He has a 290x

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Go into the files of Metro 2033 example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\metro 2033\ and search for the PhysX installer. Try that

good, let steam download the file and try running it again. if you get the error again restart your computer and try running the game again

If you don't want to update it just take it out or say "variable GPU".

Its because the installer didnt install physx even if you have an ATI card you need it installed. 

If an rr doesnt work then go into the game files C:\programefiles \THQ and you should be able to find a physx setup/installer in the metro2033 folder somewhere.

Your mistake was going AMD.  Nvidia ... play games the way they were meant to be played.

OP I wonder if I ever advised you to go Nvidia and you ignored me.  Just curious.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

If AMD releases something in a video card that is equal to PhysX then I will be on board.
