Make sure to run the game at least once before following this guide.

  1. First, download physx from https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/physx/9_10_0513/physx-9-10-0513-driver/
    (NOTE: Other versions may work as well)

  2. In steam, right click the game, go to Manage -> Browse local files

  3. Rename bcr.exe to something else (I added an undescore to the name)

  4. Paste the downloaded physx installer to this folder and rename it bcr.exe

  5. Launch the game through steam, this time the installer will run.

  6. After it finishes, restore the original game executable.

Profit!


NOTE 2: This should work on the steam deck as well, you need to execute all the steps in desktop mode steam

Thank you very much: this indeed does works on steam deck. In fact, BCR will not work on my PC Windows 10 machine no matter steps I take, but it does works on Steam Deck via Proton 9.0-2 if steps in this guide are taken.

It should be in the game´s directory

I don’t see bcr.exe anywhere. Should it be in the game directory or somewhere in the steam system files?

I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to install physx with protontricks, but then I found this guide that made the installation WAY easier. Thank you! :B1::ss13ok:

the one you changed its name in step 3. Also, try newer proton version, I ran it on 7.something (i don't remember, but definitely was proton 7

Hi, I have a question on #6. I did all of the steps and on step 6 is it that I rename the original exe back and then go try to run it? What exactly is the original game executable? It's still giving me the error screen with proton 6 when either original exe is bcr or physX is the exe. What am I missing. I should
add I'm on Deck
