Mirror's Edge problems

Greenlizard0 · 14 Feb 2009 at 13:57

I'm not sure where to put this but here goes.

I purchased a download version (legit) of this game from EA and it seems to load up fine etc. I'm going to presume therefore it's the latest version, and I don't need to start hunting for patches.

Whenever I'm playing, the screen seems to blank out for a few seconds when I want to do something mildly complex and my view of its world disappears. Say e.g. I want to jump. I can run, but as soon as I take off, the screen goes black, and then it returns a few seconds later to where I've landed.

The sound also disappears I should add.

I started on 1600x1200, most settings on medium and AA on 2x. I gradually reduced all these settings and lowered the resolution to 1280x1024. However the problem doesn't go away, and more importantly the nature of it doesn't seem to reduce/increase either. This is making me think that it surely can't be my spec?

AMD AM2 6000+
Asus M2n32-SLI Deluxe Wifi
Geil 4GB PC6400 Ram
BFG 8800 GTS 640MB
Iiyama Pro 513 MA203DT 22" monitor.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have already tried that.

This is the first time I've ALT TABBED out of the game, and am finding both cores of my CPU locked at 100%. I also have an error balloon pop up saying my drivers crashed but were recovered? :confused:

I'm on Vista 64. Just updated my drivers to the latest version though not sure if that'll help.

I only updated from 180 to 181 or something.

These latest drivers appear to have sorted out the problem. Got to say I'm starting to enjoy this game.

The one thing I do find annoying is that you can't really save it. And there aren't enough check points, so if you exit the game - the entire level has to be done again (I think).

This game is quite intrigueing, I just love the colours lol!

One thing - I'm at the point where Faith has just listened in on the guy with the grey haiir, and I have a minute to get out of there before the swat team arrives.

I go the main room, and climb up the water feature, and then climb to the second tier. I smash all the windows (because, well, it's fun), but then where on earth do I go?

Crap that's huge, sorry.

Can you help? I don't know where to go etc., in the bit of the picture above.

I use the bar to swing onto the second level...and then..?

Greenlizard0 · 15 Feb 2009 at 17:01

It's in Chapter 3 - Heat.

Managed it - was going up to the wrong platform

Greenlizard0 · 16 Feb 2009 at 17:43

I keep thinking it should be easy but there's some really hard bits in it.

I'm stuck again, I can't for the life of me work out how to climb up a damn air conditioner. I've checked this time to see if there's anything else to climb up - but nothing :confused:

I'm on Parendella/Kruger and I can see the damn red door at the top of the building, but I just can't seem to climb to the top of it?

EDIT - just as I post I did it...pfft.

Phew...completed it. That's one good game. Enjoyed the graphics and the score esp!

Greenlizard0 · 17 Feb 2009 at 19:20

Yea, the ending was pretty neat. It was hell getting there and my fingers and wrists are sore, but well worth it haha!

They're planning on releasing an album for it which I think is pretty cool. Looking athe list of DJ's that remixed the original theme and just how good the score was it's understandable.
