Metro wasn't even released until March of 2010. So this change wasn't new and had been around for awhile.<br /><br />Lots of games use PhysX if it's available as optional tech...if it isn't, it just sits as a grayed out option on the video options screen. The fact that this won't even run to sart with tells me that these guys fully integrated it right in to the game's functionality (big word bonus!).El Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10478000688625612550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862815374570000833.post-80548594405989004292011-08-19T06:51:46.934-07:002011-08-19T06:51:46.934-07:00But if NVidia changed PhysX after this game was re...But if NVidia changed PhysX after this game was released, causing a wave of compatibility issues, just because it was their property, that's a fuckstick thing to do. If 4A/THQ decided to use a technology that worked just fine, if it was marketed to them as a "do-all" technology that would work on everything, just to have it change later on, that could potentially be actionable.<br />Or maybe 4A/THQ was lazy, knew the PhysX APIs, knew they were meant for NVidia cards and used it anyway because it was too hard to learn anything else. If so, that's on them.Liam J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05670587605642193711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862815374570000833.post-26474437386110338392011-08-18T21:26:57.753-07:002011-08-18T21:26:57.753-07:00Did NVidia tighten up control of PhysX?

AMD had nothing to do with it. <br /><br />Again...NVidia didn't force 4A or THQ to utilize an apparent PhysX requirement in their game. They chose to do that all on their lonesome. They are the ones that bound the game to a specific card brand's software.El Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10478000688625612550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862815374570000833.post-53384521092039376862011-08-18T21:13:17.487-07:002011-08-18T21:13:17.487-07:00Awesome.Awesome.Shaun Guthriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547788378440263686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862815374570000833.post-32807874835306348792011-08-18T20:51:17.753-07:002011-08-18T20:51:17.753-07:00http://www.ngohq.com/graphic-cards/16223-nvidia-di...http://www.ngohq.com/graphic-cards/16223-nvidia-disables-physx-when-ati-card-is-present.html<br /><br />The only 'fixes' I have found have been reinstall physX.

Oh, I don't doubt the problem you...I doubt it.<br /><br />Oh, I don't doubt the problem you're having, but I do suspect you're aiming at the wrong target.<br /><br />NVidia starts forcing games to use their hardware...how? They can't hack in to the game and set it up to magically reject AMD cards and require NVidia files. If that were possible for them to do, one would suspect they would do it more often, right? they don't, because they can't, and even if they could they'd be sued in to insolvency if they did by the developer and the publisher, who I doubt would be pleased that a hardware manufacturer fucked with their work to cut off part of their potential buying audience.<br /><br />The only people who could do that are the developers. So get mad at 4A Games, and maybe at THQ (who published).<br /><br />Rage is good. Rage at the proper target it better.El Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10478000688625612550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862815374570000833.post-42636348524882577502011-08-18T20:04:28.029-07:002011-08-18T20:04:28.029-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03007255097952950240noreply@blogger.com
