So I just installed Mass Effect 3 and on my first attempt to launch it keeps giving me an error saying: “Failed to initialize the physics system. Please ensure you have an updated version of the PhysX System Software installed.”
So I went into the game files and tried to run the PhysX installer in order to update to the version I need. (Found in the game files here:_Installer/physx/redist). However, when I attempt my computer automatically shuts the download down because the version I already have is more up to date than the version I am attempting to install.
I also tried the basic stuff like repairing the game files through origin and restarting my computer.
