I recently bought “Mirror’s Edge” for a few bucks – I heard it’s an interesting game, at least design-wise, and wanted to try it out….

However, I ran into some troubles – the game simply did not start; I could see a flash screen with some EA logo, and then the application was terminated by windows (“…detected an error” kind of error message)

So, I searched around quite a lot, updated my nvidia drivers, but nothing helped. I found this post with a lot of tips, none of which helped.

But then, I realized that the post actually has more pages – and on page 2, there was a tiny tip, saying that in the file Documents/EA Games/Mirror’s Edge/TdGame/Config/TDEngine.ini, one should change the line

MaxMultisamples=2

into

MaxMultisamples=1

That did it – I can now play the game!
