I got this as a gift during the holiday sale and wanted to let people know that the game does not work after installing it.

My issue: The game does not load. No error message of any kind.
Online they tell you that there is a PhysXLoader.dll missing but this is not the case.

simply navigate to the in game files and right click on the game.exe file > click properties > go to the compatibility tab > I chose windows xp(service pack 2) > click apply

Now you should be able to run your game by hitting play in steam as usual.

if people are wondering, I did try all those online solutions and they did not work so save yourself some time and try the compatibility thing first.
