Darkest of Days does not support newer versions of PhysX. You can tell if the game is crashing due to PhysX if the line "Physics SDK creation failed, wrong DLL version?" is present in the game_all.log file in the installation directory. Uninstall PhysX and reinstall using the version in the "physx" folder of the installation directory. (PhysX_9.09.0814_SystemSoftware.exe)
