Error Message
There are nearly always bugs in games, even if some are smaller than others, I am about to tell you how to fix one of the error messages that you could receive when starting Gears Of War for the pc. And how to fix it easily.
If you receive the error message:
“PhysXCore.dll You cannot run the game with modified execute code.”
Or any other error message with “You cannot run the game with modified execute code“.
Fixing the Error
- Put in your Gears of War DVD or CD
- Go to -> My Computer -> your DVD Drive:\ (labeled gears of war) -> browse to the following folder
- “Drive:\program files\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\Binaries”
- (If you don’t have the disk you can download the files at the bottom of this post)
- Right click copy “PhysXCore.dll“
- Then browse to your Gears of War installation path
- “Installation Drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\Binaries”
- Then paste the file in that folder.(PhysXCore.dll)
- Replace the file then close.
Now you should be able to open and run Gears of War as normal.
Their are other variants of this message such as openal32.dll, in which the same process can be used to fix the error. You just need to use the file openal32.dll instead of PhysXCore.dll when following the instructions above.
Required Files to fix:
Download openal32.dll and physxcore.dll here.

Right some of you that are viewing my post may be wondering what the xbox 360 intercooler actually is or maybe even just to see what I think of it before you purchase your own (if you are thinking this then please hold fire until you read what I have to say).
Firstly the xbox 360 intercooler is a piece of xbox 360 hardware that is supposed to COOL down the components inside your xbox 360 console. This hardware simply plugs into the back of your xbox 360 console and the power lead plugs into the back of it.
Please see my illustrations to show this:
At this point in time you are most probably thinking:
“right the intercooler plugs into my xbox 360 console and doesn’t look bad and also helps the components keep cool so I can play games like Gears of War and Halo 3 for longer. What is this kid talking about!”
If you are thinking the above then you are so wrong.
Yes it sounds great but the bottom line is, that the intercooler doesn’t help your xbox 360 it actually breaks it!!
This piece of hardware is one of the main reasons alot of people get the xbox 360 dreaded red ring of death. Trust me I know this from experience as it has happened to me. If you don’t know what the xbox 360 red ring of death is then please see the below image and I would like to add that I really hope it does not happen to you.
When you get the ring of death it is one of the worst feelings ever as this means your xbox 360 console is completely broken and you need a new one!
Don’t get me wrong I am not saying that every intercooler is bad but I know of many people who have had the same problem as me.
After all the trouble this hardware has given me and many others I can safely say do not buy one and save your money!
My user rating for this hardware is 2/10.

Hi all,
I have been having a think about the 2 best xbox 360 games out Halo 3 and Gears of War.
I am going to make a few good and bad points.
One of the biggest differences between Halo and Gears is simply that Halo has vehicles . Yes this does bring a new edge to a game and in some cases makes it more enjoyable to play and would like to see some type of vehicle in Gears of War 2.
Secondly Halo allows more people in one game than Gears does. Not that this is a problem as Gears of War doesn’t really need to have more players as it is much more of a Tactical game than Halo.
One thing that is annoying on Halo would be the lag! I have never known a game with as much lag as Halo 3 and it can make the game very irritating to play and even get me to take it out my console.
The heads-hots on Gears of War are so much better than the head-shots on Halo as they are much more graphic!
Its a shame that Gears does not have medals like Halo as this can be cool when you are playing with your mates on xbox live.
Last but not least I think that in Gears of War 2 needs to have a video replay section Halo3 because it is really cool to see your kills etc.
Thanks for reading.
