Hi all

 

I was just wondering if any of you guys were getting this problem/know how to fix it easily.

 

Every now and then Hawken crashes because of some failure with PhysX. I have tried re-installing PhysX but to no avail. Also I have only had it crash with Hawken.

 

Here is the error

Fatal error!

 

Address = 0x50327d1b (filename not found) [in C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Engine\73BE2921551D\APEX_TurbulenceFSCHECKED_x86.dll]

Also I don't want to turn the PhysX setting down because I like my pretty Particles :P

 

Current drivers

DirectX - 12
NVIDIA Driver - 361.43
PhysX - 9.14.0702

 

My rig if anyone wants to know :P

Hey look, people still can't write drivers for Windows 10!

Try that fix.

 

Otherwise, don't run a x.0 release of a Microsoft product.

Apparently Hawken doesn't run well with SLI, or so I heard

Thats not true at all.  I've ran Hawken in SLI since the closed betas, granted back then it didn't fully support SLI and you didn't notice any substantial improvement by running SLI in the beginning but as soon as Nvidia started pushing out an SLI profile for Hawken in their drivers it has always seemed to work just fine.  I never ran into any problems where I needed to turn SLI off to get anything to work or avoid crashes.  

 

Also, Deathstrike_666, my guess is that its an issue within Hawken or maybe PhysX.  It seems that after a while something gets corrupted and then it fails.  If it was incompatibility, it wouldn't function at all and would always error out.  The key here is "works for a while then dies".  That could be memory corruption, or just poor cleanup and memory maintenance on Hawkens end, it could also be some sort of incompatibility with Hawken referencing old calls in PhysX, that are no longer supported, since Hawken was created using older versions of PhysX.

 

I don't think it has anything to do with Drivers, SLI, DirectX 12 or Windows 10.  Purely Hawken and PhysX.

 

I'm not sure changing the PhysX to CPU bound is going to alleviate the issue as you are describing issues with Hawken crashing and not Windows reporting a "Driver has stopped responding and recovered" error as mentioned in the linked forum.

 

What I'd do is move the card associated with PhysX, if you have it set to the 2nd card, move it to the main, or vice versa and see if that makes any difference.   I have PhysX set to my 2nd card.  Also, test with lower PhysX settings ingame and see if that still fails, and then test with it off.

 

Good luck.

PhysX eats machines.
