Hey everyone, I'm tearing my hair out trying to get Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition (v1.1) to launch on my Windows 7 PC with an AMD graphics card. Every time I try to start the game (whether through the launcher or directly), I get the error: "Failed to initialize NVIDIA PhysX. Please install the latest NVIDIA PhysX system software." I know this is a common issue, especially on non-NVIDIA systems, but I've tried seemingly everything suggested online, and the error persists. I'm hoping someone here might have a niche or advanced fix I haven't come across. Here's a comprehensive list of what I've done so far: My System: OS: Windows 7 GPU: AMD (not NVIDIA) Game Version: Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY v1.1 Antivirus: Quick Heal (primary) + Windows Defender Troubleshooting Steps Taken (in roughly chronological order): Resolved steam_api.dll issue: Initially had a steam_api.dll is missing error. Found and restored steam_api.dll from Quick Heal's quarantine. Crucially, added the entire game folder (C:\Users\New Era Engg Works\Desktop\bruh\betmen\Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY) to the exclusion/whitelist of both Quick Heal and Windows Defender to prevent re-quarantining. Reapplied game crack (if applicable). PhysX Driver Installation Attempts: Checked the game's common redist folder for a bundled PhysX installer, but found none. Uninstalled any existing NVIDIA PhysX System Software. Installed NVIDIA PhysX System Software Legacy Driver (version 9.13.0604) from NVIDIA's website. Uninstalled 9.13.0604, then installed NVIDIA PhysX System Software Legacy Driver (version 9.12.1031) from NVIDIA's website. (Each PhysX installation attempt involved a clean uninstall and a PC restart). Installed All Other Game Redistributables: Located and ran all installers from the game's common redist folder: dxwebsetup.exe (DirectX Web Installer) oalinst.exe (OpenAL installer) vcredist_x86.exe (Visual C++ Redistributable) vcredist_x64.exe (Visual C++ Redistributable) vcredist_2015-2019_x86.exe (Visual C++ Redistributable) vcredist_2015-2019_x64.exe (Visual C++ Redistributable) xnafx40_redist.msi (XNA Framework Redistributable 4.0) dotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe (.NET Framework 4.0 - noted that .NET 8.0.1 isn't supported on Win7, so sticking to 4.0). Restarted PC after running all these. Edited Game Configuration File (BmEngine.ini): Navigated to C:\Users\<Your_Username>\Documents\Square Enix\Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY\BmGame\Config\ Opened BmEngine.ini with Notepad. Changed PhysXLevel=0 (or 1) to PhysXLevel=2. Saved the file and set BmEngine.ini to Read-Only. Tried "Batman Arkham Asylum - Advanced Launcher by neatodev": Downloaded the launcher and extracted its contents into the game's Binaries folder. Launched the game using this new BmLauncher.exe (running as administrator). Launch Method: In all attempts, I've tried launching the game directly from C:\Users\New Era Engg Works\Desktop\bruh\betmen\Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY\Binaries\Win32\BatmanAA.exe (or ShippingPC-BmGame.exe), running it as administrator. Current Status: Despite all these efforts, the exact same "Failed to initialize NVIDIA PhysX. Please install the latest NVIDIA PhysX system software" error pops up immediately upon launching ShippingPC-BmGame.exe. I can get to the game launcher (BmLauncher.exe) and tweak settings, but the game itself won't start. Has anyone encountered this specific persistence of the PhysX error, especially on a Windows 7 / AMD setup, and found a truly obscure or advanced workaround? Any help would be immensely appreciated, as I'm out of ideas!
