Failed to Initialize PhysX Hardware Acceleration

Asked By Patrick S Gooden 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/15/2014

Hello,

I have the latest version of my VGA driver and still is saying to make the updates to use hardware acceleration. Any solution ? Is there a way to skip this update error ? Why my drivers are not recognized when I want to use hardware acceleration ?

Thank you !

Using hardware accelerated PhysX has been requested, but the drivers were out of data.

Please download the latest drivers from

This problem is related to the game. You have not mentioned the name of game or device that is being crashed. Anyway this error is related to the drivers. It depends upon the drivers you have installed or updated. It also depends upon the anti virus or anti malware that you are using. Any way you can fix this problem by the following steps.

• Delete the "storm engine.ini" in C > User > Your Name > Documents > Device you are running > Configurations.
• Open the "baseingine.ini" with notepad
• Press "STRG+F" and past this:  bdisablePhysXhradwaresupport=true
• Click the search, change the volume from true to false, as: bdisablePhysXhardwaresupport=false
• Close note pad and save the file.
• Now start your program

The other solution is to update your drivers by downloading and installing. Keep in your mind when you update your drivers, you have to restart your PC. 

Now it would work.
