Issues fixed

Failed to start game (app already running) error

Additional symptom: Task manager (or Process Explorer) shows the game appear in the task list, but it closes immediately.

Restart Steam.

Startup crash

Startup crashes pertain to PhysX v2.7.1. Uninstall PhysX, and reinstall the NVidia System PhysX software.

If the issue still persists from the official drivers, uninstall PhysX, and attempt to use a legacy installer (such as the one distributed with the game.) Follow the instructions for merging PhysX files from C:\Program Files (x86)\AGEIA Technologies\v2.7.1 to C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Engine\v2.7.1
