Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Technical problems Win7x64 Nvi Phyxs error

heres the Image of my error : http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/4641/errormessageh.jpg

Okay, it's our own engine throwing the error. Happens right after we try to initialize PhysX and if that fails, PhysX returns an error, and we throw this message.

I just installed PhysX 9.09.1112 and ran DIV2 through Steam and the game still works. I am however working on XP, not Win7 64bit. Will keep asking round and see if we can find a Windows 7 machine.

Thanks you for trying to help :), This means a lot!

Can you run the PhysXRegInstaller with admin rights? (Or run it from command prompt, I believe Win7 command prompt has all rights.)

If this did its job correctly, you should find this binary value in your registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AGEIA Technologies\enableLocalPhysXCore



(You can start up the registry by pressing START, the click RUN, then type regedit and hit OK. There is no need to change anything, I would just like you to check if that key is there. I smudged the value cause it is the MAC address of a computer.)

No I do not see that there, I see this is the issue, anyideas on how to get the Reginstaller to work?
( right clicked and did run with admin, but when I did it the first time it said it was required to use xp sp2 :? which was odd but it opened up a CMD and then close and I had the idea it worked, seems not. I will try again to get that file to work)

I opened the file in cmd and both times it still opens a cmd window and closes just as fast :?, should or could I do it manually ?

What you can do is create a binary value in the registry, in the path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AGEIA Technologies\

So run regedit, and on the left, go to that "folder". Then on the right, right click in the white space, choose NEW and then choose Binary value.



Rename it: enableLocalPhysXCore (mind the caps!)

Then double click that value and fill in your mac address in the data field.

You can look up your mac address by opening command prompt and typing

ipconfig /all

One of the lines will say

Physical Address. . . . . . . . . :

The 12 characters after that are your mac address.

So in the end, the content of enableLocalPhysXCore should look like this:



Just start typing the 12 chars and it will end up like that. Never mind the four zeroes on the left

Ha thank you for that ( I did it myself just now but wasnt sure if it was right so I waited untill you posted that to click ok
I will now try and see if I can get ingame for once

I have made the registry, made it match my mac address, and the game still has the error ;/

I am a coder by trade, thus I have gone over the Reg file 4 times now hopeing I mispelt the name, typed in one to many 00s or something hopeing that this is a human error on my part, and I fear I can not find anything at all :? the Reg is there how it should be, reading the correct mac address :?!
I am this close to pulling out my hair!!!!!!!!

So the reg key is there, and you still get the exact same error message?

Indeed the reg key is there, with the mac address as the binary value... and the errors the same as before.
PS in bed now about 1am AUS time SO I need sleep, I will try again tomororw, leave the ideas on here and I will try them with full report tomorrow...
But thank you for the help so far !

I'm betting you need to delete the entire AGEIA Technologies registry key and reinstall Physx. Followed by running D2's PhysxReg thing.

This fixed the same error for someone else who was trying to play a different game.

Another user found it under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node

I did a check, and I did find the AGEIA,s PhysX in the WOW6423Node, including the enableLocalPhysXCore :?

Well you see by reinstalling, adding the node, is basically all I have done up till that step ;? my idea would be sigh uninstall the blustered game again, and reinstall( which is redownaloding it ;/ ) , but the issue is that's the 6th time and its been downloaded to much I will overused my own download limit, and the cost of that out weights a game that will not work...
there has to be a way to get this thing to work, I do not know what the hell is making this happen and its starting to make me very angry.

I will list the current steps I have taken, still with the error at the end :

Completely delete game
Uninstall Physx
Uninstall Gfx
Redownaload both Physic and gfx
Install gfx first
install Physx
Add enableLocalPhysXCore with mac address
Download and install game
Click on game, error

You should be able to backup the game so you can re-install it without having to re-download it. If it was a corruption problem with the download, you'd think the second download should have fixed it...

there isn't a corruption problem seeing the integrity check comes back clean every-time and defrag is at 0% fraged :? , hence I am lost very lost

I am runing out of ideas I really am......... I was once looking forward to playing it now its become a pain in my side that cost me 50 bucks ;/

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( before I get too excited!)
Ok let me inform you set by set,
It seems the the older drivers only install into the 32bit systems, and thus if I edit the reg files ( adding the enableLocalPhysXCore) it rights the mto both, what I did was,
Uninstall driver
disable physx in nvidia cp
install newest driver without older one
put enableLocalPhysXCore in only the system folder AGEIA one
and it worked withthe " your physX driver is newer warning hehe"
I AM HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you got it working.
Hopefully this will help if anyone else runs into this problem.
