ME2 Arrival DLC giving me "failed to initialize the physics system"

Just installed this DLC and now ME2 isnt running

I keep getting the error
"failed to initialize the physics system"

Iv went back to the latest official drivers and the driver before that but nothing has worked. I did a clean wipe and install of drivers. Im currently on the latest beta drivers which work best for me on other games.

Is there anyway to roll back just physx software/drivers ? the installer always cancels because i have a newer version of physx installed.

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread. This is mostly a game issue than a graphics card issue. I have a nvidia 460gtx SLI with sli profile set to off.

Thanks.

not sure you might have to reinstall the lot and reinstall dlc from cerberus again.
btw the new dlc is really buggy even during play. (sound skips, missing objects, subs not showing etc etc) so this doesnt surprise me.

reinstalling ME2 again without any DLCs and then ill see what the story is. It seemed to work fine yesterday before the DLC.
cheers, never knew it was buggy might do some further research into that!

ME2 seems to work great without any dlc! i installed all DLC but not arrival and worked fine. installed arrival and worked for a while then just crashes to desktop. dont even know how to start the mission on arrival.
