Metro 2033 Physxloader problem

i picked up metro 2033 last nite and when i tried to play it i got the error saying the game couldnt run because PhysXLoader.dll is missing. I googled around and tried installing the physX from the Steamapps/common/metro 2033/install but no luck, any ideas? (and yes i know it probobly wont run well on my r1 but it was 5 bucks i couldnt resist)

 

Scratch that i restarted with the new physX install and its running, and running suprisingly well. I was getting a playable frame rate in the outdoor firefight in the prologe

 

runs pretty well on m11x r1 I have played it and awesome game

have fun playing it

 

It does? How did you manage that haha, I have it on the lowest settings and on 1024x768 to make it run smoothly!

 

nope got it on low at 1280X720 or something and got an average of 30 fps, sometimes up to 40

 

I will give your OC settings a try and see what I report..

I run the game using 550/1310/890, standard BIOS OC, and use game booster to stop unnecessary processes while gaming..

 

Not to sure what to say...I played for about 30 minutes with your OC and when I minimized at the end of a section to check my temp, the card had reset itself back to factory due to stability I guess. It did seem slightly more playable , but did not feel like an average of 30..Fraps typically had me at around the mid 20's average, but anywhere from 15-30. Still felt playable , but thats coming from someone who has really wanted to play the game.

EDIT -UPDATE

I just ran the benchmark for the game and got the following..

Options: Resolution: 1280 x 720; DirectX: DirectX 9; Quality: Low; Antialiasing: AAA; Texture filtering: AF 4X; Advanced PhysX: Disabled; Tesselation: Not supported; DOF: Not supported

Average Framerate: 16.00
Max. Framerate: 503.78
Min. Framerate: 0.95

I will be running it on a lower res to see what happens..

 

Seriously? Are we playing the same game? I was playing it just last night and after seeing my framerates hit 70 while playing I turned it up to medium, now I'm averaging about 30fps with occasional dips to about 26-28 for a second or two. Try running in dx 10 mode, I am and it's actually boosted my fps in other games too

 

I will try to run in Dx10 and see what happens..we are deff playing the same game lol. Would love to play the game stability on low for all I care, I just want to play the game! I just finished the "Ghosts" chapter with Kahn..

 

WOW! Deadboy you are a life saver..I would have never thought that going to Dx10 would have helped..and sure enough it is like you have said!

 

Yup I first noticed it in total war: shogun 2 that dx9 sucked and it wan better in dx10 try it with other games too, and glad to be of help

 

Are you running the voltage mod though?

 

Dddddddddd

 

Nope no volt mod

 

Hmm i cant seem to OC to your settings..oh well. Still runs pretty good though I have noticed it has started freezing..

 

had it happen once to me but its happened in other games too so im not too worried
