Did nvidia just lie about 32-bit physx support?
About a year ago nvidia bragged about reinstating 32-bit physx support for 50 series cards, but for some titles it seems like it was a blatant lie. They just added the toggle back in the game settings, however it does nothing or it crashes the game with any physx setting other than OFF.
I have a 5080 and tried every troubleshooting possible to play AC 4 Black Flag with physx on (eg: low, normal or high) however all I get is a crash or freeze. I tried troubleshooting using methods mentioned in the official support thread (profile inspector, legacy physx, clean install of 591.44) yet I get the same error regardless.
They even confirmed it reproducible in the official support thread, yet there was no development since almost a year ago.
If anyone has had any kind of success please let me know.
