I try to work around it by reinstalling PhysX from Nvidia's site, from the game files themselves, reinstalling the game, nothing works. I realize I can't play ME3 on Steam, so I buy the trilogy on sale on Origin this last Black Friday to have all the games on one client.Ĭan't launch ME2 on Origin, the game cites PhysX issue after PhysX issue. I decide to play ME1 and beat it, begin ME2 (on Steam). I bought ME1/ME2 on Steam many moons ago, did not play them. These files are from the PhysX redistributable included with the game.Alright so this is getting ridiculous. Once the files are installed, your game will have the additional set of files: If your game is in a write protected directory, this program must be run as administrator (it may crash otherwise). To use this program, you just run it and point it at your installation of ME3 that isn't working by selecting the game executable (under ME3/binaries/win32). I extracted these physx files out of the msi directly. This tool bypasses this issue by just placing those PhysX files right next to the game exe, which is where the game will first look to load the dlls. Due to questionable design of the installer by NVidia, the installer will refuse to run if certain newer versions are installed, but they don't have the files or necessary information for ME3 to find the PhysX files it's looking for. This very simple tool installs the required physx files for Mass Effect 3 directly into the game directory, bypassing the need for the PhysX installer that normally is run when the game is installed.
