UPDATED Info based on current findings. Other posts should not be considered to be instructions.

*Installing the legacy driver or the latest removes 8.10.13.
Game will not work with Physx Legacy, will work with PhysX_8.10.13_SystemSoftware https://mega.nz/#!VOwngYSR!DF9R4wFZToAN ... 7JscpOKbb8

Uninstall everything related to physx.

Install PhysX_8.10.13_SystemSoftware.

Keep in mind that installing the latest Physx or Physx legacy again will break it.

I have not found a way to install this version of Physx alongside Physx legacy and latest. My previously mentioned workaround (see second post) did not work as I thought. Tried with an old benchmark (https://www.geeks3d.com/20130308/fluidm ... -download/) and Physx was not properly accelerated.

As it stands I can only confirm that this works on Windows 10 64-bit

Older operating systems may behave differently. Other installed software may cause crashes. It should work on a fresh Windows 10 install with just this game installed and the latest Nvidia driver (without Physx selected during installation) 431.18 as of this writing.

So my recommendation is to uninstall PhysX_8.10.13_SystemSoftware, and install Physx Legacy and Physx latest when you are done playing this game, as other games require those to work.

My system
Windows 10 64-bit 1903 18.922.100
1080
Z97-A
16GB RAM

EDIT

I have now done some troubleshooting and for me the game crashes with anything newer than the 2.8.1 files from Physx 9.12 .

https://mega.nz/#!JaJTRABQ!TeOGO5_VlTB5 ... zmjkMvVB_k

Replace 2.8.1 C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Engine with the ones in the above link. Take backup of existing folder in case some other games don't work with it.

Works with Physx Legacy and PhysX 9.19 installed.

I'm not sure if it is properly Physx GPU accelerated now, but at least the game work.

The error I got without replacing the files (9.19 installed).

Outdated info

Found a solution.

Looks like Physx Legacy don't work on this particular title. Uninstall everything related to physx, might require the original installer if you can't uninstall it from add or remove programs. Install the one that came with the game.

Then work your way up again, installing the earliest version of physx first.


Original Physx included in the game PhysX_8.10.13_SystemSoftware:
https://mega.nz/#!VOwngYSR!DF9R4wFZToAN ... 7JscpOKbb8
Legacy Driver 9.12.1031
https://www.nvidia.com/object/physx-9.1 ... river.html
Legacy Driver 9.13.0604
https://www.nvidia.com/object/physx-9.1 ... river.html
Latest 9.19.0218
https://www.nvidia.com/object/physx-9.1 ... river.html

While 9.13 in theory should cover 9.12, i don't think that is really the case.

Spoke to soon, looks like installing the legacy driver or the latest removes 8.10.13.

Alright this seems to work

Uninstall everything related to physx

Install PhysX_8.10.13_SystemSoftware, copy https://mega.nz/#!hfBXmKxA!Lxvfxp4bi67z ... MPwcUaQVqE (Latest physx files) to C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX.

Keep in mind that installing the latest physx again will probably break it.
Checked with a game that required Physx Legacy (Medal of Honor) and a new game Metro Exodus which I believe requires physx. Everything is in order.

EDIT:
No, doesnt work as I thought, just tried a Physx benchmark and the benchmark is not properly accelerated using this method.

So i would advise completing the game while you just have PhysX_8.10.13_SystemSoftware installed, and then installing the latest physx and optionally physx legacy for older games.

[jambo]

does not work i did everything right
still the same error fudge piece of shit game

[jambo]

is the issue even related to physx

[Terje_P]

Have you tried just having PhysX_8.10.13_SystemSoftware installed? As installing later versions of physx uninstalls it again. Causing the game to crash to desktop again. (See workaround)

Have you tried my gamersgate release which is now on the site? That one includes visual runtime files in the game folder.

Try to install:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... px?id=3387

Works in a VM too. (VM Ware Workstation Windows 10)

Also works on my laptop with Intel HD graphics running Windows 10.

Works in Windows 7 32bit running in a VM too. Fresh install with just Winrar and Steam Slug installed.
Works in Windows 7 64bit running in a VM too. Fresh install with just Winrar and Steam Slug installed.

PhysX_8.10.13_SystemSoftware i have only have that installed i installed the vcredist 2005 x86 thing still wont work always gives the same error for me i am not running intel gpu i use my main gpu

[Terje_P]

Have you tried installing the game to the C drive? Doubt it will work.

I just dont get why it isnt working unless there is a problem with corrupt system files.

Actually got the same error that OP had in another game now (Tunnel Rats)

I don't know exactly what fixed it, but copying d3d9.dll, libwine.dll and wined3d.dll in the game's executable directory seems to have fixed it

Version 1.7.52
For Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/10

https://fdossena.com/?p=wined3d/index.frag

EDIT:
That just crashes the game and bring back the error OP had as soon as you shoot. There are a lot of different versions though, so one might work. It is a DirectX wrapper, basically takes DirectX games and run them in OpenGL and now Vulkan.

[jambo]

so which wrapper i need to get for steam slug to work i would love to play this

[Terje_P]

I have not found a wrapper version that works for this as I didn't need it. You could try updating your DirectX with the version included in the gamergate release.

Run it again and it will overwrite any corrupt files.

[jambo]

i have latest directx installed i have had it installed forever

Revival of the thread as the Russians have made a patch for the game. No physx trickery required.

https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5327595
Original upload:
https://disk.yandex.ru/d/T2UXo82XV6qwdw

mirror and gamersgate release:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... v-8yfJTgmi

Google translate:

"ENG" - copy the file along this path with a replacement so that the game is in English.

Throw the rest into the "release" folder with the replacement content. You can do it in parts

"SteamSlug.exe" - Sobstenno NOCD, for which thanks to the Processor.
"CEGUIFalagardWRBase.dll" - false positive for an argument has been removed.
"PhysXLoader.dll" - Loads the local PhysX from the game folder as appropriate.
"RenderSystem_Direct3D9.dll" - the game icon is loaded into the processes and into the "Alt + Tab" menu. Plus, sync is included for every fireman.

"Problems" is the last try for those who still have problems.
Additional logs are written, some files are filed, etc.

One more point.
If the game still crashes after the ATI splash screen, it may very well be that the Russian keyboard layout is turned on.
For details of the struggle - to our Lefe.

All of the files may not be needed given that the gamersgate release is already in English and DRM free. Feel free to experiment.

Playing the game on my Intel laptop in which I delibrately choose to ignore the Physx which comes with the game, only the PhysxLoader.dll was needed. I have not installed any other Physx system software on this laptop prior.

Without it the game would crash.

I have now included just the "RenderSystem_Direct3D9.dll" and Physxloader.dll in my google drive, as those seems to be the files that are strictly needed for the game.

To summarize

Start the installation
Cancel the physx 8.10 installation
Apply PhysxLoader.dll and RenderSystem_Direct3D9.dll which from the Russian description seems to improve frametimes/performance. Physxloader.dll is the file that is absolutely needed.
Try changing you keyboard layout to English in Windows if you are getting crashes right after the videos.

[jambo]

finally got it to work extracted the russian fix files on the game folder and changed keyboard language to english then it finally worked and i was able to complete the game thanks so much terje p

You got a C++ error? Good! Try to use windows XP system, boy

and old games don’t use windows plague 10 to play
