PhysX on Batman Arkham Asylum (feddit.it)

I have a Nvidia gpu with the latest proprietary drivers, and I'm trying to play BAA from egs (using heroic) but physX doesn't work.

I have run the automatic winetricks (I don't know which ones because heroic doesn't tell) and I have tryed this also the environment variable PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1, but it still doesn't run on the gpu, even if the message "no hardware physx detected" stopped showing.

And if hardware acceleration doesn't work, I get the same behaviour on arkham city, but the game runs at double the framerate, even if using the cpu. Would it be possible to get asylum to run like city? I have tried swapping some dlls but nothing.

What framerate are you getting? According to PCGamingWiki, the game is capped at 62FPS by default and if you want to get around that you'll need the fan-made Advanced Launcher.

They also mention on there that you'll need to have the PhysX System Software installed if you want PhysX to work (in your case installed probably via winetricks on the same Wine prefix as the game).

I already use the fan made launcher for textures, but I don't need more than 62. I'm getting 30 fps when physx is enabled.

I will try to run the winetrick manually, I expected heroic to do that itself as it does for other tricks.
