Great, will try this!
already renamed PhysXDevice.dll in Binaries which gave me the option in-game for physx, but it was still using CPU and dragged the framerate down a few times. Will rename it back and try your way.

EDIT: SO MUCH NICER!

Fov is pretty good its pre-set to 90 i believe. it goes up in increments of 2 at a time but overall i can play this game a lot easier then BL1 and not have any narrow vision headaches.

The only problem i am having with Kurgans fix for Physx is since im using a Sapphire 6950 single card when i activate this it pushes up my cpu to make it work. it was working well on medium giving me a slightly better experience seeing the cool physx of some things. but getting to areas with some fire and barrel explosions and mobs really start to take its toll on my little 1100t cpu. Kurgan says running CPU Physx if you dont have Nvidia setup the difference between medium and high are not that different. just one thing he noticed is blood from enemies is a little more blotchy on medium then high. but overall equal goodness. so far im enjoying this game. if only i could run Physx better on my computer so i could get optimum enjoyment of this mayhem.

Will this work without a PhysX card? As in, throw PhysX at the CPU, performance not withstanding...

I set it to Medium and it worked very well... Then after about 15 minutes in my computer restarted itself. :/

It will, Ufgy was trying it earlier. I even tried it without the 9800, the 2600k clocked up seemed to do fine on Medium. Ufgy's AMD x6 though once shit got thick couldn't handle medium. Though on medium sometimes with the 2600 I was down to 20 - 25 fps, it felt a bit sluggish, but wasn't choppy.

And the difference between High and Medium seems to be less blood effects. And to be honest, the texture they use for the blood is so freaking low of a resolution, I honestly say Medium is a better looking setting.

I'm sad, a bit more testing seems the 9800gt isn't fit for High Physx. Though I'm not too sad since the blood textures are horrible. Though Medium it zips along and I liked that there was less blood, so overall not bad. Guess when taxes land sell the 9800gt and buy something bigger and badder. Though will have to either WC it or get single slot, 3 cards in a mid tower is a tight fit, looks like the 9800 right now is trying to eat a PSU.

The only "problem" I had was that the default FOV was a bit low for widescreen.

Has anyone else (without a Nvidia card) tried PhysX on medium? It was really working fine for me until it restarted my computer.

maybe Kurgan hast said it already but im Using my 1100t get me by CPU right now and using medium settings the game runs pretty good i had a few low moments when i got to an area with more then the usual mobs and fire coming out of pipes. it was a bit rough but for the most part it was playing pretty well. i never had it set then reset my computer since i was recording once i had issues i just turned it off.

but overall i was doing prety good for my little cpu and not even overclocking so im somewhat happy lol just wish i could make it more powerful and run it more smoothly.

Don't click this link if you don't want easy items. But for those that used it by accident, at least you can get it back.

Man I'm always missing out on all the fun for game launches!! my game is on its way newegg said today, but I know it will be tomorrow I would buy from Steam, but it would take longer for my internet to download than shipping.

That Key thing is interesting I wonder if they can ban people, I loved making custom guns in the last game once I beat the game.
