My System
Intel Q6600
4GB DDR 800 RAM
HD4850 512MB
Windows XP (32 Bit) - Sever 2008 (64 bit) - Windows 7 (32 bit) Tripple boot system.
Steam is installed on Windows 7 (32 bit)
Ok like others, at first the game wouldnt start at all, steam said launching game etc but nothing happened, no error message or anything. The information needed to fix the game is spread over several threads so Ive decided to place it all here to help others.
After reading a few threads it seems that the game doesnt install PhysX correctly. It creates the directory structure but some of the DLLs are missing.
I had to download the latest PhysX drivers and copy the DLLs across into the correct place.
The PhysX DLLS need to be copied from here
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common
to here
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\zombie driver\PhysX
the file names are
cudart32_30_9.dll
physxcudart_20.dll
PhysXDevice.dll
PhysXLoader.dll
After doing this the game would go into the menu but still crash after the first mission briefing.
So then I read another thread and installed .Net 4 by downloading the standalone EXE installer from microsoft.com and now the game runs fine.
The .Net 4 EXE installer is located here

Hope this helps somebody. Peace.
