hi ... just bought this from STEAM for £3.24.

When i click to play i immediately get the error message "Mirrors Edge Has Stopped Working" and the game crashes. Great!!

Any ideas anyone?

Maybe some compatibility issue with Windows 7?

Does it crash straight away, before you can get to the game menus or anything?

Yes .. i click the shortcut on my desktop , the screen goes black and then i get an error message.

Also i tried every combination in compatibility mode and it still won't work.....

.... sure it's got something to do with NVidia Physx software it downloaded ....

Have you actually updated your graphics drivers yet?

You've asked a rather inane question - why wouldn't you want to have the latest drivers?

9.12 drivers installed .... inane answer - but also an inane question

Got the latest physx too? Just incase.

And don't be so blunt with people trying to provide help. They won't take too kindly.

ah ah!!! - wouldn't STEAM automatically update the physx drivers? Seems strange i have to install an NVidia piece of software for an ATI card ....

I don't think so but here :-

And doesn't matter the game needs the drivers I think. ATi card or not. If that doesn't work then...

Steam installs version 8.10, whilst the latest drivers are 9.09. Installed the latest physx driver and still wont work. Bugger.

unistalled game and physx driver and 9.12 drivers and then reinstalled everything again and the game works fine!!!

I got no idea how what the fix was!! ...

now looking forward to see what the next batch of cheap games will be available in about 2 hours .....
