Nvidia has released a small PhysX patch for Batman: Arkham Asylum title. Description says:

In order to experience Batman: Arkham Asylum to its fullest extent when running PhysX on GeForce GTX 480 and 470 GPUs, users will need to replace the existing RRB.DLL file with a new one. In most configurations, the RRB.DLL can be found in the “\Square Enix\Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY\Binaries” directory.

If it is not located in this directory, please do a search for the filename on your system.

RRB.DLL is responsible for GPU accelerated Rigid Bodies calculations – large-scale physics effect, mostly memorable from Scarecrow nightmares.

You see ? Only two months passed and I was able to fix it

Small patch for Dark Void title emerges today – it’s purpose is to resolve issues with PhysX mini-driver, called “Game System Installer”, which was able to corrupt existing PhysX System Software installation (my personal experience), and cause other problems.

From nzone.com:

An earlier version of PhysX System Installer, called “Game System Installer”, was inadvertently provided and subsequently incorporated into the released version of Dark Void for PC. This version is not compatible with some accelerated PhysX configurations and features, most notably the ability to turn on the medium and high PhysX setting within the game.

Please use the new PhysX System Installer patch below which will automatically cleanup and update the PhysX subsystem to resolve this issue.

Please note, retail version of Dark Void requires main PhysX patch to be applied firstly.

Dark Void page at nzone.com was updated with two new downloads:

Important Notice: Benchmark does not include APEX Turbulence based smoke and particles, so effects amount is equal to PhysX “Low” in-game setting.
