Good evening.
I bought a few days ago "Mirror's Edge Catalyst", after having played for about twenty minutes, the game has crashed. Now the game crash at the start every time.
I already tried to updating the video card driver, but, being dated, it is no longer updated.
I tried to follow this step: https://help.ea.com/it-it/help/mirrors-edge/mirror-s-edge-catalyst/troubleshoot-mirrors-edge-catalyst-issues/
I tried clean boot and also the "game repair".
I also tried to delete the data folder "Mirror's Edge Catalyst" present in "documents" and this step has given me the same twenty minutes of play and then crash again.
I do not know what to do.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance

  Have you tried reinstalling/repairing DirectX?

  Sometimes the Origin cloud data is messing the save file. I had problems in the beginning too, and it throws me some errors. Then I tried deleting origin save files. Somehow the game plays normally. Or even try playing the game in offline first.

  I tried to play offline ... I do not know how it worked, but I can play without problems.
  Thank you
  Edit:
  It was working .. I closed the game, I have re-opened and it crashed again with the same error

  Try downloading this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 (be sure to uncheck all the **** offers and press "No thank you" before starting the download, otherwise you will get a bunch of other unrelated **** with the download).
  When you run the program, it will ask you to extract the files to a path of your choice. Create a new folder, for example on your desktop, and choose that one. Then go into that new folder after you've extracted and run DXSETUP.EXE

  Try what testarff said first. Should be fine.
  If it still didn't work, Uncheck the "Enable Cloud Data" for this game before launching it. Play the game for a while, and then Check it back. When Origin got confused by your data conflict, use your local data to overwrite the Cloud data.
