alright so the Mafia II demo is out and all that crazy cool shit however i can't play it. i already had/have PhysX installed, and whenever i go to launch the demo, it gives me that message, i can either click OK or close the window, both of them will do the same thing and have it try to install something fruitlessly and the game never starts. here are some things i have done, none of which worked: •uninstalled PhysX software, then let the game "install PhysX System Software" •uninstalled PhysX software, then reinstalled from the PhysX installation(s) in the 3rd party folder, neither of which worked •renaming the 3rd party folder, so that the game couldn't find the physx install files •on a weird thought renamed the physxloader.dll, didn't do shit and for all of those options I tried the Mafia II Launcher.exe and the Mafia II.exe found under the PC folder. system specs though i'd be surprised if that really mattered -i7-920 -8GB DDR3 -9800gt 1gb, it's not great i know but i just want to play the demo
Do you have the latest video drivers? They should come with the latest version of physx
I do. to add, here's what i tried afterward -uninstall video drivers, install most current (again) -reinstalling mafia ii (already did it earlier but it didn't work)
I have the same problem, but sometimes it doesnt even show that window. Edit: Thank god i got it working!(Uninstalled from the 3rd folder and installed it again..)
