Has anyone been able to get the PhysX SDK recently?

What topic says. It seems that it's pretty hard to get the PhysX SDK since they moved PhysX to Nvidia. I've asked on the Nvidia forums, and I've emailed their support, but didn't really get enlightened. It seems that I have to wait to either get my account on Ageia activated, or wait until the move to Nvidia is completed.

Does anyone have a clue how to get the SDK another way, or is there nothing to do but wait?


Thanks in advance

I got access to the developer support site 4 days after I registered about a month ago.
The project I'm working on is mainly for school so that might have helped with getting an account there, but I don't know if they really read that stuff thoroughly :P

Sending the SDK to someone who doesn't have an account there is probably not allowed so I'm afraid you have to wait :(

Nope. NxOgre needs the SDK, which requires you to register and download it from Ageia.

You register your account at Ageia. The staff their validate your account which takes 2-3 days. Once the validation is done, you have access to the download section from which you can download the PhysX SDK.

That's is the way they normally do it, but I've waited about 2 weeks now.

When I mailed and asked them they said that the reason for the slow activation is cause they are moving parts of the site to Nvidia, and that they are not going to activate any new accounts until the move is done.

Sorry to bump the thread, but figured I'd post some more "official" information, seems there is a few people here being confused by it.

Attention: We will stop new account registration approval of devsupport.ageia.com beginning April 22nd.


So yet again, there is nothing for us to do but wait.

Although in the mean time as NVIDIA is getting their act together, searching for the file PhysX_2.7.3_SDK_Core.exe might be useful.... ;)

Not a good thing to say.

NVIDIA has released a newer version (2.8.0) of the SDK and dropped the registration requirements:
