  Short google search turns up plenty of BSOD complaints in the time between the beta and the June 14th patch. Given how rare BSOD is now, particularly on Windows 10, I think you have your answer.

  The reason all of us are complaining is because there isn't even an option for legacy support. The PC I got had 2 5770s in crossfire, and they can run most games on ultra. Mirrors Edge ran fine on High, and then I updated and now I can't use my game anymore. I get that driver locks are for there for a reason, but why can't we have a workaroud to use at our own risk?

  No, there is no reason.
  Also just delete the initfs_Win32 file inside the Patch folder and the game should run, if your card works with the 15.12 driver version (since it did before, it will now).

  As I've said earlier: "I also have this problem! It seems a bit unfair that a game I waited 3 months for, and paid $60 for, is unplayable now. So you force update a game, don't fix the problem that the update was for, prevent a LOT of people from playing the game anymore, let alone even LAUNCHING the game in some cases, and then you don't even respond to the many, MANY forum posts about the issue? It seems rather unlikely that no one on the Dev team is monitoring the forums or even bothering to respond to them."
  Okay, I realize that you said not to yell at Dice/EA, because it's not actually them. But, how is it that I can't play MEC at ALL yet I can STILL run GTAV??? MEC never lagged during gameplay, while GTAV does. Yet here we are. It just seems really dumb, honestly. It's probably too late for me to get a refund, anyways...

  You knew that your PC was below minimal requirements when you paid your money. You knew that it MIGHT or MIGHT NOT work, thus taking a risk. Now it's not working. You got no right to complain. If I eat a year old burger from Mac'D I can't go there and complain that I got stomach sick. They sold me a burger that's meant to be eaten within a day or two. I took the risk of having it on a shelf for a year.
  Don't blame people that telling you "look, you need 650Ti / R9 270x or better and newer or we can't gurantee it will work". Then you shove it up your's granddads PC with "Radeon a la 2002" and want your money back... Ridiculous. Thy running it on a game boy and claim that the game does not install..

  You would have had a point if the game didn't work in the first place, but the Beta worked and the full game worked. It was only after the last update that it no longer worked.
  Conclusion: There's nothing wrong with AMD cards, especially if cards that are extremely old can still run the game.
  For the people that are actually having a proper complaint and want a solution, word is that AMD and DICE are working to getting this fixed, to get a warning rather than a complete lock-out.

  You can't say it worked, when you did not conduct full testing on the game with test cases. Maybe something worked, but word is... a lot of people got BSOD and other stuff before the update. So I can't say it worked with your cards then. Doesn't matter if it worked or not. It's not guaranteed, thus not guaranteed. Period.
  How hard can it be to understand. It's very good that your game worked for the given time, but you might as well get a BSOD and then come here telling how bad the game is, as it's crashes all the time. DICE does not want to mess around with old drivers, and they shouldn't. There for a valid requirement was put in place. All GPUs that are supported are supported. Yours aren't supported and never was. Go complain to AMD, they are to blame, not DICE or EA.
  AMD are famous for bad support and drivers so I'm not surprised this happens.

  Thanks man! Game works again after deleting this file... And I am happy.
  And @zeraoo98 , AMD didn't lock the game... I have my AMD Radeon HD 5870 since 2010 and I still can play MEC on medium details at 30 fps. I understand that you are "nvidia fanboy", but all you have said about AMD is just a ****. I had Nvidia card just once. And it was definitely last time...

  @zeraoo98 nVidia is good at convincing people that their stuff works when it doesn't.
  Even DigitalFoundry fell for their nonsense. DF portrayed the GTX 970 as a superior card to the R9 390 in this game, because at Hyper Settings, the GTX 970 was beating the R9 390 significitantly. Ultimately, the GTX 970 was silently running at Ultra settings rather than Hyper settings.... When retested, guess what happened...

  i was also surprised to get an update for the game and suddenly it requested of me to update my drivers when before it worked just fine. anyway, i got the latest drivers for my R9 290x and the game ran fine afterwards. still running on max settings smoothly, no issues for me at least.
  but i did have noticed that after the update it needs longer to load the game and flickers a bit during loading which i never had before. but only during loading. never wile playing the game.
  i should maybe mention that i use win 7 instead of 10.

  I'm not telling AMD can't make functioning cards. I say that Nvidia has the best flagship cards, and their support (both customer support and driver support) is light years ahead of AMD.

  thanks but as i said, its only during loading. to be even more specific; it happens only once wile loading for a split second. also yesterday it loaded faster. like it used to be.
  i guess the setting file is the "initfs_win32" i read earlier about.

  Could someone walk me through how to delete the "initfs_win32" on Windows 10? I'm new to computer gaming and kinda lost.

  Go to your MEC installation directory mine is at
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mirrors Edge Catalyst
  Then open Patch folder and you see the file in there.
  I recommend renaming it rather than deleting. In that case you will have a backup and game won't be able to find it, thus seeing it as "deleted".
  Also, turn off game updating in origin so it won't be re-downloaded.
