But now it seems that Nvidia has unintentionally removed the hybrid PhysX blockage in the recent 257.15 GeForce drivers. However, it is still a mystery for us if it was done intentionally or perheps it is just a bug. "I'm seriously amazed. I've tested it by myself on Windows XP and Windows 7 x64 - it really works out of the box with 257.15. And even more surprising - timebomb issue is gone too. It would be at least one respectable deed by Nvidia, and my mod would be obsolete, which is great for everyone. So we better hope this is permanent." said GenL.

nvidia confimred the bug

This is a bug! confirmed by Nvidia. "Yes, this is a bug in the latest build of PhysX that was packaged with the driver. We'll be fixing this issue ASAP - the WHQL driver launching in early June won't have this issue."

I can confirm that this DOES work with my HD 4870 X2 and 8800 GTX.

Also, Nvidia is NOT going to update the driver to remove the missing "DRM". They are going to leave the beta up as it is, when they release the WHQL certified drivers though, you will not be able to use those for PhysX without GenL's Hybrid PhysX mod.
