Got this error msg - PhysX not init. Please install ...
I've the PhysX installed during the installation process. Anyone can help?

Thanks.

First remove physx program, then go and get latest drivers from nvidia site. then before installing go to regedit:
Start -> Execute -> type in "regedit" -> then going "KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" folder -> "SOFTWARE" folder -> and there delete the "AGEIA Technologies" folder. Then install the latest drivers. after that it should work, atleast it did for me.

I've the latest driver from Nvidia and still the same error msg after I uninstall the game .. I'm running XP with SP3. Going to try this out on my Vista system.

you don't have to uninstall the game, just keep it on your computer, remove all physx drivers by uninstalling them ( go to either configuration-programs and software-remove physx or use the physx setup that came with the disk/download of the game, what works as both as install and uninstall) then go to regedit (your registry) remove the file posted above, then reinstal your latest physx drivers and then it should work. The problem is is that because with previous games it installed older physx drivers and registered it in your registry, when you then delete them (physx drivers) the registry could still remain what causes the problem, but if you remove these and then reinstall the latest physx drivers, it registers the new ones wich are required to play the game. (meaning all above, first remove the old physx registrys before installing the new one ontop of it, what causes the error) if you have done all of the above and it still doesn't work, just check the forum of legend: hand of god main site, maybe they will have a better solution for you and offcourse use the latest drivers, the physx driver that came with the game is not the latest. check NVidia site.

Did what you've suggested. Game is now playable under XP or Vista. Thanks for the help

you're welcome

I am getting this error dx9_initscreen can't create a dx9 device. anyone else getting this or know how to fix.

Close, the problem is this game has embedded its own physx drivers rather than requiring you to install them to the system, both together are creating a bit of a problem. Delete the physxcore.* file in the game directory, problem solved.
