Advanced Options on the Windows Explorer settings are set to just that: Show hidden items and also search for system items, both set to on. Still nothing.
As for installing as admin, there's no such option: I AM the admin on the system.
UPDATE: Correction, just found it manually in the PhysX Common folder. Odd thing is, the game refuses to see it, yet I can confirm METRO 2033 (which I also know requires that exact DLL) works and runs just fine. What gives?
UPDATE Pt2:
I have no clue what I just did that changed it, but I just started the game as admin after closing out of Steam...And it worked? I've got no clue what made starting it that way any different...
