Physix with ATI

[Carmine]

I have a problem with PhysiX. I'm using an ATI video card.
I installed PhysiX but if I just try to import from PhysiX
the system throws a dll exception..

Are there some specific procedure to use PhysiX with an ATI?

To the best of my knowledge, PhysX should run on a machine with any type of graphics card, the only difference being that it won't be accelerated unless it's a modern NVidia card.

What DLL is throwing the exception and what kind of an exception are you getting?

Cheers,

I put simply the import "PhysxManager"
and this is the exeception:

factory8: from panda3d.physx import PhysxManager
panda3d.py: in _getattr_mod = self._manager_libimport(self._library_)
panda3d.py: in libimport return cls.imp.load_dynamic(name,target)
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

I found some sites in which people show solutions to run PhysX on ATI cards, but a lot of them are fakes.

... maybe it is not a problem of the video-card but just a configuration problem...

...by the way, the solution to this problem (we found it in class) was that the NxCharacter.dll file (from the assets file) had to be in the same folder as the program...
