    Hi all,

    I have a GTX 680 and the latest beta drivers and the gpu physics is grayed out. Is any body having similar issues? Any clue on fixing this?

    Try changing your resolution, I had the same issue because for some reason the game thought i had a 1950:1080 monitor and made that the default resolution. (i have a 1650:1080 monitor)

    hmmm just tried that it doesn't work. Also the beta had volumetric lighting will the real release get volumetric lighting?

    I have same greyed out box for phys X. Windows 8 pro 64, EVGA GTx 660 SC, FX 8120 CPU. Running latest NVIDIA beta driver released today the 20th.

    I read somewhere it has been disabled temporary...

    If you think you have it on, you'll know. It should look like this:

    I have an Overclocked NVIDIA 580M GTX with the latest drivers (I'm not gonna use beta drivers, that shouldn't be required) and overclocked to 720Mhz GPU Clock / 1800Mhz Memory Clock using EVGA Precision X 3.0.4.

    Not understanding why the physics in grayed out for me too.

    Full specs :

    Connection : I connect from China (though I'm a US citizen, I'm an expat),but use a VPN to get around the trouble of connecting. I don't know Chinese so I won't be able to play on their servers when they're online either. This is pretty much my only option. It works okay anyway.

    But yeah, seriously, this shouldn't be a problem.

  10. slannmage

    Been disabled for now.

    It doesn't do anything to enhance the game and you barely notice it.

    I tried GPU physics in beta & saw no aditional effects, now its grayed out (updated to beta driver before launch)

    Even though I don't even have an nVidia PhysX card, enabling it during the beta always gave me a decent FPS boost.

    Still would be nice to be able to enable it for the players with nVidia graphics or PhysX cards who enjoy the eye candy.

    Just got in this morning and we're waiting on more information to confirm whether or not it has been disabled officially.
  17. Alexander13

    Thank you. If not, it needs a fix. What we all seem to have in common is Nvidia cards.
  18. TSR-JoshuaM Customer Service

    It is disabled at this time, if we get any information on when it will be returning we'll be here to post it on this thread.

    Can't wait for it to return! I do hope it's possible to have a slightly longer draw distance of the particles, or have them scale down by distance (so at a longer range you'd still get a few of them, instead of having it turn "on and off" at a set range)

    Thanks for the answer! Been bugging me for a while ^_^
