Mass Effect 2 physics for AMD system?

2 Answers

    So, I downloaded Mass Effect 2, graphics is AMD A6, operating system is Windows 8, and I get the message "Failed to initialize the physics system. Please ensure you have an updated version of the PhysX System Software installed."

    Every google search turns up solutions for people running Nvidia, not AMD.

    Or am I doing something wrong? What must be done so I can play Mass Effect 2?

    You still need to install Physx even though you have an AMD graphics card.

    In the Mass Effect 2 folder should be a "redist" folder (if downloaded via Steam) or "_installer" folder (if downloaded via Origin). In that folder will be the Physx you need to install.
