new Physx drivers

[CaptScarlet]

All I know about it is that it caused my game to crash yesterday, when it had been running fine up until then.

I fired up the game and before it would even load I got a "(Null) PhysXLoader.Dll" error. It had never done that before.

After an hour of trying various fixes, I had to resort to uninstalling and reinstalling the game. And we all know how long that takes.

Reinstalling the Physx drivers might have fixed that error. If it happens in the future try that first before reinstalling.

Hi everyone take a look at this, not sure if it is caused by the new drivers? http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-X0HCVDESJY Keep an eye on the wagons and you will see they are moving about whilst stationary

Hi

I have at last installed the new Physx drivers software and Rail Sim runs ok.
However, the problem I now have is both "RS_Tools" and "RS_Kickstart" will not run further than showing the "Routes" only.
Both "RS_Tools" and "RS_Kickstart" keep telling me there are no Scenarios and both these programs won't go beyond showing installed routes, instead they say they have stopped working.
I have only installed the Physx drivers and did nothing else.
Prior to installing the new Physx drivers software both the RS programs ran ok.
My operating system is "Vista Home premium" with SP1 installed.
Can anyone offer any help with this problem please.

Best regards
Mike

This probably doesn't help but I have the new physics drivers installed on Vista 64bit SP1 and RS_Tool_TMB and Kickstart both work and report all routes and scenarios so I'am not sure what is happening with your setup.

Hi John

Thanks for stopping bye I am not sure either. A bit of a mystery will have to revert back to a saved copy of RS.

Maybe those wagons contain claustrophobic pachyderms who just want to get out

Yeah maybe there are some Zombies trying to get out and munch on Those fellas at nvidia

Can anyone give me the drivers of the original psysx drivers please as my whole computer is starting to crash while playing rs after 2 hours

[scooby1066]

I can send you the 7.11.13 version if that is any use. I went from the original on the Rail Simulator disc to these then jumped to the ones available now. I have nothing earlier then 7.11.13 i'm afraid.

I was getting that after using rskickstart and changing the 47's for the 66 something to do with i think the blueprints pak file and not Mike simpsons great tool?
but if you want to re install the original physx drivers go into the rs folder and double click the physx exe that's there!

Didnt evan have any of mikes tool installed

Cheers for the tip will take a look

Did you do anything with the physics ? Rsadam mentioned somewhere that when you click on a loco that is when the physics engine is applied to it, so if it is crashing at that point then that could be the cause.

In another thread you said you were having problems and it was suggested that you reinstall the physics from the disk. Did you do that ? If so perhaps it stuffed something up. I would try reinstalling the latest drivers again and see if it makes a difference.

What do i do know as RS is crashing everythimg i click on a loco?

[overmarze]
