If you are one of the lucky guys to get the popup error whit the , "nxcooking.dll" thing. This is what you need to do.

After Installing all the requiered updates, take the Files in the "DarkPhysics_Update_105.zipCompilerplugins-licensed" Folder and put them on your project folder. Compile your project and Voalaaa!

You can copy the same files on each of the Competion Demos Folders independently an run each one.

Maybe you are going to need to put one more DLL on those folders: d3dx9_37.dll that i'm including in this post.

I hope this works for you too!
Happy Coding!

that sounds just like the Competition 2008 / Soft Bodies file, it worked even throe none of the other code demos did.

I had a look at it and it had three .dll files in it.

NxCharacter.dll - NxCooking.dll - NxExtensions.dll

I guess thats how it worked.

I have well and truly given up with this update, I think that I`m going to wait for the next one.

hopefully it will be more software as well as hardware based, hackinc 2000 how did you work this out?

You got me half-way there. I put the upgrade .dlls in the project folder and now did not get the missing NXCooking.dll error which I had been getting. However, I got the missing d3dx9_37.dll error.

I downloaded what you posted and put that in. Now, it starts executing the program but suddenly opens up my browser to the NVidia page where I would download the updated drivers for my card - which I have downloaded and installed about 5 times over the last 5 hours. When I close the browser the program dumps. So I'm closer, but not there yet. I too am about ready to give up on DBP and TGC. Developers aren't responding to several days' worth of concerns on the main update thread.

the d3dx9_37.dll file is meant to go in your windows\system directory
that should fix this d3dx9_37.dll error

That indicates you need to update DirectX. The latest version includes this file.

Moved the d3dx9_37.dll to the Windows system folder.
Still the program interrupts to open my browser to the nvidia download page.
Reinstalled the most updated DirectX
Does the same thing.
For what its worth, I'm using Vista and the Nvidia card is 8500GT

On the System Download page, this one works for me...

Thanks for the suggestion. I installed that. Doesn't help. If I don't have the dll in the directory it gives me an error that its missing. If I do, it opens the browser to nvidia's site. I'll just go back to the un-upgraded version of Dark Physics, which was working fine.
