*Fixed* I messed up and I'm looking for a bit of help. Nvidia PhysX

Post by Paradoxicaily »

So i read online that I need to uninstall Nvidia Graphics drivers and PhysX in the control panel before I use DDU, I did so for the Graphics, but I thought PhysX was its own thing, not Nvidia and didn't see it, so I didn't remover it. Then I booted into safemode and rand DDU.
Now I'm left with Nvidia PhysX on my PC and I cant Uninstall it with my current level of understanding.
When I try to uninstall it I get the Error: C:\Program Files\Nvidia Corporation\Installer2\InstallerCore\NVI2.DLL "The specified module could not be found."
I think that's saying I need something removed in DDU to remove PhysX. I know this is my fault, I saw later that its an option you need to select in one of the form posts on here.
Im hoping you're gonna tell me to fix this I only need to Run DDU again with that option enabled. My AMD Radeon 6700xt is having some trouble now with its drivers, and I'm hoping this is the issue. If I need to just delete the files, I can find them aswell, but I assume people say to uninstall them for a reason. So while I have found them, I haven't done anything to them in my file manager. I also do know where it is in my control panel so if its just booting that in administrator, then let me know.

Thanks for reading, any help would be great!

Hi, can you email me the ddu folder logs so I can check the current state? [email protected]
It's probably nothing serious

Its in the DDU folders .
Check the DDU options, you may have forgotten to tick the checkbox to remove physx.
If it's only that, just do another shot of ddu with that option.
Be sure to use the latest version if ddu

There's two of us already. Maybe we should create a new topic
