I would have posted a print screen instead of a picture of the screen but it locks up the pc completely. its after anout 2-3 minutes of gameply.

mirrors edge catalyst. have played this game on old pc and another pc no issue but this rx590 is giving me issues. I dont play newer games then 2017.

I do remember playing it on this gpu in an older system but I cant remember the details

I am running 21.3.1. 21.4.1 did not work nor did anything in the 22 work. syaing it doesnt support my version which is 1709. I usully play older games. my pc is not connected to the net.

I wouldn't believe in this for games 2016-2017. 2020+ - MAYBE.

what are you talking about. this game runs on windows 7 like a champ. so if it wont work on a newer os then w7, like 1709 then it WILL work on the newest w10? doesnt make sense.

DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer

Im guessing this needs to be connected to the net to get?

its only a 288kb file. is there a way to download an offline version?

seems like your running cracked version which needs modern windows 10

if other games are working fine now, its the game needing different os

I played around with this game long ago and its a pos to run it

1. Buy the game
2. Update your GPU drivers
3. Update Windows
4. Update all end-user runtimes
5. Disable any overclocks that may have been in place

Then we talk troubleshooting

its the requirements to run the game im talking about like os and certain newer drivers which op doesn't want to listen to

forgot to mention game is very poorly optimized and EA abandoned it. you need a monster pc and oc to run properly even

Oh sorry, it looks like it has Denuvo :

I usully play older games. my pc is not connected to the net.
I play mostly older games too and I avoid Denuvo titles like the plague. Last time I checked, in addition to all the obfuscation / virtualization based DRM, they also store some kind of token on the disk that needs periodic refreshing, ie, if you're 100% offline (like a GOG game), even if it works to start with, eventually it'll stop working. This is on top of all the other architectural incompatibility issues Denuvo has.
