe" as Administrator > reboot > test

I did it now again as you said (uninstall physx, reboot, install newest downloaded physx driver as administrator, reboot) and i get the same error message when i try to launch the game from the origin client.

Ok, that is strange.

Is ME3 the only games with problems?

Please go to your ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\__Installer\physx\redist" folder and run the "PhysX-9.12.0613-SystemSoftware.msi" > remove > reboot > go back and run the "PhysX-9.12.0613-SystemSoftware.msi" again.

If that don't helps, run the Windows System File Checker Sfc /scannnow and post the concluding message.

@holger1405

Yes, i have no problem with any other games.

And yes, i already tried with the physx version that can be found in the game installer directory.

(anyway its ME3, and PhysX-9.11.1107-SystemSoftware.msi )

sfc done.

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

any ideas?

@holger1405 now i tried Mirrors Edge with full physx support, and runs perfectly.

@mrvau

Not many to be honest.

I assume the repair function is not available yet? (in Origin > Game Library > right click ME3 > Repair)

If not I would try to reinstall the game running Origin as Administrator.

After two weeks of misery, the final solution: windows re-install. Now everything's fine

Thanks for your help anyway!

Yea, that helps most of the time.

Have fun Gaming.
